Engaging in meaningful action and discussion for positive social change in our community.

Skokie United was started in January 2016. After months of discussions about implement something for our community, we came together and started our movement. We started with Unity Coffees. These events where created to meet members of the community and have discussions about living, working, worshiping, and playing in Skokie.

Skokie United is dedicated to being socially engaged with our community to build diverse, equitable, and inclusive, antiracist neighborhoods through dialogue, events, and relationships.
