Excited to share the completion of our very FIRST Excited to share the completion of our very FIRST cohort of Chicago Creatives for Justice! This summer over the course of 8 weeks, 12 fellows learned and practiced the power of art in creating narrative change in our movements. Focusing on visual storytelling skills through graphic design and illustration, our fellows partnered with organizations in Grassroots Collaborative’s coalition to create posters, zines, brand identities, and more. By sharing food, ideas, and creative space together, the cohort practiced the powerful intersection of the arts and organizing. “The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” - Toni Cade Bambara Thank you to Field Foundation and Pritzker Pucker Foundation for investing in our cultural change makers!
#TreatmentNotTrauma is about investing in people. #TreatmentNotTrauma is about investing in people. investing in care. investing in community and dignity. With the last few years and everything in between, we all need more care. That’s why we’re fighting for #TreatmentNotTrauma. Hop on to Twitter and help us send a few tweets and get folks to email their Alderperson and the Health and Human Relations Committee and demand they invest in community care - not policing.

reposting @il_gnd girl— the devil is always in reposting @il_gnd girl— the devil is always in the details 👿 and now that we’ve had some time to read, dig and process here’s a part 2 analysis of the Inflation Reduction Act: the devil is in the details 👀 The IRA could be the largest federal climate bill in US history due to decades of hard fought organizing of our environmental and climate justice partners. While the IRA includes investments in clean energy and environmental justice, it also includes harmful provisions that continue to bolster the fossil fuel industry and poison frontline communities. The Inflation Reduction Act is a first step towards stabilizing our planet. However, the bill falls short on meeting the scale and urgency of transformative investments that our communities need. We won’t stop fighting until we win a Green New Deal ✊

Rep. Theresa Mah secured $50 mil for a high sch on the near South Side. But she's now saying she'll block the money. She says opposition, esp. about the location is being ignored. "This is an attempt by the mayor to have an election year win." https://www.wbez.org/stories/state-rep-says-shell-block-50-million-for-new-near-south-side-school-until-critical-voices-are-heard/fe4affe6-7b85-4475-841e-6ad10d65e968?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Web-Share

Here's to all the people, communities, and groups that stood up against this fossil fuel giveaway! 🎉

A true testament to the hard work of those on the frontlines of fossil fuel extraction and the climate crisis today. https://twitter.com/alaynatreene/status/1574867415468482566

Big news: Manchin folds and asks Schumer to drop his permitting language from the CR, recognizes it won’t have the votes to move forward

I “have asked Majority Leader Schumer to remove the permitting language from the Continuing Resolution we will vote on this evening”
