CREATING COMMUNITY DIALOGUES ON CIVIC ISSUES

1/5

ABOUT LET'S TALK ILLINOIS!

Our Function is Unique In The Landscape of Community Engagement.


We facilitate diverse groups of people by creating spaces where they can feel comfortable in being able to dialogue on difficult topics and learn to actively address civic issues effectively, and over the long term, in their communities.  Our work has helped communities, such as Aurora, Elgin and their surrounding communities in Illinois IL to be able to move from dialogue into action, and through action, be able to create lasting and sustainable positive change.


What We Believe

 We Believe That The Path to Equitable and Sustainable Change Can Happen:


By creating opportunities for people, institutions, and government to work together for the common civic good of all of our citizens and our communities.


By involving and including diverse groups of people so that they may have opportunities to speak honestly and listen to each other.


By empowering our citizens and our communities to make decisions and policies that reflect everyone’s voice, particularly those who have been marginalized or excluded.


By sharing the collective knowledge, resources, and power of our citizens.


By recognizing how structural and institution systems have shaped our nation and our communities.


By using an understanding of equity to create equitable opportunities and outcomes for all.


By connecting local change to larger national movements in order to strengthen our democracy.

About Our Groups

We Enable Community Member To Become Changemakers

In Person Groups

These are small groups of 8-10 people who meet in a designated public location. In person groups provide a level of personal and direct access to others and fosters levels of understanding that may not exist in many areas of our personal or professional lives.

Virtual Groups

If you have time constrains that make meeting virtually a lot more easy to participate, you might consider participating in a dialogue group through Zoom!  Also, meeting virtually allows us include who are physically unable to participate in the in person groups setting.
