The 500+ page tome features over 151 contributions from Chicago-based artists, social workers, and thinkers responding to the crises of 2020.
Designed by award-winning designers Jeremiah Chiu and Itsayana Campa of Some All None.
All proceeds from sales of the book benefit the non-profit Public Media Institute.
