Presented by Chicago Action Alliance

As people across the city unite to march together in solidarity and to protest the many injustices we face, many taking to the streets for the first time, Chicago Action Alliance sits down with veteran organizers to discuss the best ways to be effective, inclusive, and safe while engaging in direct actions. The speakers will discuss these issues and more as a panel and will answer audience questions in an open Q&A.

Panel Speakers:
Angelica Magana, Rise and Organize
Mrinalini Chakraborty, Women’s March - Illinois
Carolyn Ruff, Black Lives Matter Women of Faith
Lashawn Littrice, Black Lives Matter Women of Faith
John Beacham, ANSWER Chicago

Third Unitarian Church is a small, diverse, welcoming congregation in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. The congregation is a blend of humanists, theists, agnostics and atheists. The Unitarian Universalist principles center around respect for all people and the planet, free inquiry, and a commitment to social justice. Carley Mostar will kick off the event with an introduction to the church, its mission and its work in the community. 

The church is a very short walk from the Austin Green Line stop, and free street parking is available.
