AI Summary
This resolution congratulates United Congregations of Metro-East (UCM), a multicultural faith-based organization in southwestern Illinois, on its 25th anniversary of community service and social justice advocacy. Founded in 2000 with just six church members, UCM has grown into a diverse organization that champions justice, equity, and community empowerment across multiple domains. The organization has made significant contributions including supporting landmark legislation like the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, advocating for criminal justice reforms such as eliminating cash bail, conducting environmental justice research with the EPA, and supporting educational and economic development initiatives. UCM has been recognized for its work, including receiving the Outstanding Local Government Achievement Award for its air quality education project, and has been instrumental in establishing the first charter school in Madison County, partnering with the Sierra Club to promote sustainability, and raising funds for drug treatment centers.
