Make a difference in Chicago with GiveAShi*t, a bold initiative supporting StreetWise and its hardworking vendors. We've teamed up with local artists and musicians to create limited-edition, hand-screened T-shirts that turn style into impact. Every T-shirt sold fuels the StreetWise mission, with 100% of profits going directly to Streetwise and its vendors, empowering them to thrive. Over the last 9 years, thanks to passionate supporters like you, we’ve raised more than $600,000 to build brighter futures. When you purchase, you empower lives.

"About season two of the 'Where I Stay' podcast"

In Season Two of the Shorty Award finalist documentary series Where I Stay, Rivet 360 + StreetWise delve deep into the heart of Chicago’s housing crisis. As winter’s chill grips the city, thousands are forced to seek shelter wherever they can—many in makeshift communities known as “tent cities.” This season, we explore the roots of these camps, the policies that have left so many without a home, and the challenges of a city grappling with an influx of migrants and a critical lack of affordable housing. Through the eyes of StreetWise vendors, who have lived the reality of homelessness, and our team of dedicated reporters, we uncover the untold stories of Chicago’s forgotten residents. Our goal is to challenge perceptions, spark conversations, and, most importantly, inspire change. Join us as we navigate the complex web of segregation, public policy, and community resilience. Together, we’ll ask: What do we owe each other?
