LIVE FREE CHICAGO congregations embrace the notion of their institutional body as a base for building moral power and a movement for racial and economic justice. Congregations engage in community intervention and awareness strategies. Specific tactics include:

• Hosting Sabbath events where clergy and congregations preach, pray, and fast in ways that connect their faith tradition to the pressing social issues of the day.

• Hosting community events (e.g., panels, candidate forums, trainings, phone banking, etc.)

• Participating in local actions and mobilizing efforts (lending a moral voice to public events and rallies, participating in meetings with public officials, joining and initiating boycotts and divestment actions).

• Leading and participating in non-violent civil disobedience and protest

• Community Response Chaplains

• Night Walks

• Peace Pop Ups
