Building Blocks of Peace is a 3-month training course (Mar, Apr, May) + 3-month mobilization effort (Jun, Jul, Aug) that helps individuals connect with others in their community to get organized, become more equipped, and deploy local faith-rooted mobilization in places of need. This annual series continued on the first Saturday of April as people from across the city of Chicago and suburbs gathered on the North side in the North Park community for a morning of teaching, sharing, conversations, and connection.
