Part of a collaboration between The Guild Complex and Rebuild Foundation presented along with, and in response to, Rebuild Foundation’s Objects of Care: Material Memorial for Tamir Rice on the Arts Bank lawn, this exhibit builds on the 2016 anthology of African American political art and poetry, Of Poetry and Protest: From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin (WW Norton), to capture the transformative power that fuels social movements and sustains families and communities confronting state violence against black and brown youth.
Curated by Of Poetry and Protest Co-Editor/Guild Founding Director Michael Warr together with The Guild and Rebuild, the exhibit presents words and images featured in the book – portraits, poems, documentation, and creative response — alongside Present Absence, a five-channel video installation by Chicago artists Salome Chasnoff + Meredith Zielke that makes visible the lives of individuals killed by Chicago Police through intimate one-on-one interviews with their families and close friends.

Open Sessions with BraveSoul Movement Thursday at 6 PM – 9 PM 1456 East 70th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637
Public · Hosted by BRAVEMONK“Hip-Hop is a universal and global force. It’s actually America’s largest cultural export. Hip-Hop and street dance are an enormous economy all over the world right now with huge professional competition circuits like Juste Debout and Red Bull BC One, and performance platforms like Breakin’ Convetion in the UK. It’s even taken over the airwaves with shows like World of Dance, and it was just announced that breaking is going to be in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. While breaking and these other street dance forms have universal appeal, they all grew out of African American culture, and in particular were invented by African Diasporic youth in urban environments. The goal in partnering with Rebuild is to provide opportunities for Black youth in the surrounding communities to see and understand the inherent value in their cultural productions, to build not only self-worth, but to also see how that can translate into something tangible economically. And it’s also about getting others connected to and invested in the communities where these forms were birthed and continue to develop out of. As Black folks, we dance, that’s what we do. And it’s fun and social but we don’t necessarily see it as a pathway to sustain ourselves and our communities. So what we are doing is planting seeds that have the power to grow into whatever we can imagine for our lives and communities.” — Daniel “BRAVEMONK” Haywood (Phaze II/BraveSoul Movement)

Info Shared by Tom Shepherd: RESTORING PULLMAN’S TREE CANOPY
The deadline is fast approaching to request a tree to be planted in the parkway in front of your Pullman home.
Please contact us asap to be included for the autumn planting.
The Pullman community has once again applied for a grant from Openlands for a fall planting of trees that they will furnish and help to put in the ground. All trees will be planted on public property in the parkways in front of homes.
We are still trying to replace trees that had been taken down due to disease, age, or infestation. If we didn’t get to you last year, now is the time to notify us.
If you would like to have a tree planted in front of your home, please contact Susan James at 773-980-8536 or Tom Shepherd 773-370-3305. Also, if you’d like to join in the fun and good deed of volunteering in the planting, let us know. It would be especially nice if parents brought their kids to the planting event (date to be determined), to give them the experience of planting and later watching as the trees grow from year to year.
Homeowners must give permission for the planting and pledge to water during times of drought

Presented by Noah A. Frank, Labor & Employment Attorney in SmithAmundsen’s Chicago Office
Are you just starting out and need to know what to put in an employee handout? Or are you like most employers, and already have an employee handbook, but you haven’t updated it in a while, and are no longer sure that it complies with current laws? Will your handbook stand up to increased scrutiny by the DOL, EEOC, OSHA, or NLRB? Will your handbook get you into trouble in your next employee lawsuit? Employment laws and regulations are ever-changing which means every few years (or more frequently!), you need to dust off that handbook and give it a proper evaluation. This workshop will discuss the purpose of an employee handbook; wage/hour compliance; safety standards; new EEO reporting and complaint procedure language; surviving DOL, OSHA, NLRB and EEOC scrutiny; what should be included (and excluded) in an employee handbook; privacy, workplace searches and drug testing policies; preserving the at-will employment relationship; ineffective language to avoid; what to do when there is a union workforce; and other common employee handbook mistakes.
