We are sad to announce that the Fundraiser and Conversation with Mama Akua and Cat Brooks on Sunday, February 17, has been canceled. Organizing circumstances on the ground in Chicago are complex and the stakes are high. The events of the past few days have made it clear that Chairman Fred and Mama Akua need to stay in Chicago at this time.

While we are certainly sad for us that we won’t have the benefit of their wisdom, we are grateful as ever for their work and understand the importance of their physical presence in Chicago. Although Mama Akua can’t make it to this event, she needs our support now, more than ever. We still want to encourage everyone to find a way to make a contribution to the #SaveTheHamptonHouse fund. https://www.gofundme.com/officialsavethehamptonhouse
