Vital grassroots community building - Earth Day Clean & Greensuccess...and the road ahead!

Grand Crossing Park Neighborhood Network

"...What YOU can do for YOUR Neighborhood"

Dear neighbors, community partners and stakeholders,

2014, as we said it would, is producing many opportunities for advancement in the cause to bring down violence and establish higher order and positive productivity in our neighborhoods. There have been socials, demonstrations,

summits, conferences, newspaper proposals, TV documentaries and social media creations, rising up, all in the name of urging us to produce progress towards community improvement. IT'S HAPPENING!

Another major positive was accomplished for the neighborhood and the spirit of "rebuilding Chicago" on yesterday's date. Close to a hundred students and adult volunteers labored in love and respect while "Cleaning & Greening" Grand Crossing Park. New Life Covenant Church can take the credit for being the driving force by delivering a great umber of youthful bodies to the project. Youth were instructed by adults in several wsmall working groups, and while there was an obvious need for more efficient operational methods, a solid, historic effort was executed with room for great things in the future.

The success of the event can be summed up as tremendous community capacity being achieved by a significant enhancement of a major green space in the 60619 area code (the others are Avalon Park, Tuley Park and Oakwoods cemetery), in which a multi-generational force came together and put in several hundred man-hours of volunteer work into it. This will produce substantial capacity against public violence and destructiveness to the environment. The neighborhood received a gigantic positive boost for itself. And it was just the tip of the iceberg of untapped capacity we have yet to develop in this area! In the future the minor green spaces like Brown, Burnside, Cole, Dixon, Hoard and Meyering parks all will need the attention of large contingent exercises like Clean & Green and other organized efforts.

We still have far to go in establishing viable and responsive leadership and communications throughout the many blocks and neighborhoods of 60619. We realize everyone cannot come every time to every event, however, it's the persistent drive of folks coming when they can over a great period of time which will make the difference. We hope that YOU will strongly consider each and every call to lend yourself to our mass grassroots support actions as they come up. A new tone is being set and ground is being gained. We must not loose it!

Other collaborative capacity building events for you to plan for;

• Chatham Job & Community Resource fair", Thursday May 8th
• Several positive loitering and CAPS beat meetings (TBA)
• Likelihood of a few special cause prayer vigils (On call)
• Juneteenth Picnic, June 21st
• National Night Out August 5th
• Fall Clean and Green (Early October)
• Kwanzaa, late December

They're trying to silence your voice & your vote

Dear Supporter, The final critical deadline is just days away. This Thursday, May 1st is the last day for Springfield politicians to put the Fair Tax on the ballot - so we, the voters of Illinois, can decide in November. x Right now – this very moment – is the time for legislators to hear one final and resounding message from every single one of us: Whatever their position, this is an issue that ‘We the People’ should decide. X ***CLICK HERE to write your legislators asking them to vote ‘YES’ on the Fair Tax Act so Illinois voters can decide for ourselves on the November ballot*** X The proposed Fair Tax - with lower rates for lower incomes and higher rates for higher incomes - would provide a tax cut for 94% of Illinoisans, while protecting investments in vital services from draconian cuts. Hundreds of thousands of citizens from all corners of Illinois, Democrats and Republicans alike, have voiced support and taken action to move this critical issue forward. X On Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reported that a vote on the Fair Tax is now scheduled for next week. Polling shows that 77% of Illinois voters support a Fair Tax. But for us to decide for ourselves in November, the politicians in Springfield need to pass the bill to put the Fair Tax on the ballot. X ***CLICK HERE to write your legislators asking them to vote ‘YES’ on the Fair Tax Act so Illinois voters can decide for ourselves on the November ballot*** X Out-of-state billionaires have already poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into a smear campaign against a Fair Tax, hoping to keep it off the ballot and taking the decision out of Illinois voters’ hands. They want to protect a broken status quo that levels unfair, regressive taxes that force low and middle income families to pay two to three times the rate that the very wealthy pay in taxes. X But in the end, it’s not their choice—it’s ours! X ***CLICK HERE to write your legislators asking them to vote ‘YES’ on the Fair Tax Act so Illinois voters can decide for ourselves on the November ballot*** X In these closing days, we must emphasize to our elected representatives that, regardless of their personal feelings on the issue, this is our decision to make, and they should not deny us the chance to choose for ourselves on a Fair Tax. X I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done and continue to do on this historic campaign. We’re one final push from celebrating victory next week! X Marla Bramble Coalition Outreach Director A Better Illinois X P.S. Please CLICK HERE to write your legislators asking them to vote ‘YES’ on the Fair Tax Act so Illinois voters can decide for ourselves on the November ballot

Critical Public Hearing on Truancy Next week

Grand Crossing Park Neighborhood Network

"...What YOU can do for YOUR Neighborhood"

Again, the call couldn't be more clear - participate or die! Millions of dollars will be lost if we continue to have our best citizens watch "Scandal", claiming they're tired and making other excuses for why they're not out meeting with the right people to stem some of these crises before the boat sinks.

Let's try to take in another chance to build critical capacity to save our city. The time is now!

Please read Senator Collins' call below

April 24, 2014 Dear Friends, When children are chronically absent from school, their educational outcomes diminish and state funding for the school district dries up. That is happening here in Chicago, where more than 10 percent of students in Chicago Public Schools were truant four or more weeks during the 2010-2011 school year. Last year, I sponsored legislation establishing a task force to study the truancy and absenteeism crisis in CPS. This task force has gathered input from Chicago communities on the effectiveness of current CPS truancy policies and what can be done to improve attendance in the city. Next week, I will host one of these public hearings, where I hope you will join me and state Representative Linda Chapa LaVia to discuss how to fix the problem of chronic under-attendance in CPS. Here are the event details: What: Truancy in CPS Task Force Public Hearing When: Monday, April 28. 5:30 to 7 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. Where: Community Room, Urban Partnership Bank 7801 S. State St., Chicago, IL 60619 Improving attendance not only improves educational outcomes. Because state aid is based on attendance, reducing absenteeism will also bring in more money to our district. If we can improve attendance in CPS by just one percentage point, CPS will receive an extra $8 million in state funding. Please join me to discuss this issue of pressing importance to our community. Sincerely, Senator Jacqueline Collins 16th District – Illinois District Office 1155 West 79th Street • Chicago, IL 60620 773-224-2830 (Phone) • 773-224-2855 (Fax) Springfield Office M114 Capitol Building • Springfield, IL 62706 217-782-1607 (Phone) Unsubscribe
