UNITED POWER

United Power is a non-partisan community organization composed of 40 religious congregations, not-for-profit groups, hospitals, health centers and civic organizations from across Cook County. Our volunteer leaders are our backbone; they are concerned citizens who consult with neighbors, shape goals and strategy to address pressing social problems and pressure people in power to seek positive, creative solutions... In an increasingly polarized world, people and organizations resist talking to each other-much less building shared relationships. United Power's mission is to train people to take responsibility for solving the problems in their own communities and to renew the interest of citizens in public life. Our strength comes from our determination and our united front... At United Power, we use dialogue and relationship building to cultivate shared power. It's not easy, but we do it together.
