For over two decades, CIOGC has served as the unifying force that brings together over 400,000 Muslim Americans in the greater Chicago region, and now increasingly all of Illinois.
Upcoming Events
The Council is securing positions for Muslim high school seniors and some juniors to serve as a Page during our April 11th Muslim Action Day. This is an extraordinary opportunity for our youth and will make a most impressive addition to their high school transcripts.
I learned a lot about how unity and coherence is key to getting things done, especially in a political setting. I really enjoyed the experience because it opened my eyes to issues I never knew about and have overlooked my entire life.
Overall very interesting
I gained a stronger feeling for politics.
I feel that I gained more confidence when it comes to talking to different individuals. I also feel that I can go beyond the limits of my school and really do something that will benefit me and the community
Urgent Appeal
Dear President Trump,
We ask you to exercise your power and influence as the leader of our country to end the bombing in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta. Since November 2017, more than 400,000 people have been suffering under the Syrian government’s assault.
They have been enduring hunger, malnutrition, and lack of medical care. Since the end of January, they have experienced escalated bombardment of their homes, hospitals and markets. In the past few weeks, more than 540 civilians have been killed.
We ask you to demand that Mr. Putin and Mr. Assad end this tragedy. We call upon you to insist that the Syrian government immediately ends all attacks on civilians and civilian structures, and allow humanitarian aid into Eastern Ghouta.
*Your Signature*
