On June 6, 2020, ChiEnl and UCR jointly released a statement in support of Black Lives Matter . Social action takes many forms including participating in protests, making donations to social justice organizations and advocacy groups, and volunteering in support of allied causes. In our June statement, we stated that we would have a matching donation campaign.


Today, we announce that through the end of September, UCR and ChiEnl have each pledged $500 in matching funds for donations to My Block My Hood My City  , a Chicago organization  that provides "underprivileged youth with an awareness of the world and opportunities beyond their neighborhood" and takes "students on explorations focused on STEM, Arts & Culture, Citizenry & Volunteerism, Health, Community Development, Culinary Arts, and Entrepreneurism."


Please join us in supporting My Block, My Hood, My City by making a contribution and stand with us again united against injustice.

These past two weeks have been eye opening for many in the USA. I wanted to find a way to show my support for those protesting for change that went further than just posting on social media and voicing my support.

That's why I've chosen to dedicate a full 24 hours to riding on Zwift to raise money for My Block, My Hood, My City. I will start the ride midday on July 3rd and ride for 24 hours into July 4th. The ride will start at noon on the 3rd! I plan on doing the ride in ~6 hour blocks, with 10-15 minute breaks after each block to change and eat a meal.

You can watch the ride live here: https://www.twitch.tv/thecyclissimo

Several weeks back  we asked everyone... what can we do as a community, with "continuity", that bridges pain to love at home, and in our neighborhoods, to bring peace to all.  We have chosen to raise awereness and funds for a social impact organization called MY BLOCK MY HOOD MY CITY  (MBMHMC)

MBMHMC's mission is to help teenagers overcome the poverty and isolation they face, boosting educational attainment and opening them to opportunities that make a difference in their lives. One of the many ways they achieve this is through their Explorer's Program, exposing them to possibilities beyond their own communities. Many of these children have never even left their neighborhood, so these new experiences can be life changing.

Please join us Thursday at 5:30pm CST as we unite together in support of My Block My Hood My City  and their mission to bring change to Chicago's under-resourced neighborhoods. Thank you in advance for your donations and let's be a part of this change together.

In these quarantimes, just about everything feels weird, hard, and scary, and it’s hard to know where to begin to try to make a difference. In a lighthearted moment lamenting our inability to maintain our haircuts, Danielle and I hit on an idea that might allow us to do both. In researching local organizations that are making an impact for those affected by the COVID-19 crisis here in Chicago, we came across My Block, My Hood, My City, and loved that they are providing urgently needed supplies and relief to at-risk demographics, while also giving vital support and community to their clients in this uncertain time. Next Sunday, Danielle and I will take the problem of haircuts off our plates when we buzz our heads live on Facebook - if we raise $5000 for MBMHMC. Join us as we do our best to spread a little light and laugh at ourselves in the process! Wanna join us? Share this link and get your clippers ready - let’s be real, we could all be home for a while, and the last thing any of us need to worry about is our hair :)
