The IRS said Wednesday it is delaying the April 15 tax filing deadline to May 17 giving taxpayers more time to prepare their filings amid the slew of pandemic-related tax changes.

The Treasury Department and the IRS said “the federal income tax filing due date for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021.“

Redistricting Hearing Schedule. You must click on the date to see if it’s a virtual or in-person meeting date.
I tried to get a little more information on how this affects us. I
think redistricting affect how many State Representative we have per district depending on Census. What Is the Job of a State Representative: Duties

State representatives introduce and vote on bills that represent the interests of their constituents (people who live in their voting district). They create new laws, modify or update old laws and serve on research committees within the legislative branch. These representatives uphold the state’s Constitution and vote on changes to the Constitution when amendments are needed. They may address issues such as education, transportation, commerce, state taxes, and any other items that are a concern to local residents. Representatives may also assist constituents with personal legal issues such as immigration or justice problems.https://work.chron.com/job-state-rep-7593.html

April 1     Street Cleaning 

STREET SWEEPER

Chicago street sweeping season begins Thursday

Warmer weather and budding trees are signs of spring — and they’re also signs of the street sweeping season. CHICAGO — Warmer weather and budding trees are signs of spring – and they’re also signs of the street sweeping season. Street sweepers will hit Chicago roads Thursday, April 1, working daily to clear debris across the city until mid-November.
But unlike last year, when the pandemic lockdown delayed street sweeping until May, operations at the Department of Streets and Sanitation should remain unaffected.”We’re going back to a normal (street sweeping) season,” department spokeswoman Cristina Villarreal said.
Residents should check for temporary orange no-parking notices to avoid towing on street sweeping days.
Ward schedules and a real-time street sweeper tracker can be found online.”We take pride in maintaining the cleanliness of our streets,” DSS Commissioner John Tully said in a statement. “We ask residents to help us keep Chicago clean by following parking restrictions related to street sweeping.”

A year ago, as the pandemic locked down the city, Chicago paused several services including street sweeping. At the time, Tully said it was nearly impossible to continue street sweeping with people locked inside and the city temporarily suspending ticking and towing.The pause in sweeping lasted until May, even though Chicago’s no-towing order continued until July.

What do humans and monarch butterflies have in common?
The Guardians takes us through a journey of an indigenous community in México. In this documentary, the people of Donaciano Ojeda in Michoacán, México confront internal divisions and illegal loggers in order to recover the forest in their ancestral lands that have been nearly destroyed. Like the millions of monarchs that also call this forest home, their survival depends on it.
Join us as we highlight the need for monarch habitat conservation and our collective responsibility to carve out a sustainable future for monarchs and migrants.

SkyART

3026 East 91st Street

Chicago, IL 60617

Also volunteers will be provided gloves, bags and gardening necessities. Social distancing and the mask mandate will be adhered to. Forecast is 59 degrees and sunshine!

About: SkyART provides a broad range of free visual art programming to young people through our Studio, School, and Community Programs. Our defining innovative approach, the SkyWAY, is a shift in perspective that blurs the lines of formal art education and centers on art-making as an inherently educational experience. Through the lens of art, SkyART focuses on creative youth development, constantly striving to make programs more relevant and more dynamic. You will not find its studio walls filled with identically constructed projects; you’ll find vibrant collaborative canvases, 12 feet wide, and full of color. You will not see “art students” following the directions of an “art teacher”; you’ll find an animated community of makers, working together to identify relevant pathways for each participant to follow, refining the group’s trajectory as they go to include all individual contributions to a shared collective vision

As a complement to the SkyART Studio Programs, the Family Table program reflects one of SkyART’s core values, Totality, a commitment we made to nourish the whole child. This Program includes providing our participants with home-cooked meals, teaching them how to make nutritious snacks in our Kitchen Studio, and showing them how to sow seeds and harvest organic food from our four-city lots Artist’s Garden.

Virtual Lobby Day on April 26

Info Shared by Pastor Scott Onque: Join us for a Virtual Lobby Day on April 26. Once you register, you’ll be added to a lobby team, and your team guide will reach out closer to the event with your meeting time.
Illinois legislators are getting back to work so it’s time for Illinoisans to make their voices heard. This year we’ll be lobbying not only for the Clean Energy Jobs Act– which would be the nation’s most progressive energy policy– but for Lead Service Line Replacement and Environmental Justice in Permitting as well.

TRHT Solidarity Circle Series

Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) is providing opportunities for Participants who have completed at least THREE previous Racial Healing Circles to continue the healing process.

Solidarity circles are an opportunity to create and build trust between participants and communities that will often serve as the foundation for other work related to racial equity and healing – e.g., changing inequitable and systemic laws and policies. Each circle consists of both group interactions and smaller, more intimate conversations between two partners. The circles are led by two TRHT trained racial healing practitioners.

Schedule

Tuesdays 11:00AM-1:00PM: April 27 and May 4

Wednesdays 6:00PM-8:00PM: April 28 and May 5

Saturdays 10:00AM-NOON: May 1 and May 8
