NWSOFA Partner Event – ICIRR 2017 Summit to Make The Road to a Welcoming Illinois!

March 4, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

On Jan 14th, 1200 of us gathered to lay out the Platform for Resistance, Unity and Respect. Community leaders like you committed to a vision to keep our cities, counties, states and nation welcoming to everyone. Since then, thousands took to the streets to oppose President Trump’s Islamaphobic Executive Order which had banned refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries.  As a result of this public pressure, the courts deemed the order unconstitutional. When we organize, we win!
On January 14th, we committed to resist. On March 4th, we will  fight hard to demand that our welcoming vision for our our communities becomes real.  ICIRR member organizations and their grassroots leaders are  are coming together, and we’ve invited our local, county, state and federal elected officials to respond to the demands of all our communities! We need to come out big that morning to show that we mean business.

  • Clear action steps to take immediately to advance our collective vision of justice!
  • Accountability sessions with our elected officials!
  • Public education workshops on how you can best advocate and organize to protect immigrant and refugee communities while planning together to make our cities and Illinois a welcoming state
