WTTW believes in the power of news to engage communities in dialogue around the most important social and cultural issues of our time. Our Community Conversations bring audiences together to explore societal and culturally relevant topics that can promote healthy conversations. 

WTTW News invites you to Chicago Tonight VOICES: A WTTW News Community Conversation. Brandis Friedman, Chicago Tonight co-anchor and host of Black Voices, will moderate the online conversation with community and thought leaders as they discuss the somber one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. The panel will feature Berto Aguayo (Increase the Peace), Liz Dozier (Chicago Beyond), Grace Pai (Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago), Xavier Ramey (Justice Informed) and Jazmine Salas (Chicago Alliance Against Racial and Political Repression). Panelists will explore the impact his death has had both locally and nationally, share their thoughts on where the racial justice movement stands, and offer ideas for the path forward.
