OBAMA FOUNDATION update

Hey -- I want you to hear this news straight from me, because it's something I'm deeply honored to be involved with: The Obama Foundation will close out its Summit with a concert on November 1. I'm helping put it together, and I've asked some friends to join me. I want you to be a part of it -- but I don't want you to just watch. I want you to get inspired, I want you to get out in your own community, and I want you to go change something. Want to make sure you watch live? Sign up for a reminder right here. It's such an honor to help creative direct this show. That's because I am blessed to be part of a generation with an inherent sense of self. One that is inspired not just to talk about what needs to be changed -- but get up and change it. Growing up in Chicago, I was lucky enough to be able to just do my own thing. To explore my creativity, to be curious, to experiment and make music. I owe that to my parents -- who showed me love and community. I owe that to my church, where I built some of my longest friendships and learned I like music. I owe that to the Harold Washington Public Library's YOUmedia space, which gave kids a place to come after school and be creative -- you didn't have to have good grades, and you didn't have to have an in. I could go on. I want to help make sure every young man and woman in this city has those opportunities, too. I want to help inspire and empower young people to change their world, just like the Obama Foundation. That's what this Summit is all about -- bringing together change makers from around the world to celebrate what we've done so far, and recommit to taking on the greatest challenges of our time. And we've got a lot of work to do together. So, let's do this. And if you can't be there in person, get a reminder to watch live. We're putting together a great show for you. Be a part of it. See you out there -- Chance
