“It is in your hands, to make a better world for all who live in it.” Nelson Mandela cemented a legacy of resilience, justice, and compassion through his activism. In the face of oppression and racism he showed resistance and became a symbol of freedom. Despite facing imprisonment and persecution for his advocacy, his efforts and influence did not lose momentum and remained grounded in liberating South Africa from the harmful effects of colonialism and apartheid. As we navigate these tumultuous times, we honor and continue his profound contributions to the fight for equality and human rights. #activism #antiracism #chibydesign #codesign #HumanRights #Legacy #NelsonMandela #SocialImpact

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at our collaboration with Illinois Action for Children (IAFC). IAFC partnered with ChiByDesign to employ a co-design approach to strengthen the connection between incarcerated parents and their children. Here you see Justin (facilitator), lived experts and other stakeholders working together to create their prototype centered around the concept for guaranteed resources for children and caregivers. Co-designers chose to address the economic barriers families face after the incarceration of a parent. They determined that a policy should provide guaranteed financial resources to families impacted by incarceration and the caregivers responsible for the children without restriction. #antiracism #chibydesign #codesign #equality #equity #traumaresponsivedesign
