After formally endorsing Hillary Clinton at JAY Z’ mega-concert, Chance The Rapper hosted his own free concert in Chicago’s Grant Park to inspire fans to head to the polls on Election Day (November 8th).
Following his performance, Chano would then take the concertgoers in a massive rally to their local voting center (#ParadeToThePolls). Sponsored by his non-profit group Social Works, the young fans were led by both Chance and various organizers to the early voting super center in the Loop.
“I think everyone felt really empowered. We’re sure of ourselves, and we know that we can go out and make a difference,” attendee Ariel Pritchard said.

Hopefully, Chance’s efforts make a significant difference.
