We are an interfaith solidarity organization that relies on Muslim leadership in the form of our Muslim Leadership Council which directs our priorities and involvement.

CITC recognizes that the issues of antisemitism and Islamophobia are intrinsically linked. We are committed to combating antisemitism in all its forms. However, other organizations are better equipped to deal specifically with antisemitism; we hope to partner with them in the future.

We are just getting off the ground now! Chicagoland-based clergy, lay leaders, and faith communities are welcome to join CITC, regardless of their religious tradition.

We are committed to a rapid response to Islamophobic events locally in Chicagoland and nationally, as it affects our local communities as well as interfaith dialogue and educational experiences aimed at greater connection with the Muslim community and decreasing Islamophobia in our communities of faith locally.

Sign up on the website and schedule a zoom meeting with the co-founders, Rev. Dr. Michael Woolf and Rev. Dr. Anna Piela. In the coming months, we will launch a newsletter to keep us all connected.

We encourage open and respectful dialogue as a way to address conflicts or misunderstandings. Our approach focuses on finding common ground, promoting empathy, and creating a safe space for individuals to express their views without fear of judgment.

No, membership is free.

Absolutely! We welcome partnerships with religious and community groups that share our commitment to fostering understanding, peace, and unity.
