Who goes missing in Chicago? And what happens next to help families find their loved ones? Missing person cases have drawn both local and national attention to how police handle these cases. This August, City Bureau and the Invisible Institute will publish an investigative story about how Chicago police handle missing person cases and the impact on families.

Reporters Trina Reynolds-Tyler, Invisible Institute, and Sarah Conway, City Bureau, found that Black people have made up two-thirds of all missing person cases reported to the Chicago Police Department over the last 20 years. 57% of these cases are for Black children under the age of 21.

Join City Bureau and the Invisible Institute to learn more about the prevalence of missing Black teens and short and long-term solutions for this systemic problem, including resources, prevention, and the decriminalization of survival work.
