A Gathering of Communities:
Strategizing for a Healing-Centered City

A Gathering of Communities: Strategizing for a Healing-Centered City (GOC) is a Chicago-based and people-centered conference focused on the formation of community investment strategies throughout a day-long of organic and structured community-building activities, dialogues, workshops, cultural arts, and breaking bread amongst social justice and community-centered organizations, elected officials, and community members. Rooted in healing, community investment, and unity, this year’s conference seeks to develop, strengthen, and highlight cross-communal coalitions and strategies that address injustices while prioritizing physical and mental health. 

 

Join us!

As we build community, strategize, and collectively share healing practices with the goal of envisioning the future of Chicago through the lens of equity and wellness. Here's what to expect day of:
