Midterm elections are not “small” elections — they shape our schools, healthcare, criminal justice policies, economic opportunities, voting rights, and the future of our communities. Every ballot cast is a voice for equity, representation, and progress.

The African American community has always turned pain into power and advocacy into action. Our ancestors marched, organized, sacrificed, and fought for the right to vote. We honor that legacy every time we show up at the polls informed, engaged, and ready to make an impact.

This is our moment to mobilize. Check your registration. Make a plan. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Our voices matter. Our votes matter. Our future depends on it.

The Divine Nine is answering the call to serve.

Join the NPHC Virtual Blood Drive in support of Sickle Cell Awareness as we work toward a goal of 300 pints of blood to help save lives and strengthen our communities.

Because Sickle Cell disproportionately impacts the African American community, this mission is personal. We’re calling on all councils, their family, and friends to “Give Back by Giving Blood” by donating at your local blood center during the week of June 19 — Shine the Light on Sickle Cell Day.

Together, our service can make a lifesaving impact.

We are calling on all council leadership teams to make a conscious effort to patronize Black‑owned businesses—large or small, online or local.

Every purchase is a statement of support and a step toward economic equity. Council Type = “Alumni”, Council Name = “NPHC of Chicago (IL)

Please share this message with your chapter members and encourage full participation. Don’t forget to document each engagement using the Patronage Tracker Form. Completing the tracker ensures we can celebrate our efforts, spotlight businesses, and continue building a culture of intentional support.

☀️ What a beautiful morning of fellowship, faith, and Divine Nine unity. Today, the NPHC of Chicago gathered at Grace Missionary Baptist Church for our Ecumenical Service — lifting our voices together, celebrating our shared commitment to service, and showing up proudly in our organization colors.

We extend heartfelt gratitude to Bishop Dr. Edward Jones IV (ΦΒΣ) & First Lady LaTonya Jones (ZΦΒ) for hosting us and delivering a powerful word, and to every council member, chapter, and guest who joined us in worship.

Thank you to everyone who brought non‑perishable food items to support the church’s food pantry. Service is who we are — and today we lived that out together by donating $1000 to the food pantry.

💸 Prefer to give monetarily?

✍🏽 Please include your org/chapter in the memo.

Special appreciation to President Reginald Summerise (ΩΨΦ) and Chaplain Tena Sanders (ΔΣΘ) for their leadership in making this service meaningful for all.
