National March in Marquette Park

Marquette Park - Marquette Park, Chicago, IL, USA
Sat, Aug 01 9:00am to 1:00pm CDT

Join the Chicago March
In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Chicago Freedom Movement marched into Marquette Park to confront entrenched segregation, redlining, and organized racial violence. Sixty years later, communities across the country face renewed attacks on voting rights and access to the ballot, expanding systems of criminalization and detention, and deepening economic inequality.

This national gathering connects the unfinished work of 1966 to the defining moral challenges of this moment. Faith leaders, civic leaders, organizers, artists, young people, and communities from across the country will march for free and fair elections, freedom for immigrant and marginalized communities, and a future rooted in dignity, justice, and shared humanity.

Led locally by IMAN in partnership with 60+ community-rooted organizations, and nationally by Powered By Faith, this mobilization is a call to action grounded in moral clarity, cultural power, and collective resolve.

Join us on August 1 in Chicago as we carry the legacy of the Chicago Freedom Movement, continue its unfinished work, and rise together for the fierce urgency of now.
