Queer UP: Campaign Organizing 101 with UIC Pride and Young Invincibles

Please join the GSC and Troy Alim, Midwest Organizer at Young Invincibles, as we learn the basics of organizing a campaign and the basics of advocating for issue that matter to us.

Campaign Organizing 101 will provide tools on framing an important issue, developing and implementing a plan to address the issue, and identifying key targets.
