Working in collaboration with the Better Government Association, the Board of Elections and the University of Illinois in Chicago, ONE is bringing a new level of civic skills to the north side of Chicago with our Summer Training Series. See the documents attached below for registration information!

The trainings will take place on July 20, 21, 27 and August 3. The topics are as follows:

Citizen Watchdog Trainings with the Better Government Association
7pm on July 20 and 27 at Loyola University
Citizen Watchdog Training teaches you how to keep an eye on government. Veteran investigative journalists, professors and legal professionals share their watchdog tricks of the trade. You’ll learn about the structure of government, basic journalism skills, and the ins-and-outs of the Freedom of Information Act. Plus, you’ll hear from whistle-blowers who exposed corruption and demanded change. We’ll work with you to investigate government waste and corruption, and we’ll show you how to advocate for reform.
