The 5/25 Move to Action effort seeks to galvanize private sector actions that will have real impact on an equitable economic recovery in Chicago. We ask companies to take at least one action. Examples of what companies can do include:
- Increase annual spend with local Black and Latinx firms by at least 25%;
- Increase second-chance hires in the workforce by at least 25%; or
- Invest in the initial $25 million capital raise for the EPIC Fund, a new vehicle for providing equity capital for catalytic real estate projects in under-invested communities.
