Join us for this special political education and organizing workshop -

Learn to get green things done by engaging city officials as allies. We'll discuss what works to get attention and support from aldermen, ward staff, and city departments for green projects and local food.

Our panelists will share real stories of approaches that work and offer inside tips for succeeding with local government. This three-hour workshop will provide tools, insights, and guidance - and a chance to converse with policy makers about ways we can help them to help us, help each other.

Panel Members include:

Alderman Manny Flores, 1st ward
Alderman Toni Foulkes, 15th ward
Jay Rowell, Office of the City Clerk

Facilitated by:
