Cup & Spoon (now Harrison's Cafe and Clubhouse) hosted Chi DNA: Movement, Media, and Municipal Elections, a multifaceted, community-engaging event featuring youth spoken word performances, the Chi DNA Episode 4 micro-documentary premiere, interactive movement activities (InterPlay), and participatory discourse around the intersections of voting, civic engagement, systemic violence, and radical politics. The end of the night included community announcements, voter registration, and Chicago municipal election information on alderpeople and others up for re-election.

"We see the killings, and we see the divestment; we see the lack of care and concern, we go into these schools, we see...no fuckin' counselors, no librarians but got a cop there, you got a couple cops there, it's ridiculous. And that type of shit should have people out everyday."
