Honest Conversations About the Issues Shaping Chicago
Our Power, Our Voice is Marillac Saint Vincent’s
recurring community conversation series, rooted in three commitments: Agency. Advocacy. Action. Each gathering focuses on a real issue affecting Chicago families, neighborhoods, and communities.
Held throughout the year,
OPOV brings together community members, advocates, leaders, and people with lived experience for honest conversations. These conversations elevate community voices, build connection across differences, and move ideas toward action. Each conversation stands on its own, and together they build a stronger shared understanding of what our communities need and are ready to create.
