Let’s Help Somebody…
WORKSHOP
In an effort to help those who have lost their drivers license preventing them from being hired, the St. Paul Community Development Ministries has partnered with Secretary of State Jesse White’s Mobile Unit and the John Marshall Law School Pro Bono Clinic to restore those licenses closing that barrier to a road of employment.
The accord calls for the Secretary of State’s Mobile Unit and John Marshall Law School’s pro bono team of lawyers and law students to review the driving records of those who have lost their drivers license and provide applicants with the information they need to restore their driving privileges.

Antonio's Response exercise

Grand Crossing Park Neighborhood Network
"...What YOU can do for YOUR Neighborhood"
Dearest Neighbor and stakeholder,
God has blessed our area to have not had anymore tragedies with tender aged children dying from violence since the unfortunate loss of Antonio Smith. If you've been paying attention, you know there have been many close calls.
The protective advocacy known as Antonio's Response is now ready to launch it's 2nd "Conditional Response", or dry run exercise of a response, this coming Monday, November 14, 2014 from 6 to 7pm at 71st& Rhodes. The location was chosen as the best place to send a message of community unity in the protection of tender aged children.
Our Newtwork now asks YOU to come out and join in a one hour exercise as year closes out. This is our last chance for a suitable outdoor gathering this year. We need all hands on deck. We are building stronger capacity against this threat. YOUR presence & support, as always, is required to ensure success.
Be sure that the marching banner of your organization, church or business is displayed at the scene.
Yours in community fellowship--
Brad O. Redrick,
Chairman

Representative's Corner

Dear Community members,
In my continuing effort to keep you informed regarding developments affecting the residents of the 34th District, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your continued support.
My mission as your State Representative is to improve the quality of life for the communities we serve. We continue to work collectively with the communities making up the 34th District in order to strengthen community and governmental relations as we continue to put our families and communities first.
The work I am doing in Springfield seeks to improve the quality of our schools, strengthening the middle class by creating good jobs, bringing fiscal discipline to Springfield, and passing common sense public safety initiatives to make our streets safer.
Again, thank you for entrusting me with this great responsibility, and supporting the work that we do here in the 34th District.
Warmest regards,
State Representative Elgie R. Sims, Jr.

Can You Spare Two Hours A Year to Save Black Children
We know that you are busy with important work, but if you can spare two hours a year to improve the lives of Black and Latino children in Chicago, call us at 773.285.9600.
In Chicago, Illinois:

More than 600 people have been killed so far this year, mostly young Black men by other young Black men.

More than 3500 people have being shot and wounded so far this year, mostly young Black men by other young Black men.

Only
7 percent of Black boys at the 8th-grade level read at a proficient level.

Unemployment for some groups of young Black men is 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%.

67% of the people in Cook County Jail and 58% of the people in Illinois Prisons are Black, mostly young Black men.
Only 6 (six) out of 100 (one hundred) 9th-grade young Black men will achieve a 4-year college degree by age 26.

We have thousands of young Black and Latino men and women waiting for you in hundreds of schools, waiting to hear a positive word from you, before they make their important life decisions. Can you spare two hours a year for our children?
We need fraternities, sororities, masons, veterans, young Black and Latino professionals, business people, college students, clergy, educators and anyone who cares about Black and Latino children doing well to join us. Can you spare two hours per year?

There is still time for you to join us by calling 773.285.9600 or to meet us on Tuesday, November 1, 2016, 6:30 pm, at 3509 South King Drive, Suite 2B, Chicago, Illinois. If you can spare two hours a year to save Black children, call us. If not, (you finish this sentence........).
