Rep. Ford pushes bill to reduce tra c stops for minor infractions
If passed, it will no longer be illegal to hang items o rearview mirror
By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter
A proposed state law would no longer allow police officers to stop vehicle owners for hanging items of f their rearview mirror while driving. Currently, state law bans items hanging from a vehicle’s rearview mirror while driving, such as air fresheners, rosaries or disability placards, as they could obstruct the driver’s vision.
Proponents of the bill said the current prohibition often serves as a pretext for racially motivated traffic stops for minor infractions. Changing the law would decrease “unnecessary encounters” between police officers and motorists over minor infractions, increasing safety for the public and law enforcement officials,
bill proponents said.
Under the proposed bill (H-2389), sponsored by State Re p. La Shawn K. Ford (IL08) and proposed by Secretary of Stat e Alexis Giannoulias, police would no longer have the authority to stop drivers for hanging items of f their rearview mirror
“Pulling someone over for merely having an air freshener attached to the rearview mirror is not only archaic, it’s ridiculous,” Giannoulias said in a press release.
“Amending the law by prohibiting traffic stops that encourage discriminatory practices will ultimately make our streets safer for both motorists and police officers.”
T he bill would amend the Illinois Vehicle Code to state that no driver can be stopped by law enforcement solely on the
basis of driving with an object hanging on the vehicle’s rearview mirror, windshields or side windows.
“We need to do everything we can to reduce the need for police interactions with people for non-violent and non-threatening violations,” Ford said. “There is no reason for police to pull over a vehicle just because they have an air freshener on their mirror or for many other minor infractions.
With this bill, Illinois joins several states and municipalities changing their vehicle codes to reduce pretextual stops, such as Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Fayetteville, North Carolina.
T he Illinois House passed the bill on March 24 and it is awaiting vote in the Senate. If passed, it will go to the governor’s of fice.

State, local leaders visit new Austin behavioral health center
Healthcare Alternative Systems opened its new center on Chicago Avenue
By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter
On May 4, state and local leaders visited the new state-of-the-art facility where Healthcare Alternative Systems, 5550 W. Chicago Ave., provides substance use treatment and mental health care services. The agency invited community members, partners and elected officials to an open house at its new Austin facility, which opened its doors in February of this year.
“This 20,000-square-foot facility is our commitment to the Austin community. We are committed to empower individuals, to empower families,” said CEO Marco E. Jacome. “In this facility we’ll provide the whole continuum of care, from behavioral health to mental health outpatient services to substance abuse treatment and outpatient [services].”
Founded in 1974 to serve Chicago’s Hispanic community, the behavioral health care and social services agency has become a state leader in providing multicultural and bilingual services. The new $5 million facility aims to provide highquality care to Austin residents.
“We know that wellness is more than the absence of illness, in fact it is helping people to experience both joy and to thrive, ” said David T. Jones, chie f behavioral health officer with the governor’s of fice. He highlighted the agency’s ef for ts at an intentional health care approach that connects mental health and substance use disorders to other social deter minants of health. “We know that those diseases have impact on people’s ability to stay housed, remained housed, employment [and] nutrition.”
Jones said these services are important as overdose deaths continue to increase across the state. From 2019 to 2021, overdose deaths increased by 25% in suburban communities, 33% in rural communities and 49% in Chicago, predominantly on the South and West Sides.
“Being in this facility is like a dream

come true, “ said Millie Adan, chief operations of ficer for Healthcare Alter native Systems, told the Austin Weekly News She added the agency is eager to address the need for community substance use recovery and support services and has spent time building relationships with local residents and stakeholders.
The facility comes after seven years of the agency searching for a West Side location, a challenging task as elected officials often rejected the idea of having a medication-assisted recovery center in their wards, Jacome said.
Since its opening, it has of fered its medication-assisted recovery program, providing treatment for approximately 200 individuals who use drugs or other substances, Jerome said. At the Austin facility, Jacome expects 400 to 600 individuals to access medication-assisted recovery. Mariana Sneed, program director, said beyond getting medication to help manage their substance use, individuals access continuing care that helps them achieve long-term results with services like counseling, mentorship and support groups. Bilingual services, in English and Spanish, are available.
Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) said she is grateful to have the agency come to the 37th ward, as she “didn’t see enough resources” to help the community deal with the opioid and mental health crisis that af fects
many of its residents. She also noted the facility’s impact will go beyond the ward.
“[It’s] a straight shot from the suburbs [to] Austin,” Mitts said. “So, the facility that you’re placing here is gonna be a catalyst for a lot of communities around who have not been able to get access.”
Outpatient services will soon be provided at the Austin location to complement the continuum of care that individuals need. Group rooms and office spaces are ready for social workers and mental health specialists to come in. In addition, HAS will run its har m reduction program to prevent overdoses
“There is still a lot of stigma, not only in substance abuse but in mental health,” Jacome said, adding the agency is building partnerships and working to reach local residents. “It’s gonna be a lot of work to make sure that people in Austin know what types of services we provide and come get these services.”
The new Austin center, one of 14 Healthcare Alter native Systems locations, will also house the agency’s headquarters which were for merly located in Humboldt Park
“We wanna be in Austin, we want to show our commitment to the people in need,” Jacome said. “We want to be part of a just and equitable society and for that, being in the Austin community is the right place for us.”

“This is the center of Austin, what we do here will inspire others,” said Morris Reed, CEO of Westside Health Authority.
The Aspire Center for Workforce Development, located at the for mer and long shuttered Emmett Elementary School, will
be a community center for career training, workforce support services, small business incubator and financial services. West Side Health Authority and Austin Coming Together will use the space to expand their core services, while Jane Addams Resource Corporation will provide free training in manufacturing, welding and mechanical assembly. It is expected to create 50 permanent jobs and train over 2,000 people in the next five years.
The revamped building, expected to be completed by 2024, will also house a café, community plaza, rooftop terrace event space, a BMO bank branch, and the recent-

ly opened POPF!t park.
Quiwana Bell, chief operating officer for the West Side Health Authority thanked members of the Good Neighbor Campaign, a community-building coalition of Austin residents, for supporting the project.
“Let me tell you that our residents came up with the first $20,000 for the project,” she said, adding residents made small contributions that initially helped fund the full workforce center. T he city invested $12.25 million while the state granted $10 million, in addition to grants and contributions by multiple philanthropic donors.
In the audience was Jacqueline Reed, mother of Morris Reed and Quiwana Bell and founder of West Side Health Authority. Reed now volunteers with the Good Neighbor Campaign.
“My kids came back to give to the community,” she told the Austin Weekly News, adding she is proud to see her children using her education and professional experience to improve Austin.
“This was really what everyone wanted to have happen, and to be able to do it in partnership is an unreal feeling of love and support,” Darnell Shields, executive director of Austin Coming To g ether said. He told the Austin Weekly News the start of the Aspire Center’s construction marks a new stage for the collective impact organization as it will help manage real-estate and ensure the long-term sustainability of the workforce innovation center.
“We’ve always b een an organization that evolves in our role and flexes to whatever we need to be for the community, so this project puts us in a new space as a codeveloper.”
Shields is a member of the board of directors of Growing Community Media, the nonprofit newsroom which publishes the Austin Weekly News.
Shields said with anchor tenants like BMO Harris Bank and the Jane Addams Resource Corporation, the Aspire Center will have providers that fulfill the needs of a workforce development center. T hey are still searching for businesses or community groups to occupy the third floor and other spaces within the building.
“This building is going to be reborn as a job training center, a place that will be a proof of concept that we feel will resonate throughout Chicago, throughout the West Side,” said Maurice Cox, commissioner of the city’s Department of Planning and Development.
Lightfoot thanked top executives of financial investor BMO Harris and community partner United Way of Chicago, who were also at the event, for their investments in the Aspire Center. As her time as mayor comes to an end, she said she is not going away and remains committed to the West Side
“Of course, I’ll be sitting in a different seat, but the work must continue. … You will see me on these streets, on these blocks, in these neighborhoods.”

e Promised Land is attainable
On April 3, 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I’ve been to the Mountaintop” speech. In it he said, “We’ve got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop. … I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”
JONES
The following day as if he had prophesied his own death, Dr. King was killed. So we never will know what he saw when he got to the mountaintop. However, 56 years later, I cannot believe that the state of Black America today is the Promised Land of which he spoke.
I believe that the Promised Land can be one of our own choosing. But to get there, Black Folks will have to embark on something we don’ t take kindly to. That is personal responsibility We are still so brainwashed into believing that White Supremacy is the roadblock to all success that many don’ t even attempt to make it to the mountaintop.
In 2013, for mer CNN host Don Lemon laid out a basic roadmap for ways in which the Black community could get to the Promised Land. Ten years later, what he said still rings true. His five points to attainment were:
5) Pull up your pants. There is nothing more disgusting than seeing men walking around with their underwear showing. It is a fashion fad that should have long since passed.
4) Using the N-word. No other group has embraced ne gative stereotype labeling and managed to self-per petuate it more amongst themselves than Black people
3) Respect where you live. The filth thrown on the ground looks bad, feeds rodents, and in general shows a complete disre gard for the community.
2) Finish school. Education is the solution — at least a high school diploma, followed by colle ge, trade school or skills training. Not a single one of our ancestors came out of slavery without some sort of skill.
1) Family first. Every child deserves a nuclear family. Delay parenthood until one is stable financially, emotionally and physically able to meet the demands of raising children in the 21st century.
I want to add a sixth point. And that is the Black community’s total acce ptance of profanity as part of our daily speech patter n. From the use of MF as a noun, pronoun, verb, adjective and prepositional phrase, we have embraced the foulness of it all with a passion. The same with using the popular ter m for excrement to describe everything from food to drink to personal possessions. It has become so common that many forget that they are dir ty words. Gro wn men and women espouse the words in front of children with no re gard.
We do not have any Black leadership that has taken on the task of being a moral authority. However, we can all begin to be intolerant of the things that hinder our progress toward the Promised Land.

Central Avenue revitalization project aims to transform area
Rethinking ‘the spine’ of Austin going south to north
By MICHELLE MEYER Austin Talks
A project to revitalize Central Avenue from Madison Street to Chicago Avenue is starting its first steps in the planning process
Austin Coming Together is collaborating with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and the Urban Land Institute to create a plan for Central Avenue to become a business, economic and cultural corridor.
The main intersections along Central Avenue that are targeted for revitalization are Madison, Lake and Chicago.
Darnell Shields, Austin Coming Together executive director, said he anticipates the planning and community engagement process to take up to 14 months Stephen Di Benedetto of CMAP said a final plan could be ready by sometime in early 2024.
Austin Coming Together is funding the project through a Local Technical Assistance grant provided by CMAP, Shields said. The idea for the project comes from ACT’s 2018 quality-of-life plan. Shields said the goal is to bring unity along the corridor since Central Avenue acts like the spine of Austin.
“It’s easy for you as a community resident to not be connected or understand that what happens in south Austin affects you in north Austin,” Shields said. “It’s easy to think that it doesn’t because of the distance.”
Shields is a member of the board of directors of Growing Community Media, publisher of the Austin Weekly News.
While the plan is focusing on Central from Chicago to Madison, many stakeholders want to expand the project further south to the Eisenhower Expressway. The expansion would include Columbus Park and potentially bring in more tourists from the
highway, said Kemena Brooks, chair of the Urban Land Institute’s ULI technical assistance panel.
“You start to pull people in beginning at 290 by utilizing markers along 290 that create this curiosity … that may pull them in and attract them to the neighborhood,” Brooks said.
The Urban Land Institute created a technical assistance panel for the Central Avenue project that consists of 11 practitioners in economic development, urban design and real estate, Brooks said. They are taking in community input and creating recommendations on how to implement the various goals.
“Central Avenue is not perceived as a commercial corridor but as a corridor to get you through the neighborhood,” Brooks said.
Many of Austin’s assets reside along Central Avenue including the Green Line el station, multiple schools, parks, Loretto Hospital, Kehrein Arts Center and Austin Town Hall.
Shields said he wants to take a “holistic approach” with the project and to “bolster and build” upon other Austin projects like Chicago Avenue’s Soul City Corridor and the Aspire Center. A major priority is to create signage along the corridor to bring cohesion to the neighborhood
Short-term priorities include creating visual cohesion with signs throughout the corridor and establishing Austin Town Hall as a destination point “for tours or maps that bring people through the neighborhood to touch some of the other beautiful homes and historical landmarks within the neighborhood,” Brooks said.
“What I often hear from people as they’re driving along Central from one end of the community to the other, they’ll ask several
times along the way, ‘Are we still in Austin?’” Shields said.
He hopes this revitalization plan could include re-opening the Central Avenue Blue Line el station at Interstate 290. There is currently no Blue Line access within Austin.
Brooks said the effort to re-open the Blue Line station would be a long-term priority.
“I think it’s inequitable. It’s not fair, to be honest,” Shields said.
The panel will be presenting its early thoughts to the public on May 24 at 6 p.m. The location is still being determined, but Shields said he hopes to host the meeting at Kehrein Center for Arts on Washington just off Central Avenue.
Meanwhile, the revitalization of Chicago Avenue’s Soul City Corridor will be starting construction mid- to late May, Chicago Department of Transportation’s Wade Van
Nortwick said at a recent meeting of the Austin African American Business Network Association.
The construction will start with “Soul City West” that runs from Austin Boulevard to Central Avenue. Construction will consist of improvements to roadways, sidewalks, lighting, crosswalks and ramps.
The corridor will have gateway art installations created by Chicago-based artist Bernard Williams. The sculptures will span across Austin Boulevard and Cicero Avenue to act as gateways for the Soul City Corridor.
“We’ll be creating one of the largest sculptures I think that’s celebrating African American history and culture in the country,” Williams said.
Public design forums with Williams will happen in May and June. To get updates on the project sign up here.

Lori Lightfoot delivers farewell speech in Austin
Outgoing mayor highlighted her administration’s equity agenda
By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter
One week before her tenure as Chicago mayor officially came to an end, Lori Lightfoot said farewell in the neighborhood her successor, Brandon Johnson, calls home.
Speaking to several dozen people, including elected officials, at BUILD Chicago’s headquarters, 5100 W. Harrison St., Lightfoot recalled some of the challenges and programs of her administration.
“The mandate that I was given four years ago was to break the status quo that failed the residents for too long,” she said, on the verge of tears, as she highlighted programs and initiatives to address inequity in the city of Chicago.
“It’s been the honor of a lifetime and a privile ge to work with you for the last four years,” Lightfoot said.
Her voice breaking, Lightfoot said that the four-letter word propelling her through the challenges of her administration was “hope.” She called out the media, who she said called her the four-letter word “mean,” the mayor that no one could get along with.
“I wrap myself up in resiliency, like the resiliency that I saw over and over again all across Chicago,” she said.
Lightfoot’s words came up after a video revisiting her four-year tenure as the 56th mayor of the country’s third-largest city T he video highlighted some of Lightfoot’s early achievements, such as the passing the Fair Workweek Ordinance. T he challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the civil unrest following George Floyd’s murder were also remembered
Lightfoot said she still remembers the moment she learned of the first COVID-19 case in Chicago and thanked Commissioner of Public Health Allison Arwady for her “wisdom and guidance” to manage the unprecedented public health crisis and keep people safe.
She said the pandemic tested her as had to “literally look death in the eye” and make decisions that she knew would impact who lived, who died, what businesses survived and which failed.
“These challenges pushed me closer to my faith, and through it, I believe, made me a better leader,” Lightfoot said. “A battle-tested leader to be sure, but I also hope and believe they made me a better person.”
Lightfoot touted her administration’s work to “operationalize equity” through programs designed to address inequities experienced by Chicago’s Black and Latino communities caused by historic disinvestment. She said the pandemic made these inequities more evident, “flashing as neon signs.”
Lightfoot highlighted her signature program Invest South/West.
“And as if there was any doubt, I will never stop telling the story of how we were able to marshal public, private and philanthrop-
ic dollars in the tune of $2.2 billion dollars in commitments to our South and West Side neighborhoods,” she said.
Austin business leader Malcolm Crawford, featured in the video, said Lightfoot truly worked with the community
Lightfoot also highlighted her administration’s “historic” investments in mental health, af fordable housing and environmental justice. She thanked staf f members, city employees, residents, business leaders and nonprofit leaders for working along with her
“The real story of this administration is better told through the people whose lives we changed,” Lightfoot said, adding she remains more optimistic than ever for the future of Chicago and trusts it will continue
to move in the right lane for the next four years.
She recognized community members and Chicagoans for working together to improve their communities “through thick and thin,” urging attendees to continue to make Chicago the city “we all want to work and live in.”
“We must continue to carry the baton forward,” she said. “To all of you, do continue serving our city and working towards equity, inclusion, safety, fair ness and vibrancy in every neighborhood.”
“I will be here as private citizen Lightfoot, continually rooting for you and every resident of our city…,” she added. “My work is not done, I will roll up my sleeves in another form and fashion but continue on.”

Is Boykin back? Now eyeing run for State’s Attorney
Former county commissioner, Boykin hosting town halls before deciding
By FRANCIA GARCIA HERNANDEZ Staff Reporter
Richard Boykin, who served as the 1st District Cook County commissioner from 2014 until 2018, before being unseated by Chicago’s Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson, is considering running to re place Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. Last month, Foxx announced she will not seek a third term.
Boykin told the Austin Weekly News he “has talked to a lot of people” and heard very encouraging comments. Before announcing an official decision, Boykin plans on hosting town hall meetings across Cook County where he wants to hear from advocacy groups, residents and victims of violence.
“I believe the best form of democracy is a bottoms-up democracy,” he said, adding he plans to listen to county residents’ concerns to “tailor” a platform that makes people feel safe.
While he is yet to determine his bid to be Cook County’s top prosecutor, Boykin said he believes it is key to “make sure that we hold criminals accountable for their actions and build bridges between the police and the community they serve.” He added it is important that offenders who are ar rested in a constitutional manner are promptly prosecuted, a concern he has heard from victims of violence and residents
“The main driving force in our county is that too many people feel unsafe,” Boykin said. “They’re afraid to go downtown, they’re afraid to take the CTA…”
He added he has heard from multiple residents that if people who have been arrested on a chargeable offense are deemed to be guilty through evidence, “they should be taken of f the streets.”
On May 12, Boykin plans to host his first town hall on Chicago’s South Side. “I want to hear from the people in Cook County what they’d like to see in the next State’s Attorney,” he said. After hosting “as many town halls as possible” all around the county, Boykin believes he’ll be in a better position to announce his intentions.
“I’m excited about the journey and I look forward to the new chapter in Cook County as it relates to the State’s Attorney and making sure that our county is a safer place.”
