📢 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 It's here: the trailer for Mississippi Turning, a Moral Courage/Breakout documentary that shows how to heal our caustic culture wars. You'll meet Genesis. She passionately opposes her state flag because it features a salute to slavery. You'll also meet Louis. He sincerely supports that flag because he prizes his heritage. Louis is the proud descendent of a Civil War soldier who fought for the South. Genesis is the proud granddaughter of a Civil Rights activist, Rev. Clyde Briggs, whom the KKK violently targeted. Can Genesis and Louis trust each other enough to figure out a path forward? Mississippi Turning reveals what it looks like to stand your ground and, at the same time, create common ground. We're just a month away from the public premiere of this award-winning doc. Stay tuned for your invitation to the watch parties and audience-driven discussions! #movietrailer #MississippiTurning #MoralCourage

Breakout is a decentralized, city-immersive community that brings together impact driven change-makers in a way that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget. Unlike traditional “conferences”, where everyone gathers in one place to hear from experts and network based on resumes, Breakout transcends that. It’s not about resumes, though the people we’ve met and built with over the years have incredibly impressive ones. It’s about genuine human connection. There’s a saying: tell me and I’ll forget, show me and I might remember, include me and I’ll understand. Breakout embodies this principle, immersing its community into the local fabric in a truly inclusive manner, leading to profoundly enriching experiences. Hosting an intimate dinner and talk at our home was one of those experiences, and we’re deeply grateful to our longtime friend @michaelxfarber and all our new @breakout friends we made, who made this weekend so special for us. Here’s to belonging and continuing to build something meaningful together. 📸: @mytouchfilms

Community is not built, but facilitated. We’re blessed to be a part of the @breakout community and even more blessed to have hosted the community at our home last weekend. More of this to come… Thank you to @j.milhouse, @itschrismcclendon, @mytouchfilms and @_.masquenada for helping us make this a special night for our family.

We could not be more excited to announce our 2023 cohort of Chicago Community Fellows! Last year Gertie and @breakoutfoundation set out to find a cohort of amazing change makers, creators and connectors in chicago who were making an impact on their communities 🌇 Our first cohort was made up of 14 brilliant small business owners, artists, non profit leaders and just all around stellar humans. This year’s cohort is no different 🖤 From urban farming to helping heal trauma through movement and creativity to developing new technology to support and grow the creative economy in chicago — these change makers are incredible and should be on your radar! Welcome to the Chicago Community Fund Family… our teams at @gertie.chicago and @breakout couldn’t be happier to welcome you 👏👏👏
