Join Faith in Place September 13-17th for the first-ever virtual Green Team Summit!
Join us in September to explore how interconnected our world is with people of faith who care about the environment and justice. We will connect the dots between the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and racial justice through our FREE workshops each night.
We are thrilled Christian Mitchell, who serves as Deputy Governor for Public Safety, Infrastructure, Energy & the Environment in Governor J.B. Pritzker’s administration, will lead the #GTS2020 workshop on “Transitioning to a Clean Energy Economy”. Mitchell will talk about how this #JustTransition can lessen the burden on economically disadvantaged communities.
This matters to our Faith Partners in both #rural and #urban settings. From Waukegan to East Alton, communities across this great state are plagued by the harmful health effects of burning coal and by the considerable job losses when coal-fired power plants shut down without support for those workers. We are excited to have Mitchell partner with us in setting a vision for #AJustRecovery that will enable all of us to THRIVE rather than simply survive.
YOU can be part of this #JustRecovery, too! Go to www.greeteamsummit.org for more

CLN, in partnership with Gift of Hope, presents, “Responding to Crisis in the Latino Population with Equity Lens”
We knew before the coronavirus pandemic arrived not everyone had the same opportunity to live a long and healthy life. COVID-19 has further demonstrated these realities, as communities of color, including Latino communities, are experiencing a disproportionately high number of confirmed cases and rate of death from the virus.
During this webinar, we will discuss how COVID-19 is placing an even brighter spotlight on many existing disparities experienced by Latino communities. Together we will explore:
• How this pandemic intersects with other key issues including economic and civic engagement, language and culture barriers, and the crisis concerning immigration status in Latino communities
• Approaches for informing Latino communities about coronavirus testing and prevention
• What community groups can do to support Latino families during this crisis
• Policy priorities for addressing the larger systemic issues brought to the forefront because of COVID-19
Panelists:
Jennifer Aguilar, Community Outreach Specialist, Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network
Anabell Castro Thompson, Sr. VP, Health Equity
Harvey Castro, MD, Chief Executive Officer, Trusted Health Physicians

Online Event

Join Faith in Place September 13-17th for the first-ever virtual Green Team Summit!
Join us in September to explore how interconnected our world is with people of faith who care about the environment and justice. We will connect the dots between the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and racial justice through our FREE workshops each night.
We are thrilled Christian Mitchell, who serves as Deputy Governor for Public Safety, Infrastructure, Energy & the Environment in Governor J.B. Pritzker’s administration, will lead the #GTS2020 workshop on “Transitioning to a Clean Energy Economy”. Mitchell will talk about how this #JustTransition can lessen the burden on economically disadvantaged communities.
This matters to our Faith Partners in both #rural and #urban settings. From Waukegan to East Alton, communities across this great state are plagued by the harmful health effects of burning coal and by the considerable job losses when coal-fired power plants shut down without support for those workers. We are excited to have Mitchell partner with us in setting a vision for #AJustRecovery that will enable all of us to THRIVE rather than simply survive.
YOU can be part of this #JustRecovery, too! Go to www.greeteamsummit.org for more

Chicago, Illinois
Hosted by Bridges // Puentes: Justice Collective of the Southeast
South Chicago is home to the oldest Mexican Independence Day parade in Chicago. Despite this pride, we know that there is no real independence to celebrate when thousands of migrant children have been “lost,” when thousands of migrant children have been separated from their parents, while thousands of men, women, and children sit in cages in the midst of a global pandemic.
We understand that the freedoms we enjoy can quickly be taken just as swiftly as ICE raids homes in the middle of the night. We know that the justice system we trust means nothing if a two-year-old can face an immigration judge alone with no attorney to plead asylum only to be deported.
None are free until all are free.
Covid-19 has canceled the regular event, but we know it is our duty as members of the South Chicago and Mexican community to continue this tradition in a COVID-safe manner and to use this day of celebration to bring attention to the injustices faced by all migrant communities.
Until we are all free, we invite everyone to deck out your cars, bikes, or whatever ride you choose to come in.
The route will loop back to the initial starting point. More details will be posted a couple of days before the caravan.
Immigrant tenants have rights! Governor JB Pritzker extended the moratorium on evictions until September 22. Remember that landlords cannot evict tenants because of their immigration status and lockouts are always illegal.
¡Inquilinos inmigrantes tienen derechos! El gobernador Pritzker extendió la suspensión de desalojos hasta el 22 de septiembre. Recuerde que los propietarios no pueden desalojar a inquilinos debido a su estatus migratorio y los cambios de cerradura siempre son ilegales.

As a part of the residency, artists will have access to a monthly stipend of $1000, University of Chicago Library facilities, faculty, staff, a budget for all necessary materials, and the ability to have both formal and informal studio visits – including a guaranteed work space at the Arts Incubator in Washington Park (pending Covid-19 restrictions).

About this Event
In the wake of the tragic murder of George Floyd and the events that followed the Gary Comer Youth Center’s Youth Advisory Board (YAB) wondered “has anything like this happened before in our city?”
“City on Fire: Protests & Riots in Chicago” is an interactive event designed to explore the history of protest culture, riots, and race in Chicago. The YAB will facilitate conversations on Red Summer of 1919, the 1968 Riots, and the Chicago Bulls Championship Riot. Afterward, we will have a special guest panel to discuss the attempted erasure of protests and riots from Chicago history.
This virtual event is free and open to the public. Come learn something new about our city with us!

CHICAGO (WLS) — Community activists are asking new mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate whether a serial killer has been targeting African American women on the city’s South and West sides for the past two decades.
The group leading the effort claims there could be a connection between more than 50 unsolved murders in the city. The families of some of the victims are still hoping Chicago police will take a closer look at their cases.

DuSable’s Drum Talk: Where Classics and Contemporaries Commune
On August 20th, 1619, 20 enslaved Africans arrived in Point Comfort, Va. The 400-year journey that followed would change a nation and the world.

This dynamic and life-changing musical production commemorates the struggles, recognizes the heroes, and celebrates the American journey towards freedom and equality. Using various musical forms including hip-hop and jazz, this production takes audiences on a journey that illuminates the past while tackling important contemporary issues. 1619 truly has something for everyone!

Know Your Rights: COVID 19 Eviction Protection Ordinance
Updated July 27, 2020
Landlords who issue five-day notices of eviction for nonpayment must include a notice informing tenant of their rights under the COVID-19 Eviction Protection Ordinance.
Required Landlord Notice to Tenant (.pdf)
Arabic Version (.pdf) | Chinese Version (.pdf) | Hindi Version (.pdf) | Korean Version (.pdf) | Polish Version (.pdf) | Spanish Version (.pdf)
Chicago residential tenants who have lost income as a direct or indirect result of the COVID-19 pandemic should notify their landlords in writing within five days of receiving an eviction notice in order to further protect themselves from eviction.
This written notification can take place through letter, email or text message. A text message to the landlord as simple as “I have been unable to pay rent because I have been financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic” will suffice. A more formal template is available below.
Tenant to Landlord COVID-19 Template (.doc)
State and Local Requirements
In response to the pandemic, Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a disaster proclamation and eviction moratorium in March 2020. During that eviction moratorium, special rules apply to evictions based upon nonpayment of rent. The moratorium is currently scheduled to end on Aug. 22, 2020, but it could be extended again by the governor.
When the moratorium period ends, Illinois landlords can again file for eviction due to non-payment of rent. Typically, a tenant has five days to respond to a notice of a landlord’s intent to file for eviction. In June 2020, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot signed the COVID-19 Eviction Protection Ordinance, which extends that period another seven days for a total of 12 days, if the tenant writes the landlord stating that they have had a “COVID-19 Impact.”
A COVID-19 Impact can be claimed when a tenant or another household member:
- Is laid-off from work
- Has their hours at work reduced
- Has to isolate or quarantine because of COVID-19 diagnosis or possible exposure
- Has to care for someone else affected by COVID-19
By City ordinance, during the 12-day period, the landlord has to contact the tenant and try to work out with the tenant a plan to avoid eviction. A plan to avoid eviction could include a repayment plan, mediation or arbitration, letting the tenant use their security deposit to cover the missed rent, an agreement for the tenant to move out without the landlord getting an eviction judgment against them, or other arrangements agreed to by the landlord and tenant.
The ordinance also requires that a repayment plan must give a tenant at least two months to re-pay each month of missed rent, but the landlord and tenant can agree to more time if they choose. The ordinance also determines what kind of interest and fees a landlord can charge on missed rent, how a tenant can show the landlord proof of a COVID-19 Impact, and what happens if the landlord and tenant decide to use the security deposit.
The ordinance does not require that the landlord and tenant reach an agreement, but that they make a good faith effort to do so. If a landlord does not use good faith to try and work out an arrangement with the tenant, but files an eviction case anyway, the court must dismiss the eviction case.

What do you imagine when you picture sustainable, healthy communities?
We imagine full bellies, cozy homes, clean drinking water, access to medicine and care, among other resources that create safe, loving communities.
However, the resources needed to achieve healthy communities are often allocated to whiter, richer neighborhoods at the expense of low-income and people of color. How, then, can we imagine a system that functions with equity at its core that upholds the dignity and health of everyone?
Join us and SOUL – Southsiders Organized for Unity and Liberation on Aug. 24 at 7pm as we envision what healthy communities can look like beyond policing. Rev. Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, will be facilitating a conversation with panelists who are faith leaders, public health experts, social justice advocates, and food justice organizers to discuss how we can build a world where community safety and health is prioritized.

Hosted by Bridges // Puentes: Justice Collective of the Southeast
The southeast is keeping the momentum going as we push for real policy changes to protect the lives of Black people locally, nationally, and globally.
Every other major city has seen some meaningful policy advancements that address the issues of systemic racism. Chicago has not.
This week we received two bits of bad news: CPD will remain in CPS, and General Iron’s permit has been approved, allowing them to relocate by George Washington High School.
Black lives, especially the lives of the youth, do not seem to matter very much to the city based on these decisions.
And so, Sunday, July 5th, we will ride. For Black lives and the right to breathe clean air.
So that the youth of this neighborhood are no longer funneled through the school-to-prison pipeline; so that they can live long, healthy lives with clean air and clean water.
All are welcome, all types of wheels are welcome. This is a family-friendly event, and we encourage everyone to bring a friend, and to bring music.
We will have stops planned along the way for those who want to join the ride as it passes through each neighborhood.
If you (or a friend) wish to join us but do not have a bike, reach out!
Feel free to join us just at the end (a park) for food, and the second part of our teach-in.
Exact route and rest-stop/join-in locations will be posted a couple days before the ride 😀
And of course, in case of rain, we will rain-check.
El sudeste va continuar a pelear por cambios reales para proteger las vidas de los negros a nivel local, nacional y global.
Las mayoría de ciudades grandes ya han aproabado leyes significativos que abordan los problemas del racismo sistémico. Chicago no. Aunque la gente de Chicago sigue en las calles protestando, los políticos siguen ignorando.
Esta semana recibimos dos malas noticias: nuestros hijos van a seguir yendo a escuelas con policias con múltiples denuncias de mal-uso-de-fuerza, y también que el permiso del General Iron ha sido aprobado. Esto significa que será reubicada cerca de la escuela George Washington, uno de los lugares más contaminados de nuestra comunidad.
Según estas decisiones, las vidas de los negros, especialmente las vidas de los jóvenes, no parecen importar mucho a la ciudad.
Entonces, el domingo 5 de julio, segimos en lucha para las vidas negras y el derecho de poder respirar aire limpio.
También peleamos para que la policía deje de patrullar a nuestros jóvenes en la escuela, y enfocarnos en apoyos académicos, sociales y emocionales para estudiantes, no la carcel. Luchamos para que puedan vivir vidas largas y saludables con aire y agua limpia.
Todxs son bienvenidxs, todos los tipos de ruedas son bienvenidos (patinetas/patines/scooters/etc). Este es un evento familiar, y alentamos a todos a traer un amigo y traer música.
Tendremos paradas planificadas en el camino para aquellos que quieran unirse durante el viaje a medida que pasa por cada vecindario.
Si usted (o un amigo) desea unirse a nosotros pero no tiene una bicicleta, ¡comuníquese!
Siéntase libre de unirse a nosotros justo al final (un parque) para comer, y la segunda parte de nuestra enseñanza.
La ubicación exacta de la ruta y la parada de descanso / reunión se publicarán un par de días antes del viaje!

“The fund recognizes that government agencies, institutions, and non-profits do not or are not able to prioritize those whom inequity affects most on a daily basis, even outside times of crisis. As such, the Fund prioritizes artists who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Queer, Trans+, Non-Binary, and Disabled, but will endeavor to support as many Chicago artists as possible.”

The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is launching the first round of Business Interruption Grants (BIG) by providing $60 million to businesses experiencing losses or business interruption as a result of COVID-19 related closures. The BIG Program is available for up to 3,500 businesses that experienced a limited ability to operate due to COVID-19 related closures.

Additional priority will be given to businesses located in disproportionately impacted areas (DIAs), or low-income areas that have had high rates of COVID-19 cases. Businesses eligible for the program must have experienced extreme hardship, demonstrated by experiencing eligible costs or losses in excess of the grant amount since March 21.

BELONGING AT WORK SUMMIT Let’s face it, the world of work has changed overnight. Living through the Great Pandemic has underscored why our workplace’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) commitments matter now, more than ever before. It also leaves many of us struggling with the following questions: How can we build a sense of safety, trust, and belonging at work (both virtually and in-person)? What are ways we can serve as inclusive leaders in uncertain times? How can we keep our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) commitments on track during a crisis? How do we radically include and give our most vulnerable stakeholders what they need? What are ways our organizations can disrupt white supremacy culture in our workplaces and communities? If you find yourself grappling with these big questions, and want to connect with other DEI leaders, visionaries, & change makers, join our 2020 Belonging Summit. Together, we will grow the #BelongingMovement, and you will gain a community, new skills, and the confidence to build a greater sense of belonging at work.

Info Shared by Senator Peters: oin Access Living for a Virtual Town Hall to discuss The Community Emergency Services and Support Act (CESSA), a bill that would create an alternative emergency response system for people who need help from professionals trained in mental/behavioral crises.
Register to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OQhsvwHDRUykzNfONdfF6g
Right now, the care of people experiencing these emergencies has been left to the police, who, being trained in law enforcement instead of mental health care, too often misunderstand the situation. Treating these emergencies like a law enforcement activity leads to exacerbation of the healthcare crisis, unnecessary lock-ups, and police killings.
Young adults of color with disabilities in Access Living’s organizing group Advance Your Leadership Power were the catalysts behind this bill in response to the death of young disabled people at the hands of police.
This Town Hall will feature people with disabilities, health professionals, state legislators and guests talking about why and how this bill will save lives and reduce incarceration rates in Illinois.
ASL interpretation and CART provided.
There will also be time for a Q&A at the end of the Town Hall. Due to the limitations of the Zoom webinar platform, questions submitted during the event via chat are not accessible to participants using screen readers. If you are interested in submitting a question to the panel, we encourage all attendees to do so in advance via this form on our website: https://www.accessliving.org/get-involved/emergency-response-alternatives-town-hall-question-submission/

With no new COVID relief in sight, constituents ask: “Where’s Senator Durbin?”
***A July 31 deadline looms: Eviction moratoriums, weekly $600 unemployment boost to expire
***Tens of millions have NO HEALTH CARE during the pandemic
***Black and Latinx people CONTINUE TO FALL ILL AND DIE in outsized numbers
Senator Durbin is the Democratic Whip — the second most powerful Democratic Senator in America. He should be at the forefront of the fight for a People’s Bailout that centers racial justice and guarantees healthcare, housing and financial relief for people, not corporations.
Senator Durbin just doesn’t get it:
Instead of providing healthcare for everyone, Senator Durbin talks about increasing funding for corporate hospitals.
We’re on the verge of mass evictions when local moratoriums expire, but Senator Durbin has been silent on rent and mortgage relief.
And while a bloc of progressive Senators supports $2,000 a month for everyone for the duration of the pandemic, Senator Durbin has been also silent on more financial support for individuals.
In late May, we held a town hall with Representatives Jan Schakowky and Jesus “Chuy” Garcia about a “People’s Bailout” that would provide healthcare, housing and money for all, but Senator Durbin declined to attend. We offered to reschedule. We also asked for a private meeting. Senator Durbin never responded. Tickets actionnetwork.org
