Equitable Recovery 2021 (2 years)

Chicago Commitment

The organization is a community organization that fosters health, wellness, and healing for urban populations by organizing for social change, cultivating the arts, and operating a holistic health center. Rami Nashishibi, Executive Director of it, teamed up with New York vocalist Drea D’Nur to write and produce an album that focuses on love, racial and social justice, and the struggle of Black Americans and other underrepresented populations. It is building a national tour for the album that includes live performances, artist residencies in each tour city that explore racial and social healing, and a documentary film that follows the artists and communities coming together to heal. The award provides project support to it as it embarks on its This Love Thing Tour.
