Lupe Fiasco Foundation presents: A Food & Liquor Store Tour

Come and join us next Saturday, as we celebrate Chicago Artists Month. This event is inspired by Lupe Fiasco's Grammy nominated album Food and Liquor. It takes participants on our journey of traveling and shopping at the a local food and liquor store in Lupe’s former East Garfield Park neighborhood located in a current day food desert.

At the beginning of the journey participants will pay homage to youth who lost their lives on the path to the Food & Liquor Store at 111 N. Kedzie.

Lupe Fiasco Foundation: Streets on Fire - Peace for Hire (Follow Up Meeting)

On March 15th there'll be a follow up meeting for the Streets on Fire - Peace for Hire initiative at Jacob Carruthers Center for Inner-City Studies in Chicago. Be there if you can!

Lupe Fiasco offers his Twitter and Facebook to help to bring change to Chicago

After the Streets on Fire, Peace for Hire event in Chicago last night Lupe took to Twitter to state the following:

We would like to thank sincerely all those members of the community that came out to the Strategies For Peace conference last night @ CCICS. It was a very special honor to have Mrs. Cleopatra Pendleton as a part of the conversation with the new youth leaders of the city of Chicago

To see the intellect, passion and bravery of the teenagers on the panel speaking on the roots of violence in their lives was shocking. Shocking because of their realization of the depth of their circumstances and in the revolutionary commitment they have to combatting them.

On April 1st 2013 they want to begin the process of changing those circumstances, Forever. This youth group is using the month of March to plan and formulate major actions within the city of Chicago to begin April 1st until they see radical change in the ways in which the ENTIRE city and EVERYONE in it responds to the violence in their lives.

For this entire month of March #LF will be donating his twitter and facebook to help in spreading information about this developing action. Please follow @LupeFoundation as well for more info in the coming month about how you can take part.

Last night the future of Chicago spoke loud and clear. They asked us to DO and so it must be DONE. #The1stOfApril #NoMoreFoolingAround #CHI

Lupe Fiasco feeds Chicago Again

A long line of Englewood residents waited for vegan ribs, macaroni and greens in front of Payless Grocery on 69th and Ashland.

Dinners like this don’t usually exist in a sea of fast-food eateries. On Tuesday, the vegan flavors came from Soul Vegan Food, courtesy of hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco.

During Ramadan, the Chicago native’s foundation has the goal of feeding 100 people a day. Some are in neighborhoods that are considered food deserts.
