Chance the Rapper is working to inspire change.
Following his free concert at Grant Park in Chicago to spur voter turnout on Monday night, the jovial 23-year-old rapper personally escorted a parade of hundreds (thousands?) of fans to early voting sites.
Chance led the large crowd of young voters through the city to an early voting site where he cast his own ballot and encouraged others to do the same, according to CBS Chicago.
