Chance the Rapper Holding Press Conference at Chicago Elementary School Today

Chance the Rapper has announced that he is holding a press conference this afternoon at 2 p.m. Central time at Wescott Elementary School, located at 409 W. 80th St. in Chicago. It will live stream on Chance’s Instagram. (Update: It’s also on Periscope. Watch below.) According to a press release, at the event, Chance “will make a major announcement about his efforts to support Chicago Public Schools.” Last week, he met with Illinois governor Bruce Rauner to talk about the city’s public school system. Following the meeting, Chance told press that he felt “a little bit flustered, just a little bit frustrated.” He later tweeted, “Chicago Public Schools and I did not lose today. Please don’t let that become the narrative. Monday morning I’ll have a plan.”
