We’re lucky to have the Center for Better Aging with us. Their work is built on a simple truth worth sharing: the voices we’re quickest to overlook are often the ones most worth hearing. For more than 40 years, CAN TV has been giving those voices a microphone — and we’ll be celebrating that together on November 12.

Look around the room on November 12 and you'll find the truest cross-section of Chicago you're likely to see all year — the block-club presidents and the first-time filmmakers, the lifers and the newcomers, the loud and the quietly determined. It's the crowd CAN TV has drawn for over forty years, and it's worth getting dressed up for.

In 1983, Chicago got a channel of its own — one where the guest list wasn't decided by ratings or advertisers, but by whoever had something to say. More than forty years later, CAN TV is still that channel, and the city is still talking. On November 12, we're gathering at The Geraghty to raise a glass to all of it. Amplifying every voice, telling every story — save the date.

What inspires someone to give the gift of life?
This week, hosts Monica Fox and Sara Jane Charles sit down with renal transplant coordinator Anita Pakrasi and living kidney donor Dan O'Connell for an inside look at the living donation process—and the powerful moment that moves someone to become a donor.
