Two-Thirds United was established in 2020 to promote long-term sustainable unity and collaboration of the Latino and African-American communities, following the murder of George Floyd and the resulting unrest.
Two-Thirds United was established in 2020 to address the needs of Chicago’s Latino and Black historically underserved communities. The coalition of Black and Latino community leaders creates community-centered, inclusive, safe places and events to circumvent the harm done to people and communities that have been left behind. The coalition works together to provide access to jobs by way of networking, social services, and education.
In June 2020, a group of leaders from area non-profits serving black and brown communities, endeavored to commit their time and resources to discuss and begin the healing racism has created in our lives and communities, and work together to implement solutions for change. Two-Thirds Coalition quickly realized the immediate need to create community-centered, inclusive, safe places for Black and Latino communities and with the funding from the Chicago Trust's Healing Illinois program created micro grant opportunities to bring communities together in the spirit of unity and much needed change.
Two-Thirds United, a coalition of black and brown community leaders, was recently launched to promote unity and racial healing. The group was formed as a result of the unrest that took place over the summer in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.
Two-Thirds United announced the recipients of $25,000 in funding for community-based activities to support and promote racial healing in Chicago’s Latino and African-American communities.
'When you look at who we are, Latinos and African Americans make two-thirds majority of the the Chicago population, and from that was recommended let's become 'Two-thirds United.''
