Show Me The Money: Faith in Acon

By Cynthia Stewart

As an Execuve director of a non-prot organizaon, I oen

nd myself at the crossroads of how to connue the work of

our organizaons mission to help others and having the nec-

essary capital to do it. In todays ever-changing environment,

we oen feel that we must choose between what Spirit is di-

recng us to do with our lives and the increasing need to earn

money in order to survive, as an organizaon and individually.

Id like to introduce a seemingly rev-

oluonary concept built around co-

operave economics and how it can

be used to solve todays issue of the

Religion of Capitalism that has tak-

en over and destroyed our communi-

es. If we connue to live our lives based on the concept of

bigger, beer, faster, shinier, we will certainly run out of

things that are appealing to us. As we know, Greed is a con-

cept that only leads to eventual peril of the people and com-munies in its wake. Just based on recent headlines like

Judge Sentenced in Kids for Cash, CPS School Chief Indict-

ed, and Environmental Destrucon to Food, Water and Land

for Greater Prots, and my favorite 6 Billion Reasons Why

The American Gun Lobby Loves A Good Mass Shoong; its no

wonder that our communies are failing. The idea of a coop-

erave economic system is the answer to this issue by having

People, Place, and Prot at the center of the system, in that

order. Historically, the church has been the instuon in the

community to rise up. Early in our countrys history, the

church rose against the injusce against slavery. Later the

churches in the community again emerged to lead the charge

against the oppressions suered during the Civil Rights move-

ments of the 1960s. Currently, the Community of Faith as a

whole must rise against our modern ill s of gun violence, drugs,

a failed school system that directly feeds a for-prot prison

system, and few to no jobs in the community that leave

people without hope, love, and no future. ALL people

of faith must step in the gap together to provide the

hope and promise of a beer future. With a mustard

seed of faith like Jesus spoke of in Mahew 17:20, this

promise is possible. In a Cooperave Economics Sys-

tem, everyone involved in the eorts will reap the ben-

ets of the prot created. As an example, when a Chi-

cago window factory in Goose Island closed its doors,

the employees took a stand and restructured opera-

ons to save the factory and their jobs. This kind of

insight showed that together, they could all ourish

and prosper. Father Greg Boyle founder of Homeboy

Industries has proven "Nothing stops a bullet like a

job."Consider this an invitaon to a panel discussion of

faith leaders, community acvists, business people and

professionals on the front lines of Social Economic Jus-

ce entled Show Me the Money-Faith In Acon to

be held on Thursday, November 5, 2015 from 3pm to

5pm at Christ Universal Temple; 11901 S Ashland Ave-

Come celebrate the 1st Annual Tree Lighng Ceremony

on Monday December 7th, 2015 at St. Peter & Pauls

Church located at 12425 S. Halsted Street at the Rev

Bruno Grinis Social Center (2 buildings North of the

Church). We are so excited about this , so much so that

we are busy working out the details! We need volun-

teers, chorale singers, face painters, arsts, and most

importantly, YOU! There will be three, yes, three trees

to light. One as our main tree, and two small giving

trees.Set the date for that evening because you dont want to

miss out and you do want to be a

part of this historic moment. The

lighng of the tree marks commu-

nity eort to join hands in making

our community one of kinship,

family, and love!

If I speak in the tongues[ of men or

of angels, but do not have love, I am

only a resounding gong or a clang-

ing cymbal3

If I give all I possess to

the poor and give over my body to

hardship that I may boast, but do

not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is paent, love is kind. It does

not envy, it does not boast, it is not

proud. It does not dishonor others, it

is not self-seeking, it is not easily

angered, it keeps no record of

wrongs. Love does not delight in evil

but rejoices with the truth. It alwaysprotects, always trusts, always

hopes, always perseveres. And now

these three remain: faith, hope and

love. But the greatest of these is

Love

Term Limits Amendment

Background Fieen other states impose

term limits on state legislators. Most

states impose a limit of eight to 12 years in

each chamber. Its me for Illinois to

adopt legislave term limits.

Original Proposal The Illinois Constuon

should be amended to limit a Representa-

ve or Senator from holding that oce or

combinaon of those oces for more than

10 years. o Compromise Proposal: In addi-

on to legislave term limits, a constu-

onal amendment liming execuve oce

holders to only two four-year terms in any

oce should also be adopted.

Redistricng Amendment

Background Legislators should not choose

voters voters should choose legislators.

The current redistricng process gives too

much power to career policians. Its me

to adopt an independent commission

model to draw fair legislave maps.

Daily Eang Roune

By Jaime Taylor

Eat you vegetables! How many mes have

we heard that? Well, there is a reason for

mom request to eat your vegetables. Vege-

tables are rich in ber, they feed our gut

our bodies blood sugar for steady energy

and a sense of fullness. So , how to add

those vegetables? Lets take a look.

1. Use leover fresh greens such as spin-

ach and kale in your omelets or sand-

wiches.

2. Use your milder avored greens i n your

own smoothie recipes.

3. Greens are excellent julienned and used

in sr fry.

4. How about a build your own wrap?

Those vegetables can make all the dier-

ence and you can use less meat.

5.Pasta sauce 101...tomatoes, roasted red

peppers, garlic, basil, Ninja blender and vio-

la! Season to taste. This is a denite friend

and family cook to impress moment.

These are just a few ps on how to add extra

vegetables in your daily eang roune. For

Civics, Public Office, & Government

By Staff Writer

This is the third of an ongoing series designedto

inform and remind us of the role and function of

those elected by the people to public office.

The next three years starng in 2016 mark the begin-

ning of an elecon cycle starng with the White

House and ending in State and local governments. As

a community it is not too early to begin to take note

of challenges we face. As we take note, we must also

ask the hard quesons that only we as a community

can address. As we move forward as a community,

let us begin to think about the future and the impact

upcoming elecons will play in shaping our commu-

nity. And while we are thinking remember this, if

parcipaon in the elecon process is not exercised,

you can be certain that change will not occur. If you

cannot vote due to a criminal record, there are pro-

grams in place to help restore your right to vote. If

you commied a criminal act as a juvenile, here are

the steps you can take to clear your name. )Note that

certain crimes are not eligible for expungement.)

(ERASING YOUR RECORD)

Youth who are arrested and/or successfully complete

their involvement with the juvenile jusce system

and do not commit new crimes may have their rec-

ords expunged or erased. Even if a youth is arrested

and the case does not go to court, the arrest record

needs to be expunged. Arrests are more likely to

show up on a background check when a person con-

sents to a background check when applying for em-

ployment. When a record is expunged, it is as if the

crime never occurred. Each law enforcement agency

expunges or destroys their records on the youth. Ex-

pungement includes erasing both police records and

court records if the case proceeded to court. If aninquiry is made on a youth's criminal background and

the records were expunged, the answer back to the

person or enty making the inquiry, will be that "no

records exist."

WHAT CAN NEVER BE EXPUNGED OR ERASED

Findings of Guilty for:

First Degree Murder

Felony Sex Oenses

Certain Trac Oenses such as: Driving Under t

uence of alcohol or drugs or Reckless Homicide

TO BEGIN THE EXPUNGEMENT PROCESS, FIRST O

Commentary for Spotlight

Work-Family Balance is Crical for

Fighng Poverty In the latest commentary

for Spotlight, contributor Judith Warner, sen-

ior fellow at the Center for American Pro-

gress, argues that work-family balance is pri-

marily a low-income women's issue and

should be addressed as such by policymak-

ers. Warner says the conversaon about

work-family balance too frequently centers

on well-educated professionals, when in fact

low-income women are most frequently

pushed out of employment due to caregiving

dues and are most likely to have jobs with

unpredictable and demanding hours. Policies

such as paid family and sick leave and more

exible scheduling could help these women

become more nancially independent and

more likely to stay employed long-term,

Warner argues --and would also bring the

U.S. in line with other high-income naons.

Many of you know me as a member of the West

Pullman community, working to help improve our

quality of life. But in my real life I am involved in

three industries: food, design, and health. Wow,

who knew right? My passion for design and medi-

cine began at the same me, with design winning

out. Here is a lile bit about me as it re lates to de-

sign. I graduated from the Ray Vogue School of De-

sign in Chicago where I studied Interior Design. I

later aended Pla College in San Diego California

where I graduated with Diplomas in the areas ofArchitectural Draing & Blueprinng as well as

Computer Aided Design & Draing (AutoCad).

In the 1980's, Ms. Holden became part of the

movement to use clean materials in new construc-

on, now called the 'green design & green technol-

ogy. Her awareness of environmental issues is

forefront during the conceptual design process. She

has worked in the residenal, commercial, and hos-

pitality industry, oen focusing on space planning,

architectural detailing, specifying, custom cabi-

netry, kitchen & bath design, &e, and custom de-

signs. Ms. Holden was lead designer for the Albu-

querque Home & Garden Show for a period of two

years, a columnist for a local magazine (Interiors),

and as a student, founded and published the Archi-

tectural Times, a publicaon geared towards bri dg-

ing the gap between academia and the profession-

al eld of Architecture. She has served on the

Scosdale Chamber of Commerce, volunteered

with the San Diego Planning Commission, and

served for two terms as the Vice-President of the

American Instute of Architectural Students (San

Readying the Workforce: Siemens Takes Acon

Eric Spiegel, the CEO of Siemens USA, advocates for

beer workforce preparedness and training models in

the U.S. through the Business Roundtable Educaon

and Workforce Commiee and the steering com-

miee of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership

2.0.

Siemens supports innovave design and engineering

programs such as PACE, EcoCAR2 and Greenpower

which focus on building sustainable and energy e-

cient products. Siemens GO PLM (Global Opportuni-

es in PLM) program makes in-kind grants of engi-

neering and product lifecycle management (PLM) so-

ware:

Helps over 12,000 academic instuons and 1.2

million students per year learn cri cal hands-on

skills

Supports advanced manufacturing funcons such

as product design, simulaon, analysis, manufac-

turing and product data management

Leverages broadly deployed Siemens technology

and automaon soluons found in nearly every

manufacturing environment around the world

Students trained on these systems are able to

bring these skills to nearly any manufacturing fa-

cility.

Siemens recently made a $440 million P LM soware

grant to Youngstown State University which will help

students at the America Makes manufacturing innova-

on hub in Youngstown, Ohio. This center is devoted

to incorporang 3-D prinng in mainstream American

manufacturing and will provide students with hands-

on use of PLM soware in elds such as robocs de-

What is Advanced Manufacturing ?

Advanced manufacturing is. . .

. . a family of acvies that (a) depend on the use and

coordinaon of informaon, automaon, computaon,

soware, sensing, and networking, and/or (b) make use

of cung-edge materials and emerging capabilies ena-

bled by the physical and biological sciences, for example

nanotechnology, chemistry, and biology. This involves

both new ways to manufacture exisng products, and

especially the manufacture of new products emerging

from new advanced technologies Advanced Manufactur-

ing

Boosng Access to High-Quality STEM Educaon The

Presidents plan calls for culvang the minds of tomor-

rows engineers, sciensts, and innovators through

strong and sustained investment in science, technology,

engineering, and mathemacs (STEM) educaon that

engage students from all backgrounds and underpin fu-

ture economic compeveness.

Manufacturing stands on the threshold of a major trans-

formaon.

From the digizaon of equipment, processes, and or-

ganizaons to three-dimensional prinng (or addive

manufacturing) to materials with custom-designed prop-eres, a whole host new design, producon, and busi-

ness capabilies are opening the way to new types of

manufacturing-referred to, collecvely, as advanced

manufacturing.

Advanced manufacturing entails more than making high-

Brookings announces the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass

Iniave on Innovaon and Placemaking

WASHINGTON, DCBrookings Instuon President Strobe Tal-

bo today announced the establishment of theAnne T. and

Robert M. Bass Iniave on Innovaon and Placemaking,a col-

laboraon between the Brookings Instuon and Project for

Public Spaces.The iniave is made possible through a gi

from Brookings trustee Robert M. Bass and his wife, the philan-

thropist Anne T. Bass.

Aer a period dominated by isolated research parks, the geog-

raphy of innovaon is returning to cies; in turn, city leaders

are striving to build vibrant spaces that match communies

cultures and serve diverse people and innovave rms. In this

context, the Bass Iniave will build on Brookingss research on

innovaon districtsdense, amenity-rich enclaves that are typ-

ically anchored by R&D instuons and facilitate new ideas and

businessesand PPSs long track record in placemaking, a par-

cipatory community process to develop quality public spaces

by capitalizing on a communitys assets and potenal.

The iniave will encourage mixed-use entrepreneurial and

cultural districts through research, network building, and on-

the-ground projects, including studies of the innovaon eco-

systems in pilot cies Oklahoma City and Philadelphia. Eventu-

ally, it aims to inform a new city-building movement and grow

a network of urban innovaon-hub leaders dedicated to

strengthening their economies while bringing new life to public

spaces.

Robert M. Bass is president of Keystone Group, where

he is responsible for investments in securies, nancial

services, manufacturing, informaon services, real es-

tate, oil, and gas. He is also founding partner of the Oak

Hill Venture Partners and chairman of Aerion Corpora-

on. A nave of Fort Worth, Texas, Mr. Bass is an alum-

nus of Yale University and the Stanford Graduate School

of Business. He began his business career aer Yale at

Wells Fargo Bank and returned to Fort Worth aer grad-

uang from Stanford. He was elected to the BrookingsBoard of Trustees in 2011.

Anne T. Bass is an American philanthropist and the pres-

ident of the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Foundaon. She

received a B.A. from Smith College in 1970 and an

M.L.A. from Stanford University in 2007. She is an acve

supporter of many social, civic, and educaonal organi-

zaons.

The Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Iniave for Innovaon

and Placemaking aims to catalyze a new approach to

city-building that integrates the reinforcing benets of

vibrant public spaces, innovave urban economies, and

inclusive growth.

Cies have become the undisputed engines of naonal

economies and the vanguard of policy innovaon, but

many are sll held back by compartmentalized ap-

proaches to growth, said Bruce Katz,Brookings vice

president and the Brookings leader of the Bass Iniave.

This transformave gi will allow us to suggest ways to

break down tradional city development silos and use

cies inherent benets to inextricably link eorts to

foster innovaon and build quality places.

Food for Life: Food Jusce For All

By Shirley Holden

This past weekend the Inner-City

Muslim Acon Network (IMAN) in

partnership with University of Illi-

nois Departments of Kinesiology and

Nutrion, and the College of Applied

Health Sciences hosted a forum

centered around neighborhood cor-

ner stores providing healthy food to

the communies in which they exist.

Represenng West Pullman and the

Far South Communies was Leroy

Chalmers, President of Greater

Roseland West Pullman Food Net-

work. Over the course of the forum

the discussion around healthy food

access included racial dynamics in

urban sengs, barriers and chal-

lenges in solving these issues, and

work currently being done at the

grass roots level. There were sever-

al take-aways from the forum. The

rst is this, through a system

wrought with systemac economic

oppression our food system is, too,

broken. The very catalysts that

caused the problem of broken com-

munies through ight, disinvest-

ment, unfair lending pracces, just

to name a few, are the same agents

of change coming into communies

telling them what is needed to do

to x their problems. These groups

of change disconnected from the

grassroots consist on average of ac-

ademia conducng research and

studies without input or rst hand

experience of living in the communi-

ty they are trying to change, aca-

demic carpetbaggers so to speak.

As pointed out by Rami Nashashibi, Ex-

ecuve Director of IMAN, research is

powerful but unless its connected to

the grassroots community it becomes

powerless...simply a room full of aca-

demia talking to themselves. Pro-

mong healthy food sales in small gro-

cery stores is a must happen priority.

As Leroy Chalmers pointed out, corner

stores will be here long aer the big

box stores leave. As soon as they (big

box stores) begin to lose prots or not

meet their boom line, they will jump

ship.

Arcle twenty-ve of The Universal Dec-

laraon of Human Rights states

everyone has the right to a standard of

living adequate for the health and well-

being of himself and of his family, in-

cluding food, clothing, housing and

medical care and necessary social ser-

vices, and the right to security in the

event of unemployment, sickness, disa-

bility, widowhood, old age or other lack

of livelihood in circumstances beyond

his control. This bring
