These findings are contained in a new infographic from the Center for State and Local Government Excellence (SLGE) and ICMA-RC. The K-12 public school employee research is a supplement to a wide-ranging analysis of state and local employees’ views detailed in the recent report, Public Sector Employee Views on Finances and Employment Outlook Due to COVID-19.

NATION’S MAYORS RELEASE DETAILED PLAN FOR POLICE REFORM IN U.S. CITIES The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) recently released a detailed blueprint for improving policing and promoting equal justice in America’s cities. Following the death of George Floyd, a USCM Working Group on Police Reform and Racial Justice was assembled and tasked with developing real, workable, sustainable recommendations to reform policing that will restore trust between officers and those they serve. In June, the Working Group, led by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, released its principles for reform. The plan made public goes further to discuss in detail the many dimensions of this challenge and provides a roadmap for cities to improve policing and address structural racism that has plagued the nation. Along with Mayor Lightfoot, the Working Group included Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, chair of the USCM Mayors and Police Chiefs Task Force, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri L. Williams and Columbia (SC) Chief of Police W.H. “Skip” Holbrook. The mayors and Police Chiefs worked with reform experts including Charles Ramsey, former police chief in Philadelphia and Washington, DC, Co-chair of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing and advisor to the U.S. Conference of Mayors; Ron Davis, executive director, President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing and Director, COPS Office; and Tom Cochran, CEO and executive director, U.S. Conference of Mayors.

The Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation wins Chicago Prize Continued from page 1 BY TIA CAROL JONES

Auburn Gresham, Always Growing is the winner of the $10 million Chicago Prize from the Pritzker-Traubert Foundation. The project was a collaboration between the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation, Urban Growers Collective and Green Era Partners. The proposal included two large scale catalytic projects, with a cost of $53 million in total. One is repurposing a 60,000 square foot building that has been vacant for more than 20 years into the Auburn Gresham Healthy Lifestyle Hub. It will be anchored by a full-service health and wellness center, as well as a Black owned sit-down restaurant. It will be located at 834-45 W. 79th St. and will have a green roof that will be used to teach urban agriculture and green technology. The second project is the Green Era Anaerobic Digester and Urban Farming Campus, to be located at 650 W. 83rd St. Formerly a city auto pound, it will include a 9-acre, food waste processing plant. The goal is to promote urban agriculture. There will also be a 13,000 square foot greenhouse, which will grow organic produce. Cindy Moelis is the president of the Pritzker-Traubert Foundation. Moelis said all six teams really did a great job and the foundation had a great time getting to know all the teams. She said the criteria used to analyze each team included LIFT, which stands for leverage, impact, feasibility and team. According to Moelis, as far as leverage, the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation, “was almost five-to-one.” She added, “For our $10 million, the project they were going to be able to complete cost, I believe, over $50 million to actually complete.” “So, they were using other state and

federal and private dollars to get it done,” she said. Moelis said Auburn Gresham was ready to execute their plan; the money from the Chicago Prize was the last money which came in. Moelis added the impact criterion was the definer that made Auburn Gresham the winner. “The way that Auburn Gresham came in was truly unique, it was two ideas. No other proposal presented the idea that if one of the entities was successful, that the profit, revenues would come back to the community development corporation and be able to reinvest it in the community. This was long term sustainability. That was what was so exciting to us,” she said. Carlos Nelson, executive director of the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation, said winning the Chicago Prize is validation for community residents and partners. “Validation that all of our efforts over the years, related to community planning and focusing on economic development

and health and wellness and building human capital within our communities, it’s validation that we’ve been doing the right thing,” he said. “It also validates our focus of looking toward the future, as it relates to green technology, green jobs, equitable access to healthcare and wellness and living wage jobs, right here in our community.” Nelson said the two projects will bring high paying and living wage jobs to the community. There will be an estimated 300 construction and 300 permanent professional jobs. “During the year of 2021, there will be excavators and bulldozers and earth movers here in Auburn Gresham on three large projects to really show the vitality and movement of economic development as we continue to promote wealth in our community,” he said. “We’re excited to be recognized by the Pritzker-Traubert Foundation as the organization that led and is leading this Renaissance. There’s so much more work ahead.”

Building Bridges From Despair to Hope Despair. Imagine…there you are. It’s the middle of the night. You’re standing on the street, barefoot with only the hurriedly-grabbed clothes on your back. You’re watching your dwelling burn to the ground. Your pockets are empty. What do you do? Where do you start? Where will you stay? What will you eat? What will you wear? The American Red Cross responds to nightmares like this every 8 minutes across the U.S. – 180 times a day. The disasters vary from home fires (the most common disaster) to floods, tornados, hurricanes and the like. Home fires kill more people than all other natural disasters combined in the U.S. But thanks to generous donors, and dedicated volunteers, the Red Cross is often able to be on the scene of a disaster within 2-3 hours. Sometimes within 20-30 minutes. In addition to emotional support and helpful counsel, the Red Cross is

often able to provide Client Assistance Cards. These cards are like pre-loaded debit cards and vary in dollar amount depending on immediate needs. Receiving a card can translate into a safe place to sleep, a change of clothes, and hot meals. The cards help build a bridge from despair to hope. In the case of large-scale disasters such as floods and hurricanes, the Red Cross makes plans in advance around potential impact to property and residents. They coordinate with partners for shelter locations, position volunteers, and get relief equipment and supplies in place. Supplies sent ahead in preparation for a disaster often include the Client Assistance Cards. FedEx provides an in-kind shipping account to the Red Cross each year. This increases their capacity to serve people in their darkest day, as they are able to ship supplies, including the Cards, and

CEO empowers mothers to be Hustle Mommies BY TIA CAROL JONES

Ariel DeNey Rainey is the founder and CEO of Hustle Mommies, an organization that is focused on empowering single mothers and helping them to become leaders in their homes and in their communities. With Rainey at the helm, the Hustle Mommies organization has received proclamations from elected officials in New York City, Compton, Calif., and has been featured by the Obama Foundation. Rainey grew up in Englewood and in the church. She was accepted to 11 colleges when she learned she was pregnant with her son and kept him. She said a lot of socioeconomic factors come into play when you look at single mothers in the Black community. “Hustle Mommies was something God gave me because I was living that. I grew up in a household with a hustle mommy, my mom was a single mother of three kids, my grandmother was her support system. My aunt was a hustle mommy,” she said. “Hustle Mommies was something God gave me to restore urban families, with an emphasis on Black families, bringing back those village values.” Rainey said the focus is on emotional wellness and effective parenting by focusing on urban education so that parents can be more involved in their children’s learning capabilities, as well as with their careers and entrepreneurial development. “We want the moms to be healthy – mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We want them to be active in their kids’ lives and make some money, because you know, kids cost,” she said. Rainey also started Mogul Kids to help

Black kids get into entrepreneurship. The goal is for them to seek out and take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities, such as social media branding opportunities. She said it will be launched next year, with a summer camp. Rainey said one of her favorite movies is “Claudine” with Diahann Carroll. She called it a ‘hustle mommy classic,’ in the way that Carroll’s character takes care of her six children, while living on welfare, and also finds love. “I look at Hustle Mommies as a way to create the whole healthy mom, in order to have these

environments for their kids and get some money,” she said. “A lot of people in our community have been conditioned to settle and not fight for more.” Rainey, who fondly talked about her grandmother and the impact she had in the community, said the organization has been breaking down a lot of learned behaviors and trauma and taking back the community. She said her grandmother was the “blueprint of a hustle mommy,” adding her grandmother’s gift and purpose was to give kids the love of God. The aim of Hustle Mommies, she contin-

ued, is to bring the energy and spirit of grandparents back who were about the community, kids and the family. “Putting us together and getting our households in order individually through the mom becoming empowered is what’s going to be the main ticket,” Rainey said. She added mental wellness and the health of the moms are a main focus of the organization. Rainey started Hustle Mommies in 2012 with empowerment events while she was living in Los Angeles. After that, she started to see gun violence happening. She was looking at ways to get involved with community activists in Chicago. This year, Hustle Mommies partnered with Austin Peoples Action Center to help bury children who were killed in shootings. She said the work that they’re doing now involves relieving moms of trauma and helping them to get past their fear which is based on their environment. Rainey said people who inspire her are her grandmother, actress Taraji P. Henson, Dominique Jordan Turner, chief executive officer of Chicago Scholars and Diane Latiker, founder of Kids Off the Block, a community-based organization in Roseland. She also noted Cynthia Williams of Austin Peoples Action Center, is someone who constantly serves the community. Hustle Mommies and Austin Peoples Action Center have partnered to help 800 mothers by providing resources. She said she likes being around people who are “doing it for real,” who are really “authentic” and who are “using these dollars to make a difference.” The work Hustle Mommies is doing is important, she said, especially now. “The work that we’re doing is very important because our moms need a voice and we need a seat at the table.”

You Have the Right: 5 Credit Rights Consumers Should Know The credit industry has a few major players: from credit card issuers to lenders to credit bureaus. Knowing your credit rights empowers you to take control of your credit and handle any issue efficiently. A few major laws that affect your credit life include: the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Truth in Lending Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Here are five important rights granted to you by those laws, from myFICO. 1. The right to know what’s in your credit file. Credit reports help financial businesses make more informed lending decisions. Your credit details aren’t a secret—the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives you the right to request your credit report. That includes your reports from major credit bureaus as well as smaller, specialized credit reporting agencies. Previously, we’ve been allowed to access a free credit report every 12 months from each of the credit bureaus through AnnualCreditReport.com. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this annual access has been expanded to a weekly free credit report through April 2021. Outside of your free credit reports, you can purchase your credit bureau reports along with your FICO® Score through myFICO.com. 2. The right to an accurate, timely credit report. The FCRA acknowledges the need for accurate consumer credit information for the banking system to work smoothly. And so, the law gives consumers the right to have inaccurate, incomplete, and outdated information removed from their credit reports. Outdated information could be bad debts that are more than seven years old or bankruptcies that are more than seven or 10 years old, depending on the type of bankruptcy. If you spot errors or old information on your credit report, you can dispute it with the credit bureau reporting the error. After investigating your dispute, the credit bureau will either update your credit report or send a letter explaining that the creditor verified the information. You could follow up with a dispute to the company who provided the information if your credit bureau dispute was unsuccessful. 3. The right to have third-party collection agencies report only validated debts. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act primarily guides how third-party collection agencies should contact consumers but also prevents collectors from reporting unverified debts. You’re allowed to request debt validation from third-party collection

Knowing your credit rights empowers you to take control of your credit and handle any issue efficiently.

agencies to verify the debt is yours, the amount is correct, and the collector has the right to collect it. Debt collectors who don’t provide proof after you’ve requested validation aren’t allowed to collect on those debts any further or report them to a credit bureau. 4. The right to know how much your credit costs. The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) aims to ensure that consumers are treated fairly and are informed about the cost of financial products. Under the TILA, lenders and credit card issuers must layout credit card costs in a way that’s easy to understand, before you agree to a credit card or loan. Note that the TILA doesn’t cap the amount of interest that can be charged, however, some state laws do limit interest on certain financial products. The law does require creditors to list cost details, like interest rate and grace period, on each billing statement. Additionally, your credit card issuer must make your card agreement available upon request. 5. The right to equal credit access. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act was designed to ensure that consumers have equal access to credit. More specifically, the law restricts lenders and credit card issuers from using certain information to qualify you for a loan. This includes: race, color, religion, marital status, whether you receive public assistance, and age (however, note that age is considered when you’re legally too young to sign a contract). Using only financial information to approve applicants helps prevent discrimination. If you believe your rights have been violated and you can’t handle it with the company directly, you can involve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help reach a resolution.

Back 2 School Illinois Launches “We Appreciate Teachers” Statewide Contest to Celebrate & Support Educators During COVID-19 Ten Winning Illinois Teachers Will Receive Free School Supplies for their Students, plus Personalized Gift Baskets

Back 2 School Illinois (B2SI), a Chicago-based nonprofit that provides tens of thousands of deserving kids from low-income families with free school supplies to help them succeed in the classroom, is pleased to announce the launch of its We Appreciate Teachers contest. The statewide initiative is designed to celebrate and support Illinois educators, particularly during COVID-19, by rewarding ten winning teachers with Back 2 School Illinois kits (full of 30 much-needed school supplies) for their entire classroom of students. The winners will also receive personalized gift baskets including Lynfred wines, Cabot cheeses, Starbucks coffee, salon treatment at Dennis Bartolomei, and other items.

Anyone can submit an application on behalf of a teacher, including the teacher himself/herself. The teacher must be currently employed by a school in Illinois. To participate, visit https://b2si.org/we-appreciateteachers-contest and complete the online We Appreciate Teachers contest application, or print out the form, complete it, and then mail the application to B2SI. All applications must be completed by August 31st and include an essay (up to 500 words) explaining how the nominated teacher goes above and beyond to positively impact their students’ lives. Winning teachers will be notified in early September. “During these challenging times, teachers have had to work even harder to make sure their students stay

connected and are learning,” says Back 2 School Illinois CEO, Matthew Kurtzman, “With our new campaign, we are celebrating the creativity, resourcefulness and going above and beyond that teachers have had to do to provide Illinois school children with an education during COVID-19.” About Back 2 School Illinois (B2SI) The Back 2 School program was launched in 2007 by the Community Currency Exchange Association of Illinois to address the pressing needs of communities and the inequities in educational opportunities for children. In 2015 the nonprofit changed its’ name to Back 2 School Illinois to reflect the work of the organization. Today, B2SI is the largest free school supplies program in the state, serving children of low-income households and lessening the financial burden for their families. The Back 2 School program has provided more than 260,000 children with their own school supply kit since its inception. The organization’s long-term goal is to provide the more than one million Illinois children from low-income families each year with the school supplies they need to succeed in the classroom. In the summer of 2018, B2SI launched Back 2 School America, which is aimed at providing Back 2 School kits to children across the USA.

Virtual School Means Extra Screen Time – And Added Eye Strain For Kids

This school year is beginning in much the way the last one ended, with many districts opting for virtual learning, which means children sit at home in front of computer screens rather than in a classroom in front of teachers. But that extra screen time – mixed with the screen time many children and teenagers spend on their own – brings with it the potential for serious eye strain, says Dr. Jeff Kegarise, an optometrist, clinical management expert, and co-author with his wife, Susan, of One Patient at a Time: The K2 Way Playbook for Healthcare & Business Success (www.theK2Way.com). “Spending too much time in front of screens on computers, phones and tablets can lead to headaches, blurry vision, dry eyes and more,” Kegarise says. “Gritty, scratchy, watery, or irritated eyes can be common because of all the digital devices people use these days.” And if things aren’t bad enough, even without this added time staring at computers, about one-fourth of children in the U.S. have a vision problem significant enough to affect their performance in school, Kegarise says. It’s not unusual for some children to spend hours staring at a video game screen, perhaps so caught up in the game’s action that they fail to notice or care about any eye discomfort that results. Add several hours of online school, though, and eye strain becomes more difficult to ignore. Kegarise says parents can help their children alleviate some of the eye strain by making sure they do the following:

• Remind them to blink. Parents should remind children to blink when they spend a lot of time in front of a screen. That helps spread tears across the eyes, keeping the eyes lubricated and aiding in the prevention of dry eyes, Kegarise says. Even without all this added screen time, children often develop vision issues that hurt their performance in school and sports, Kegarise says. Forty percent of children develop nearsightedness, he says, and it’s an even higher percentage for those who have a parent

• Take breaks. To a certain extent, students won’t have control over this because teachers will decide when breaks happen during the school day. But ideally, they should take a break from the screen every 30 minutes, Kegarise says. • Choose the right lighting. The type of lighting used in the student’s work space can make a difference. Incandescent lights work better than fluorescent lights because they give off less glare, Kegarise says. “It’s also better if the light is placed over your shoulder than if it’s shining straight down on the screen because that will cause fewer reflections,” he says. • Adjust the position of the computer. The computer monitor and the keyboard should be positioned to conform with the child’s size. Make sure the screen isn’t too high in the child’s field of view. A report by the National Institutes of Health suggests an adjustable chair is the best option to get height just right.

Who is nearsighted. “In addition, reading difficulties and attention problems are often the result of eye muscle, visual processing, and function problems.” Kegarise says. “Parents who feel that their child has a tougher time reading and comprehending than others should consider an eye exam for them. It’s possible through vision therapy to make life-changing and long-lasting improvements to their learning and confidence.”
