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

of some type of vegetable, and no, starches
dont count.
Vegetables are the number one source of

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

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-

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-

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-
sign, computer-aided engineering and addive manu-
facturing.
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-
tech products. It also includes using new, oen leading-
edge machines and processes to make products that are

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

bility, widowhood, old age or other lack
