The perfect blend of culture and politics.
The Give A Sh*t program works to inspire young people in Chicago to vote and become powerful agents of transformational change by developing a unified narrative and distributing that narrative in a way that is engaging, fun, and authentic.
Give A Sh*t Collective
Chicago Votes has integrated a creative network, the “Give A Sh*t Collective” to operate as a hub for creatives to rethink how we engage young Chicagoans in the political process. The Collective is made up of a diverse set of young creatives in Chicago. They meet monthly in our C Space; a space devoted to creatives in our office.
Sh*t Talks
Sh*t Talks are candid conversations with influential Chicagoans about issues young people care about. They uplift and center the voices of young Chicagoans, and provide viewers and listeners with opportunities to take civic action around issues.
Sh*t Talkin’ Central
Sh*t Talkin’ Central is an online hub for blog posts, video content, trainings, and an archive of our Sh*t Talks. It’s a space where young people can share their authentic voice and talk some sh*t about things that matter to them.
Give A Sh*t Gives Back
We are invested in our communities and being the change we want to see. Give A Sh*t Gives Back is one way we do that. We support young creatives in their mutual aid efforts throughout the city!
