Chicago United for Equity is a 9-month civic activation program for individuals across government, organizing, media, business, union, and non-profit organizations. Fellows commit to attending a full-day training every month for nine months, typically the first Friday from October to June. CUE is a space for reflecting, recharging, and amplifying impact. Fellows gain tools, strategies, and examples from national case studies, and then create opportunities to practice, reflect, and grow for the future. CUE’s curriculum includes Racial Equity Frameworks, Policy Tools, Civic Change Strategies and Community-based Opportunities. Fellows will also complete a community-based project to build public accountability for racial equity.
