What is the Chicago Creatives for Justice?
The program provides space for aspiring graphic designers and illustrators to develop a variety of beneficial techniques for movement work, because art is critical in any movement or campaign. The program allows us to further build community and collaborate with emerging movement artists in creating visuals as a catalyst for social change.
Please see their work below for our #BringChicagoHome, #TreatmentNotTrauma, and #ILGND4SocialHousing campaigns!
