Chicago Area Peace Action's Student Network is planning the second annual Peace Summit! This year's theme is Organizing Towards Peace, Justice, and Conflict Resolution.
After a year that has reshaped so many of our ways of thinking and being, as we exit the Trump era and fend off complacency under a Biden administration, the need for a more organized and more connected peace and justice movement is greater than ever. New skills are required in this virtual era, and we see the many activists and organizers, old and new, in need of an outlet to stay engaged after a tumultuous year.
This year's Peace Summit will focus on forging and strengthening relationships, developing our collective skills, and expanding our knowledge base. We plan to have speakers and workshops on antiracism in organizing work, the history of US imperialism, training on nonviolent communication and how to lobby legislators, and much more. In order to ensure this Summit is both equitable and accessible to all activists, we will not be charging a ticket price.
We need your financial support to help bring the best presenters, free of charge, to Chicago area peace activists attending this 2021 Peace Summit. Become a Sponsor to help make this vision a reality!
