Participants found the presentation engaging, helpful, and relevant as President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders have sparked not only condemnation but increased civic engagement from the Chicago Muslim community. “Bringing in real examples of successful action was very helpful,” said one attendee.
CIOGC’s Community Organizing Training is aimed to help community members develop the necessary skills to become effective civic engagement leaders in their communities. The training is required for Senate Page Program participants who will take part in Illinois Muslim Action Day (IMAD), in which the Chicagoland Muslim community and partners will take a legislative agenda to Springfield on April 27.
