For decades, Chicago has spent billions fighting poverty—yet too many neighborhoods remain trapped in cycles of dependency. On March 19, the Center for Poverty Solutions invites you to be part of a different conversation.
Please join us for Breaking the Cycle: A Fireside Chat on the State of Poverty in Chicago, an evening discussion featuring Dr. Ed Kornegay and James Whitford, author of The Crisis of Dependency. Together, they will explore why traditional anti-poverty programs fall short — and how a bottom-up approach led by families, faith communities, and neighborhood leaders is beginning to change the trajectory.
This conversation is designed for civic and faith leaders, policy professionals, employers, and anyone passionate about restoring dignity and opportunity in Chicago’s communities.
Admission: $50 for guests | Complimentary for current donors and partners
