Event Description: Chicago Area Peace Action's Student Network is dedicating their yearly Peace Summit to Organizing Towards Peace, Justice, and Conflict Resolution. Activists, organizers, and community members of all backgrounds and experience levels are invited to join and grow together to strengthen our movements. The movement for peace and justice has a lot of work to do. From reclaiming financial resources from the Pentagon, preventing war with Iran, combatting the existential threats of both climate change and nuclear weapons, the need for a more organized and more connected peace and justice movement is urgent. Join us to forge and strengthen relationships, increase the skills in your toolbox for change, and find inspiration to continue this important work.
