POLICY:

The Gun Violence Prevention Education Center (GPEC) and the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence (ICHV) are combining forces to be a preeminent leader in the fight to reduce death and injury caused by gun violence in Illinois through education, research, organizing and enforcement around public policy. We are preparing to maximize impact by organizing operations, identifying strengths, and strategically expanding the gun violence prevention (GVP) efforts already in progress.

Using proven digital and grassroots strategies, GPEC and ICHV will come together to build a powerful network that holds institutions accountable for passing and enforcing common sense gun policies.

 

ILGVP COALITION

GPEC/ICHV continues to staff, organize and mobilize the Illinois Gun Violence Prevention Coalition. Since 2015, the Illinois Gun Violence Prevention Coalition from a few member organizations to over 190 today. The coalition’s focus is engaging a wide range of organizations, from hospitals to churches to domestic violence policy organizations, to coordinate gun violence actions and policy. The coalition has scored many victories including passing Gun Dealer Certification, our work to pass the Fix the FOID law and statewide engagement with leaders on this issues. With your support, the coalition can continue to grow and augment our engagement around Illinois.

 

COMMUNICATIONS:

GPEC/ICHV has teamed up with worldwide creative firm FCB Chicago and engaged gun violence survivors and activists to create two large scale issue advocacy projects. The Gun Violence History Book is a literal history of gun violence that is so thick that we were able to shoot it with a bullet and the bullet stopped someplace in the middle. The book begs the question: if the history of gun violence can literally stop a bullet, why can’t our lawmakers pass laws that can stop this brutal history from repeating itself. The Most Dangerous Street project highlights the need for additional funding to the parts of Chicago that experience the most gun violence through community investment by using lasers and stories to create a narrative about Chicago’s gun violence problem. These projects have garnered thousands of views and motivated people across the state to email their legislator in support of better policy.

The Management Center

Overview
Headquarters: 
Washington D.C., DC, USA
Annual Budget : 
$10-50M
Size: 
11-50 employees
Founded: 
2006
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Mission: 

Our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results.

Programs: 

We want to see more social change in this country, and we know that producing it is hard. Disparities in money and power mean that social justice advocates need to fight not just as effectively as their opponents, but more effectively. That’s where The Management Center comes in: we help social justice leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations, so that they can get better results.

As the go-to resource on effective management for social change organizations, we’ve worked with more than 100 of the most influential progressive groups in the country and trained thousands of individual managers on the practices that help high-performing organizations deliver lasting results over time.

We offer both intensive hands-on coaching services for executive directors and their senior leadership teams, as well as a series of management training courses that supply practical advice and tools that managers can put to work immediately.

Since 2006, The Management Center has:

  • shaped the management practices of more than 10,000 individual leaders through our training program
  • helped more than 350 organizations get better results through stronger management
  • distributed more than 25,000 copies of our book Managing to Change the World
Why Work For Us?: 

5 Reasons to Work with The Management Center

1. By helping our clients, you’ll have an impact on the most important issues facing our country, like immigration, racial justice, health care, educational equity, and climate change.

2. Our clients are amazing people. You’ll work with leaders who go straight from talking with you to testifying on the Hill, leading a rally at the state capitol, or planning a new grassroots campaign with teams of organizers, and most days when you pick up the newspaper (or okay, read it online), you’ll see the results of their work.

3. Our team is awesome. You’ll be working with a group of smart, thoughtful, and genuinely nice people (at least we think we are!) who come from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds.

4. We’re committed to making our own organization one where people from all backgrounds – and in particular people with marginalized identities – thrive. While we have a lot of learning still to do, we’re working hard to incorporate equity and inclusion into all aspects of our work. That’s leading us to do things like proactively seeking to work with more groups led by and for people of color, supporting identity-based caucuses for our staff (we have people of color and indigenous people, LGBTQ, and white-identified allies caucuses), and making sure each person on our team continually hones their own cultural proficiency skills. More in the works here!

5. We try to practice what we preach: great management. You’ll have clear expectations, receive feedback (some of it even useful), get opportunities to grow and develop, and do it all in a culture that keeps the focus on real-world results and aspires to exhibit excellence with heart.

And a bonus reason… 6. We treat people well, from excellent salaries and benefits to flexible work arrangements to unusually good snacks.
