Chicago State University has been the epicenter of Black political consciousness on Chicago’s South Side for nearly fifty years.
Keeping with the rich tradition of civic engagement and producing the next generation of leadership for the city, the University and the surrounding community will have the opportunity to put their issues before the next newly-elected Mayor.

This free event, hosted by ABC 7’s Evelyn Holmes, will be an opportunity to engage every candidate running for mayor around their plan to improve the quality of life in the city — ranging from access to jobs, criminal justice reform, public safety, and economic development to their commitment to investing in the university and its student body.
