Chicago Stakeholder Toolkit
What Are You Looking To Share?
YOU Are The Secret Sauce.
You’re a storyteller. You’re an advocate. You’re passionate about what we do and why we do it.
That’s why we’ve curated this toolkit – for you to find and share the resources you need when you run into that friend, family member, or colleague who might be the perfect fit for collaboration or meaningful support.
You – our community – are the power behind this movement. Dive into the links below, and give Amanda a shout if you think something’s missing (amanda@guitarsoverguns.org). We’re here, we’re grateful, and we’re ready to rock n’ roll.
