About this Event
Come hang out with the Chicago Organizer Learning Circle (ChiOLC) for our first monthly Social Circle: a low-pressure space to meet other organizers, volunteers, neighbors, educators, mutual aid folks, and community members from across Chicago.
This is not a formal workshop or networking event. The goal is simple:
build relationships, share experiences, and create space for people doing community work to connect outside of crisis mode.
Bring a snack, blanket, coffee, card game, or just yourself.
Whether you’ve been organizing for years or are simply curious about getting more involved in your neighborhood, you’re welcome here.

About ChiOLC
The Chicago Organizer Learning Circle is a grassroots peer-learning space for people involved in organizing, mutual aid, advocacy, community defense, labor, neighborhood solidarity work, and movement-building across Chicago.
We believe organizing knowledge should be shared, practical, and accessible, not gatekept.
