Northside Chicago Events

FairVote Illinois will be tabling at Epiphany Center for the Arts to talk to people about ranked choice voting and find new supporters to join the cause. The more people who learn about RCV, the faster we'll grow the movement.

From the event organizers: On Saturday, December 5, 2026, at Epiphany Center for the Arts, the Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus will bring Black gay, bisexual, and same-gender-loving men together for a day of love, celebration, and community care. Through brunch, entertainment, and our signature Health Village, LoveFest connects attendees with HIV/STI testing, linkage to care, affirming resources, and one another.

In honor of World AIDS Day, this year’s LoveFest will also celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kevin’s Room, a Black queer classic that showed us the beauty and complexity of Black gay love. Decades later, its conversations about HIV stigma, sex positivity, barriers to care, relationships, and sexuality still speak to our lives. We’re inviting the series’ cast and crew back to LoveFest to revisit those stories with us—and explore what they can teach us about navigating love, health, and community today.

Don't have any experience canvassing/tabling? That's OK! No experience is required. Look for our table with the purple FairVote Illinois banner; we can give you a brief training when you arrive! Our table captain will have supplies like signup sheets, sample ballots, and clipboards.
