RISE UP

DOCUMENTARIES TELL THE STORIES OF YOUNG, BLACK TEENS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH VIOLENCE By: Christopher Shuttlesworth Through a documentary filmmaking program, young black women are sharing the impact violence has had on their lives, while at the same time learning to become filmmakers.

Through ‘Rise Up’, four young teens from the South Side of Chicago had the opportunity to create a film and share their personal stories on how they have witnessed loved ones become victims of violence in Chicago.

DePaul University’s School of Cinematic Arts decided to create the documentary filmmaking class for young girls during the summer of 2016.

Since then, the six-week course has helped the teens tell their stories and inspire others around the world.

One teen who decided to join this year’s Rise Up program was 18-year-old Franshay Lopez, who was raised on the South Side of Chicago in

the neighborhood of 67th and Drexel.

Lopez said her and the other girls wanted to create a film about violence in Chicago and give people a clear picture of what it’s really like to live in the thick of it.

“My [19 year old] cousin Frank Jones got killed protecting his younger brother from a drunk person,” she said. “But the person ended up turning themselves into the [police] a couple days later. So, in the film, I talked about how it made me want to go after my dreams more and how I didn’t let it bring me down. I wanted to do it for him,” she said, adding when she found out her cousin Frank Jones was killed, she was really in a state of shock.

“At the moment, I didn’t have a feeling,”

Lopez said. “I was just in shock and I didn’t know what to do.”

While her goal is to pursue a career in the United States Air Force, Lopez said she encourages more young women to get involved in the program. It can help them stay focused, she said, and help them to become better team players.

The best part of the documentary process was when, “we all shared our stories and how everyone bonded and connected with each other,” Lopez commented.

The four teen filmmakers also submitted their completed ‘Rise Up’ documentaries into film festivals, and were able to screen their personal films on June 30, 2017, at the Windy City International Film Festival located at Mercury Theatre on 3745 North Southport Ave.

Hundreds of Immigrant Leaders and Allies will Rally to Urge Governor to Sign Immigrant Protections Amid Aggressive Uptick in Deportations

Campaign for a Welcoming Illinois holds rally to educate, engage and activate Illinois residents around the TRUST Act, which awaits action by the Governor

(CHICAGO, IL) Community and faith leaders will rally to ensure that Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signs the Illinois TRUST Act (SB 31) into law. The TRUST Act will limit local police engagement in immigration enforcement, an important safeguard for Illinois’ immigrant residents at a time when the federal government is using whatever means necessary to deport them.

The TRUST Act drew bipartisan support when it passed the General Assembly in May. The governor has a midnight deadline on Monday, August 28 to sign, veto, or let the legislation pass into law. Leaders will develop strategies and tactics for the next seven weeks to encourage that Governor Rauner sign the bill into law.

7th Annual College Changes Everything Conference Will Address Efforts To Equip All Students For Postsecondary Success Now that Illinois has a budget and higher education is funded, it is more important than ever that Illinois renews its collective efforts to improve postsecondary access and success for the state’s new, continuing, and future college students. On July 20th, Illinois educators, government, business and non-profit leaders, other professionals and students will come together for the seventh annual College Changes Everything® (CCE) Conference, the state’s premier higher education conference focused on improving efforts to make college possible for all Illinois students.

The state’s two-year budget delay created significant obstacles for institutions, families and students—with many students scrambling to find alternative ways to pay for college, leaving the state, or simply dropping out. Yet research shows that a high quality postsecondary credential or degree impacts not only future income, but health and happiness quotients. Moreover, with 8 of 10 Illinois employers requiring such credentials, an educated populace is a key economic driver for the state.

“Our students are our future, and getting them on—or back on—track to attend and graduate must be a priority for Illinois,” said Eric Zarnikow, executive director of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the agency that sponsors the CCE Conference in collaboration with other partners. ISAC also helped develop the College Changes Everything® college access movement, designed in part to help advance the state’s goal of increasing the proportion of adults in Illinois with high-quality degrees and credentials to 60% by the year 2025.

To achieve this goal, Illinois must improve postsecondary success for a variety of student populations, and this year’s CCE Conference asks participants to consider the varying needs of these populations as well as their barriers to success. Workshops and discussions will focus on equitable practices in college access and career readiness, ways to reduce or eliminate opportunity gaps for underrepresented students, and how we can engage all students in ways that are inclusive, culturally responsive, and socially just.

Collins, Mah to urge governor to sign religious garb discrimination ban

State Senator Jacqueline Collins, D-Chicago, held a press conference on July 13, 2017 to call Illinois Governor Bruce Rainer to sign Senate Bill 1697 which makes it a civil rights violation for an employer to impose any condition that requires a person to forgo any sincerely held religious practice or attire. The press conference was held at Mosque Foundation, located on 7360 E 93rd St. in Bridgeview. Collins was joined at the Mosque Foundation by the bill’s House sponsor, state Rep. Theresa Mah, D-Chicago and representatives of The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, Arab-American Family Services and The Mosque Foundation.

“Fighting prejudice isn’t as simple as getting a bill signed into law,” Collins said. “But prohibiting discrimination – protecting opportunity and supporting each American’s God-given rights – is the first small step in fighting prejudice,” Collins said in a released statement.

“The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is clear that our country is meant to be a place with freedom of religion and cultural customs,” said Mah. “We all come from different backgrounds and choose to worship how we please. I am calling on the governor to sign this bill into law, because it is important that we are sensitive to the rights of others and do not interfere with practices that are sacred to these people, especially in a safe space like the work place.”

Turner Hosts Illinois Farm Bureau

Residents Receive Fresh Corn

State Rep. Arthur Turner, D-Chicago, and Alderman Walter Burnett, Jr., D-Chicago, hosted the Illinois Farm Bureau on July 13, 2017, to distribute fresh corn to local residents which was grown in Illinois. The Fresh Corn Distribution was located at St. Matthew United Methodist Church (1000 N. Orleans).

“Illinois is the second largest producer of corn in the nation, but many people do not have the opportunity to taste fresh corn,” Turner said.

“Thanks to the Illinois Farm Bureau, anyone who stopped by had the opportunity to get free, freshly picked corn from Illinois.”

Corn that was distributed by the Illinois Farm Bureau was picked earlier in the day before being distributed to Chicago residents.

GUEST COLUMN

60 Percent of Employers Plan to Hire Full-time, Permanent Employees in the Second Half of 2017 CHICAGO and ATLANTA - Are you one of the 27 percent of workers who plan to change jobs in the back half of the year? The odds of landing one – and getting paid more - are in your favor, according to CareerBuilder’s 2017 Midyear Job Forecast.

The nationwide study reveals a significant year-over-year jump in the percentage of companies hiring full-time, part-time and temporary or contract workers from July 1 through December 31. More than half of employers anticipate offering higher starting salaries for new employees and the majority indicates that bigger paychecks won’t just be for high-skilled workers, they will extend to entry-level workers as well.

In the second half of 2017: 60 percent of employers plan to hire full-time, permanent workers, up from 50 percent last year 36 percent of employers plan to hire part-time, permanent employees, up from 29 percent last year 46 percent of employers plan to hire temporary or contract workers, up from 32 percent last year “Events dominating national headlines have had a polarizing effect in the U.S., but most employers remain confident in their outlook for financial growth and plans for hiring,” said Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of The Talent Equation. “Job seekers stand to benefit not only from having more options, but also from the growing intensity in the competition for talent. Employers are moving quickly to recruit candidates and they are willing to pay more across job levels. They are also placing a greater emphasis on candidates having a positive experience when they apply to their firms.

The current climate puts job seekers in a more advantageous position.”

The national surveys, which were conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder from May 24 to June 16, 2017, included representative samples of 2,369 hiring managers and human resource managers and 3,642 full-time U.S. workers across industries and company sizes in the private sector.

How much of a pay increase can new and current employees expect?

Looking at a subset of human resources managers, 72 percent feel they have to start paying higher wages because the market has become increasingly competitive for talent. The majority say this also applies to entry-level workers: 24 percent say they have to pay more even if the entry-level worker has no college or training 17 percent say they have to pay more, but only if the entry-level worker has a college degree 19 percent say they have to pay more, but only if the entry-level worker has at least some college or training Among all employers (hiring managers and human resources managers), 53 percent report they plan to offer higher starting salaries for new employees over the next six months, a big jump from 39 percent in the same period last year. Nearly one third (32 percent) plan to increase starting salaries on job offers by 5 percent or more. Twothirds of employers (66 percent) plan to increase compensation for current employees before year end and 34 percent anticipate an increase of 5 percent or more.

CareerBuilder midyear job forecast

What are the hot areas for hiring?

Information technology (72 percent) is leading the industries hiring in the back half of the year, coming in 12 percentage points higher than the national average for plans to add full-time, permanent headcount. Manufacturing (66 percent), health care1 (64 percent) and financial services (62 percent) are also expected to outperform the national average.

Looking across industries, some of the most indemand roles employers say they will be recruiting for during this timeframe are those tied to: Skilled trades – 15 percent Software as a service – 14 percent Cybersecurity – 13 percent Sales enablement – 13 percent Talent management – 13 percent Providing a good user experience – 12 percent Managing and interpreting Big Data – 11 percent Creating digital strategies – 11 percent Social marketing – 10 percent E-commerce – 10 percent

Developing apps – 10 percent Healthy living – 9 percent Which region is hiring the most?

All regions are showing a year-over-year gain in the percentage of employers expecting to hire fulltime, permanent employees in the back half of the year. The West leads with 67 percent of employers planning to add headcount, while the South remains on par with the national average. The Northeast and Midwest came in below the national average, but are reporting healthy increases over last year.

West – 67 percent are hiring, up from 53 percent last year South – 61 percent are hiring, up from 50 percent last year Northeast – 56 percent are hiring, up from 49 percent last year Midwest – 53 percent are hiring, up from 46 percent last year How do small, medium and large companies compare in plans for hiring?

Full-time, permanent hiring over the next six months is also expected to increase across company sizes. Midsize firms are leading the pack in the percentage of employers hiring, while small businesses are reporting the biggest year-over-year growth.

50 or fewer employees – 37 percent hiring, up from 27 percent last year 51 to 250 employees – 67 percent hiring, up from 53 percent last year 251 to 500 employees – 72 percent hiring, up from 64 percent last year 501 to 1,000 employees – 75 percent hiring, up from 69 percent last year 1,001 or more employees – 67 percent hiring, up from 61 percent last year What is the outlook for Q3?

Nearly half of employers (47 percent) plan to add full-time, permanent employees in the third quarter, up from 34 percent last year. Seven percent expect to downsize staffs, relatively unchanged from 8 percent in Q3 2016. Forty-three percent anticipate no change and 3 percent are undecided.

Fifty percent plan to hire temporary or contract workers, up from 37 percent last year.

1 Health Care organizations with 50 or more employees. *Totals may not equal 100 percent due to rounding or the ability to choose more than one response.

Survey Methodology

This survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder among 2,369 hiring and human resource managers ages 18 and over (employed full-time, not self-employed, nongovernment including 221 HR managers) and 3,462 employees ages 18 and over (employed full-time, not self-employed, non-government) between May 24 and June 16, 2017(percentages for some questions are based on a subset, based on their responses to certain questions). With pure probability samples of 2,369 and 3,462, one could say with a 95 percent probability that the overall results have sampling errors of +/2.01 and +/- 1.67 percentage points, respectively.

Sampling error for data from sub-samples is higher and varies.

Beware of Universal Life Insurance!

Life Policyholders Unaware of Impending Lapse Part 1 of 3

O

By Henry Benjamin

kay, here it is another insider secret to the life insurance industry.

I’m going to explain to you why yours and so many other Universal Life insurance policies are failing. You might ask why they are failing. It’s easy to see how a UL policy will fail the person who bought it when they get a letter in the mail that say, that they owe more money. How is that for a surprise?

There are also failing insurance agents everywhere because bad news travels faster than good news and all insurance agents then have to pay the price for the one who sold the policy. Maybe he or she sold it chasing commissions, maybe they didn’t know what they were doing or maybe they

just didn’t understand how the policies work.

Whatever it may have been the rest of the insurance people pay the price. It is failing for the insurance industry because it perpetuates people’s negative feelings about insurance. It gives them a big reason to not put life insurance in place. Most importantly it fails the dependents; it fails the spouse, the children and loved ones that need the financial help if something were to happen. Due to the failure of the policy it just might not be there when the payout is needed most.

Consumers are feeling the impact of the poor market and low interest rates in numerous ways, but one way many people are not yet aware of is the adverse impact on their insurance policies.

Did you know that your life policy could lapse even when you continue to pay your premiums timely?

(This is part 1 of a 3 part series, be sure to pick up a copy of next week’s paper to read more on “Be ware of Universal Life Insurance”) If you have any questions or want a review call Allstate Agent Henry Benjamin @ (773)723-0400.

MOVING BEYOND YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Do you desire to become the best version of yourself? In order to do so, you will have to take some risks and get outside your comfort zone. What is the comfort zone?

The comfort zone is our self-styled abode of contentment, satisfaction, and familiarity. It is a place where we often find ourselves with the least amount of pressure and creative tension to move from where we are to where we desire to be. The comfort zone is not a bad place and like many things, it has its pros and cons.

A comfort zone is anything that keeps anxiety and uncertainty in check and at bay. Conversely, those things that make us physically and mentally uncomfortable, fall outside of our comfort zone. Simply put, our comfort zone is the behavioral space where our activities and behaviors fall into a set routine, a set pattern, and predictably, a set outcome.

So here is the challenge, the state of relative comfort that we find ourselves in whenever we are in the comfort zone gives us the ability to only produce so much. As a Bateke proverb states, “We learn to cut down trees by cutting down trees.” Many of us want something different, yet we may not be willing to grow on from the place that makes us the most comfortable. We want better health but we won’t exercise and change the way we eat.

We want the right relationships but we won’t improve the working relationship we have with ourselves. We want a pay raise but we won’t give more effort at the job. We want more customers but our business may only be comfortable giving people what they used to need.

We often want to stay with the familiar, the place that gives us the greatest amount of certainty. But it is rare that you can be in your place of comfort and in your place of growth and greatness at the same time.
