Program begins at 6:30pm

Upper Hutchinson Field, Grant Park, Chicago

Cause the Effect Chicago is proud to participate in this year's Race Against Gun Violence in support of MASK (Mother's Against Senseless Killings). Founded by Tamar Manasseh, MASK is a 3-year-old group that sits watch and builds community in one of Chicago’s most violence-plagued neighborhoods.

Join our team for the two mile walk to help build peace in Chicago and effect change by supporting a women-led, community-based organization. You can run, walk, volunteer, or donate -- there's something for everyone!

Cause the Effect Chicago was founded by Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer and began with a call for women to take their ideas to action. Cause the Effect Chicago provides a platform for women to effect change through activism, civic engagement and political giving. In 2017, Cause the Effect Chicago launched a PAC to support local women running for office. In addition to supporting candidates, Cause the Effect Chicago engages Chicagoland women through issues-based luncheons, informative newsletters, networking events, activist training, candidate forums, and -- following a highly successful Young Feminist Conference -- expanded programming for high school and college-aged young women through its Young Feminist Ambassador Program.
