briefly COLLINS PASSES BILL TO AID FINANCIALLY INSECURE STUDENTS Illinois State Rep. Lakesia Collins, D-Dist. 9, passed a bill that would allow the State Treasurer to make supplementary deposits into the seed funds of financially insecure students under the Illinois Higher Education Savings Program. “Higher education leads to increased economic opportunities, better jobs and better health outcomes,” said Collins. “This bill makes higher education more accessible for future students facing financial insecurity, so they can achieve regardless of the financial situation they come from.” Currently, the Illinois Higher Education Savings Program provides the Treasurer automatically deposits $50 into a college savings account for post-secondary education for every child born or adopted in Illinois after December 31, 2020. House Bill 4843 allows for the treasurer to make supplementary deposits into the accounts of children in financially insecure households if sufficient funds are available. The bill also provides the Treasurer report data on the racial, ethnic, socioeconomic and geographic data of the children who may receive these bonus deposits. “By further supporting the children who need financial assistance the most, we’re setting a generation of students up for success,” said Collins. “I’m proud to have passed this bill and I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their votes.” House Bill 4843 passed the House with bipartisan support, and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Congressional Candidate Jonathan Jackson Joined Leaders to Commemorate the Anniversary of Bloody Sunday CHICAGO - Jonathan Luther Jackson, who is running for congress in the 1st Congressional District of Illinois, said the Voting Rights Act has played a significant role in recent court victories where police misconduct, racism and other social injustices were in the national spotlight. If elected to Washington to replace longtime outgoing Congressman Bobby Rush, in a district that stretches from Chicago to parts of the city’s south suburbs and beyond, Jackson said he will support measures to restore and expand the landmark federal legislation, which granted all Americans the right to vote. In recent years, sections of the act have been gutted and, with the changes, some elected officials have resorted to efforts seen during the turbulent Jim Crow era to restrict voting. Jackson, 56, joined civil rights, religious and political leaders in Alabama to participate in events commemorating the 57th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” and the historic marches from Selma to Montgomery that highlighted the need for Congress to pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It is important for voters and citizens to know, he said, that Selma is not yesterday. The movement to protect the vote is relevant today. “The obstacles that denied African Americans the right to vote and denied them their citizenship are still being enforced,” he said. “When you are denied citizenship, you cannot be on a jury. When you are denied citizenship, you cannot vote. You cannot have participation or self-determination in our country.” Selma, Jackson said, is a bridge America crossed from a period of segregation to a period of voter registration and equal participation. Selma, he said, is a demarcation of the old Amer-
ica built on Slavocracy and the new true American democracy, where every man and every woman can vote regardless of their race, color and religion. “Those forces that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, do not want to see mass voter registration,” Jackson said. “They do not want to see increased voter participation. They want to talk now about counting the vote and the electoral college to limit participation. These are historical foes who have recreated themselves from old slave masters to new Jim and Jane Crows. We stand in opposition to this spirit. We are for voter registration and increasing participation in our country. I will support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which will restore the rights he and other brave leaders fought for 57 years ago.” For the unregistered voters, there are positive signs why they need to vote, Jackson said. Justice has been served in the high profile, racially charged murders of George Floyd, a Minneapolis man killed by a police officer, Ahmaud Arbery, a Georgia man killed by whites for simply running through their neighborhood, and others. “If you want the power to make a difference to stand up for Breonna Taylor, to be on the grand jury to weigh in on the opinion for Michael Brown, to be on the grand jury to talk about Tamir Rice, or Saundra Bland, or LaQuan McDonald and the many others, you have to be a registered voter, Jackson said. “This is why your vote matters,” Jackson said. “In order to participate, you have to be a registered voter. I don’t want to fix the blame but fix the problem. If elected, I want to increase voter registration, increase voter participation, so everyone can get to the polls and vote.”
Aspiring Black CPA Scholarship Announced; Applicants Sought The national initiative to award scholarships worth up to $5,000 each will provide immediate financial support to Black accounting students and professionals. In 1921, 25 years after the first certified public accountant (CPA) certificate was granted in the United States, John W. Cromwell Jr. became the first Black CPA. He opened a door through which thousands of Black accountants would eventually pass. Today, that door is being opened wider with the announcement of the Aspiring Black CPA Scholarship—a one-time national scholarship initiative established to provide immediate financial support for Black and African American accounting students and professionals pursuing the CPA credential. The Aspiring Black CPA Scholarship is supported by the Black CPA Centennial Fund, which raised nearly $84,000 as part of the 2021 Black CPA Centennial, a yearlong celebration honoring the 100th anniversary of Cromwell’s landmark achievement. “Our intent is to help pave the way for more Black individuals to pursue the CPA credential and succeed in a more diverse and inclusive CPA profession,” says Todd Shapiro, president and CEO of the Illinois CPA Society, speaking on behalf of the Black CPA Centennial’s organizing partners. “To do that, we must help these deserving students and professionals by meeting them where they are. We’re empowered to support as many individuals as possible by providing
unique and meaningful financial assistance to each recipient as they strive to overcome various financial barriers during their pursuit of the coveted CPA credential.” The scholarships may provide financial support for expenses related to preparing for or taking the CPA exam, including college tuition toward CPA eligibility, related classroom materials, CPA exam preparation courses, CPA exam application fees, tutors, and more. To be eligible for an Aspiring Black CPA Scholarship, an individual must identify as Black or African American; be a senior, graduate student, or professional pursuing the CPA license; intend to sit for the CPA exam within one year of applying for this scholarship; have not already completed all four sections of the CPA exam; demonstrate a commitment to the accounting/CPA profession; and demonstrate immediate financial need related to becoming a CPA. All eligible individuals are encouraged to apply at www.blackcpacentennial.cpa by the May 1, deadline. The Black CPA Centennial was a yearlong celebration in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the licensing of the first Black CPA in the United States, led by a consortium of organizing partners, including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Diverse Organization of Firms, Illinois CPA Society, National Association of Black Accountants, and National Society of Black CPAs.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS
REP. DANNY K. DAVIS ANNOUNCES $241 MILLION IN GRANTS FOR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE 7TH DISTRICT As our country marks the first anniversary of American Rescue Plan, U.S. Representative Danny K. Davis announced that the landmark law has delivered $241,214,184 to the 7th Congressional District’s colleges and universities in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. These investments are helping make institutions of higher education – especially community colleges – more affordable, while ensuring that 7th District of Illinois students stay on track to graduate. At least half of these funds are being used to provide direct financial relief to students. “By casting my vote for the American Rescue Plan, I was proud to help secure urgently-needed funding to strengthen colleges, universities, and students in my District. The City Colleges and universities will continue to use the funds to help students remain in college and thrive,” said Davis. Davis has served as one of the key Members of Congress promoting and securing funding for Predominantly Black Institutions – or PBIs. Across the country, the American Rescue Plan dedicated almost $1 billion to help PBIs and the low-income African American students they serve. PBIs located in and serving the 7th District are Malcolm X, Kennedy King, and East-West University. Chicago State University, while not physically-located in the 7th Congressional District, is a main enrollment center for 7th District students, is a PBI, and benefits from funding. Other local PBIs are Olive-Harvey, Prairie State College and South Suburban College. Illinois received over $1.3 billion for 207 colleges and universities. A few of these institutions in the 7th District are: • Columbia College Chicago, private institution; • Concordia College, private institution; • DePaul University, private institution; • Dominican University, private institution; • Harold Washington College, community college; • Illinois Institute of Technology, private institution; • Loyola University Chicago, private institution; • Moody Bible Institute, private institution; • Malcolm X College, community college and PBI; • National Louis University, private institution; • Roosevelt University, private institution; • School of the Art Institute of Chicago, private institution; • Spertus College of Judaica, private institution; • University of Illinois at Chicago, public institution and Minority Serving Institution; and • VanderCook College of Music, private institution. The American Rescue Plan delivered one of the largest one-time infusions of funding ever provided to America’s colleges and universities. Distributed by the U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF), these investments are already having a significant impact. A recent survey of college presidents by the American Council on Education found that HEERF enabled: • 93 percent of colleges to provide direct financial support to students at risk of dropping out • 81 percent of colleges to keep student net prices similar to pre-pandemic levels • 70 percent of colleges to continue to employ faculty, staff, and other employees otherwise at risk of unemployment • 63 percent of colleges to keep students and faculty safe by purchasing COVID-19 tests, health screenings, and health care. Belt supports measures to improve Illinois’ teacher shortage To address the teacher shortage, State Senator Christopher Belt (D-Swansea) supported the passage of a package of legislative measures to help recruit substitute teachers, teacher assistants and support educators in the classroom. According to the Illinois State Board of Education, there are more than 4,000 unfilled positions in schools. “As chair of the Senate Education Committee and a former school board member, I know how essential it is that we address the shortage head-on,” Belt said. “My colleagues and I have been working to combat the teacher shortage to ensure our children are getting the best educational experience and opportunities for their futures.” Belt supported the following legislative measures: Senate Bill 3915 – Would waive the application fee for short-term substitute teaching licensees when the governor has declared a disaster due to a public health emergency. Senate Bill 3988 – Would lower the age requirement for teacher assistants from 19 to 18 for those who work in pre-K to eighth grade classrooms. Senate Bill 3893 – Would extend the number of days substitute teachers can teach from 90 to 120 days for the next two years. Senate Bill 3914 – Would allow teachers to use two of their days off as mental health days, and that if a teacher needs three or more mental health days, the school district would require a note from a mental health professional. “The teacher shortage is a complex issue,” Belt said. “These measures are vital as we fight for the teachers who support and give our students every opportunity they deserve.” These legislative measures passed the Senate with bipartisan support and are in the House of Representatives for further consideration.

NEW YORK PRNewswire -- This spring, individuality shines through in Gap’s campaign, celebrating a dimensional cast of unique individuals radiating the profound joy that comes with the freedom of being your true self—your best self. Originating from all over the world, Gap’s individuals have defined themselves -- a collective of distinct backgrounds, experiences and truths unified by community and self-expression. “As a brand rooted in modern American optimism, we celebrate what it means to be your true self today,” says Mary Alderete, global head of Gap marketing. “This campaign is an honest reflection of individuals shaping culture by embracing their own paths—not what has been historically or traditionally defined for them, but what they define to be true for themselves. The campaign creative captures these creators pioneering a more inclusive, accepting world and putting their own distinctive stamp on American style.” Concepted by Gap Global Creative Director Len Peltier and shot by renowned fashion photographer Zoey Grossman (@zoeygrossman), the creative features noteworthy champions for social justice, environmentalism, women’s rights and more.
Gap’s individuals are breaking the mold, forging newfound personal freedoms and furthering progressive change. They are individuals living their truth, as described so powerfully in the campaign creative by non-binary trans-visibility artist Kai-Isaiah Jamal in their verse, ‘Dream of Freedom. Dream of Me’: And if there do be a dream The dream has to include me Otherwise ain’t gonna sleep Or close my eyes just to be If it do be a dream I hope this dream’s dream Is for me to be free Gap’s campaign cast includes: Dapper Dan (@dapperdanharlem) – legendary Harlem-based fashion designer and style influencer known for introducing high fashion to the hip hop world Shalom Harlow (@shalomharlow) – supermodel and student of the healing arts since age 8, Shalom is training in somatic psychology and somatic therapeutic modalities to help others in their chronic health challenges

CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ANNOUNCES MOVE TO MASK-OPTIONAL MODEL BEGAN MARCH 14 District will continue to encourage use of masks for students and staff “The adults in our school communities will set the tone during this transition,” said Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova. “I am confident that we will continue to support and respect one another through this next phase of the pandemic.”
CHICAGO - Chicago Public Schools (CPS) will move to a mask-optional model for staff and all students, pre-k through gr ade 12, began on Monday, March 14. While CPS will continue to encourage the use of masks, the shift will give families and empl oyees a choice about whether or not to wear a mask at school, out side on school property, and on school buses. “CPS was one of the first to require universal masking inschools, and we would not be moving to a mask- optional model unless the data and our public health experts indicated that it is safe for our school communities,” said CPS CEO Pedro Martinez. “W e will support our staff and students as we enter this new phase i n the pandemic and continue to move forward together.” The number of COVID-19 cases in schools and throughout thecity of Chicago has declined sharply over the past several weeks, while at the same time, vaccination rates among CPS students and staff are continuing to rise, and voluntary testing has dramatic allyincreased in schools. Vaccination rates to date: ● CPS COVID-19 vaccination rates are now near the national average for 12-17 year -old students (64 percent of CPS students age 12-17 have had at least a first dose, compared to 68 percent natiaonally). ● Rates are well above the national average for 5-1 1 year old students (47 percent of CPS students age 5-1 1 have had at least a first dose, compared to 33 percent nationally). ● Overall, 56 percent of age-eligible CPS students have received at least one dose, and nearly half (49 percent) are fu lly vaccinated. ● More than 91 percent of all CPS staf f members are fully vaccinated. Chicago is at low risk for COVID-19 by every metric, including the historic and current metrics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The city’s case counts and posi tivity are the lowest they have been since July 2021 and continue to fall. Chicago is now averaging just 191 cases of COVID-19 per day, among an average of more than 27,000 daily tests performed, giving a positivity rate of just 0.8%. CPS’ screening test positivity rate is dramatically lower than the city’ s, at 0.14 percent. The move to mask optional comes two years after the pandemic forced CPS and schools across the state to shut down. Since that time, CPS has relied on the guidance of local, state ,and federal public health experts who are now aligned in their
opinion that the risk of contracting COVID-19 in schools is very low. Most school districts across the country have already transitioned to a mask-optional model. The City of Chicago removed the mask requirements for certain public spaces on February 28 to align with the State of Illinois, and the CDC recently relaxed mask guidance for communities where hospitals aren’t under high strain. Chicago is currently in low risk per the new CDC guidance. CPS will continue to encourage the practice of wearing masks in schools, especially in schools with lower vaccination rates and among those students and staff who feel most comfortable with a face covering. The District will also support those members of its school communities who choose not to wear a mask, and will provide tools that teachers and parents can use to guide conversations with students about the importance of honoring and respecting everyone’s personal choice. “The adults in our school communities will set the tone during this transition,” said Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova. “I am confident that we will continue to support and respect one another through this next phase of the pandemic. Family and community situations may change and dictate if a student or staff member wears a mask and we all need to ensure that everyone feels welcome to continue the practice that makes them feel safest and most comfortable.” The District will continue many of its COVID-19 safety mitigation measures including voluntary on-site testing, contact tracing, and proper hand hygiene. Over the past two years, CPS has worked to improve and better monitor indoor air quality with a $15 million investment in HEPA air filters and a $141 million investment to improve mechanical system upgrades. The air quality of every classroom, in every building, based on a third par ty evaluation, is available on the District website. Students are not in rooms that have not passed the air quality assessments. CPS will share more information with families and staff before Monday, March 14 around how this change will impact the District’s various health and safety protocols. “The District has remained responsive to change throughout the pandemic and we must continue to remain nimble and pivot if the health data changes,” said CEO Martinez. “Our staf f and families must be confident that we will act quickly and impleme nt safety procedures as needed.”
