Saturday, February 28 from 10am-4pm
Interfaith collaboration brings together communities across religious, spiritual and secular identities to work for the common good. How can interfaith collaboration be sustained in the face of religious extremism? What are the opportunities for mobilizing religious, spiritual and secular communities through interfaith organizing to promote democracy and love?
Please join us for this year’s Illinois Interfaith Conference on February 28, 2026 with keynote speakers Dr. Rami Nashashibi, co-founder and executive director of the Inner-City Muslim Action Network, and Rev. Ciera Bates-Chamberlain, founder and executive director of Live Free Illinois. Keynote speakers from Chicago’s Faith Over Fear network will discuss their multi-faith, spiritually rooted organizing that centers dignity, healing, and justice, and how interfaith communities can organize together for democracy.
The Illinois Interfaith Conference is a FREE opportunity for University of Illinois students and campus allies – as well as student leaders and professionals from across the Midwest – to join together to engage in critical questions about interfaith engagement on the college campus. All people of religious and non-religious philosophical traditions are welcome!
The Illinois Interfaith Conference is a program of the Illinois Interfaith Planning Committee and co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Access, Civil Rights & Community, the University YMCA, the Department of Religion, Diversity & Social Justice Education, Interfaith Alliance of Champaign County, Religious Workers Association, Interfaith in Action, the Muslim Student Association, and the UIUC Black Muslim Association.
