Chicago Urban League to Provide $100,000 in Emergency Grants and Technical Assistance to Black Small Business Owners Through Ford Initiative
In partnership with Ford Motor Company Fund, the philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company, the Chicago Urban League is launching the Emergency Capital Access Program (ECAP) to provide small grants, technical assistance, and advisory services to Black-owned small businesses that have been negatively affected by COVID-19. The League’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation will deliver the program and expects to provide grants up to $5,000 to about 20 businesses.
The program is part of the League’s COVID-19 Community Help Center, launched in April. Business owners will be able to apply for the program through the Help Center website beginning August 17.
Ford created ECAP as a pilot program with the National Urban League to offer crucial economic support to businesses that provide a stabilizing influence for communities hard hit by the pandemic.

From the start of this pandemic, every decision we’ve made has been guided by the data and advice from our public health experts. Today, we’re announcing that Chicago Public Schools will begin the school year with remote learning for Quarter 1. cps.edu/reopening2020‬

CPS parents, guardians have until Aug. 7 to decide between hybrid or at-home learning

By ABC 7 Chicago Digital Team

CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago Public School officials sent a letter to parents asking them to decide by Aug. 7 about whether or not they plan to have their student participate in the proposed hybrid learning model or the learn-at-home model.

RELATED: Chicago Public Schools discuss reopening plan at virtual town hall Monday

“We know that some of our families would prefer not to have their child attend school in-person in the fall, and the district is preparing an option for students to learn at home,” school officials said in the letter. “The parent/guardian of record should have received a text and an email from the district asking about your learning preferences for your child. Please complete the short form that came with that text or email to let us know how your child will be learning in the fall.”

If parents chose the at-home model, but change their mind after August 7, they will be able to change their preference at the beginning of the second quarter, officials said.

Parents will be able to switch their students to the at-home model at any time.

Illinois Humanities  Grants Info 

Grants

Through funding from the Federal CARES Act, and with additional support from donations raised during our Public Humanities Award program in May, we have issued almost 200 Illinois Humanities Emergency Relief Grants, totaling more than $700,000. As you can imagine, it has meant having our entire team involved – and I can’t say enough about what it means to work with such dedicated, professional, and unstoppable colleagues.

These funds are already being used by organizations around the state to stay financially viable, adapt and pivot programs, and undertake projects that use humanities to document the experiences of communities throughout Illinois during the pandemic. The full list of grantees is available here. Upcoming grant opportunities include grants through Envisioning Justice (August 15th and October 15th) and Community Grants (September 15th). Please visit our website for more details.

Info Shared by Linda Young, Reclaim South Shore For All: RECEIVED August 11, 2020 from Friends of the parks
Dear friends of the parks,
As this country’s renewed attention to civil rights gives birth to lots of dialogue and new language, the term “BIPOC” has emerged, referencing Black and Indigenous People of Color, discrimination against whom our society is now being called to grapple with more seriously.
So what better moment for us to be in the midst of planning the annual commemoration of Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable, a Black man of Haitian decent, who married Kitihawa, a Potawotamie woman. That multi-cultural family created the first permanent settlement in the late 1700s in what would become Chicago, on the north bank of the Chicago River at its junction with Lake Michigan.
And it is that time of the year again when we honor the contributions that the DuSable family brought to lay the foundation for what our beloved city is today.
On Saturday, August 29th at 11:30 AM, on the actual date of DuSable’s death 202 years ago, the DuSable Coalition presents the annual DuSable Commemoration and Wreathing Ceremony.
Due to COVID-19, there will be some changes to the commemoration and added safety precautions. We are asking that if you can, please join virtually via Zoom or Facebook Live. Unless health conditions prohibit, there will be a number of dignitaries, leaders, and coalition members on site at the wreath laying on the DuSable bust at the DuSable Bridge. This ceremony will be streamed for everyone at home.

“Parks that are reopening include Grant Park, Lincoln Park, Burnham Park, Harold Washington Park, Jackson Park, the Jackson Park Golf Course and the Diversey Driving Range.”

While ANY AND ALL BEACHES REMAIN CLOSED FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, parks north or south of Lake Shore Drive that do not have a beach are OPEN (i.e. Steelworkers and Berger Park).
Also, on the south, the GREEN SPACE at RAINBOW and CALUMET PARKS are OPEN, even though the beaches there are closed!
The 606 remains closed.
The talks are on-going as to exactly how and when to reopen the Lakefront Trail, but we’re told it’s coming soon.
If you would like to see the full list of closed parks, beaches and public areas CLICK HERE to read the Mayor’s order and see “Attachment B” on the last page.
We hope that access to these parks will allow Chicagoans a chance to stay safe and space out more while getting the physical and mental benefits of visiting the parks and being with nature.

I am excited to announce that I’ve accepted to be Alliance of the Southeast – ASE newest Youth Organizer. There’s so much I’m looking forward to doing with the youth, especially mobilizing and empowering them to be involved in leading and shaping their communities. With this being said, I’d like to ask that everyone please share this opportunity to join ASE’s Youth Leadership Council, we will be meeting this July 10th Friday from 3-5 pm. We will also be providing summer money for those youth getting involved. So if you know any passionate or curious youth from the ages of 12-18 in the Southeast Side, I’d be more than happy to talk with them
