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 started on the first Saturday of March as people from across the city of Chicago and suburbs gathered on the West side in the Austin community for a morning of teaching, sharing, conversations, and connection.
