Solidarity Summit: A People’s Agenda

You are invited to the Solidarity Summit: A People’s Agenda, a Chicago-area in-person gathering. The current national government’s cruel policies make the struggle for human rights all the more urgent and far more difficult. Only by acting together in solidarity will the people prevail over oppression and make justice a reality.

Politicians scapegoat people to unjustly cast blame on those who they have chosen to otherize and oppress. These attacks focus the public’s attention on an invented “other,” distracting us from the collective struggle for justice to be fought against the ruling class and oligarchs.

Do you want to see a multi-racial and multi-cultural society of people living with all of our human needs fulfilled and each of our human rights and dignity intact? Do you want to fight the forces of reaction? If so, please join us at this event.

This cross-community gathering will be a train-the-trainer session focused on disrupting the use of immigration as a wedge to divide communities.

We ask participants to be willing to put this toolbox to use by:

• Hosting conversations in your faith institutions, block clubs, unions, and other civic organizations.
• Using the provided tools and materials for engaging people in healthy conversations about supporting immigrants and long-term residents of our communities alike, developing a stronger sense of solidarity in action for demanding human rights for all.

While this event is free to attend, we are accepting optional donations at checkout to offset the costs of the summit.
