The Chicago Partnership, the AND Campaign | Chicago, and Progressive Baptist Church are grateful for the opportunity to host the 2023 Chicago Faith & Politics Forum with several of Chicago's leading mayoral candidates on February 19th, 4-6 pm, at Progressive Baptist Church (3658 S Wentworth Ave).

This Forum has invited incumbent Mayor Lori Lightfoot, US Representative Chuy Garcia, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, Dr. Willie Wilson, and Brandon Johnson for a moderated conversation on the impact of faith in their own lives, and how, if elected, they intend to work with the faith community to address the issues of our time. The co-moderators of the forum will be Pastor Charlie Dates of Salem Baptist Church and Progressive Baptist Church, and David Morrero of New Life Covenant Church.
