Thank you for showing up to help amplify the stories of those who have long been silenced and marginalized. 

There are many ways you can support this 754-mile pilgrimage from Chicago to Montgomery.

Host Rachelle's one-woman play, “Late: A Love Story”. Rachelle tells her personal story and the stories of Black people who have touched her life, in a dynamic one-woman play (3 hours including intermission and audience discussion) which can be hosted in a community space seating as few as 12-25 people. She developed the play at Theatre Y, a theater company on the west side of Chicago. See her performance. Join the conversation. Contact Rachelle here.
 

Walk or roll a mile with her. Rachelle welcomes people to join her as she walks for whatever distance suits their physical condition and schedule. It is a way to support her, and amplify the message of her journey from north to south. See the map of the journey here. This also include links to upcoming performances.

 

Join the Community Circle every other week.
 

Publicize Rachelle's six-month pilgrimage to Montgomery, AL. Montgomery, a former hub for the domestic slave trade, the current site of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice commemorating the more than 6,500 people lynched, is now home to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum. 
 

Contribute to a quilt. As a means of documenting the stories of people along Rachelle’s 754-mile journey, several volunteers have conceived of creating a huge quilt (or a series of quilts) whose many multi-colored squares reflect the communities she visits and the people she encounters along the way. They are in need of quilters to help bring this vision to life. Connect here about joining the team.
 

Volunteer your time or financial support. Contact Rachelle’s team and find the ways that you can support her effort. Her media contact, Rachel Zargo, can be reached at rachelzargo@gmail.com. You can donate here.
 

Each step of her 754-mile journey is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit and our collective journey toward healing and understanding. Thanks for any part you can play.
