UIC receives $2.8M from private donor to increase early childhood education teacher preparation Continued from page 1 The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Education has received a $2.8 million gift to help expand the number of early childhood teachers in Chicago and surrounding areas.

The grant comes from Marjorie Pelino, who has a long history of aiding causes to help children and families from under-resourced communities.

It will cover a four-year period to fund a faculty project to develop and expand programing that will create a pipeline of early childhood education teachers. In addition, the project will provide increased access and opportunities for incumbent early childhood teachers to earn advanced credentials and degrees.

Pelino and her three daughters founded the Pelino Foundation, a family foundation, in 1996. Its focus is on providing opportunities to the disadvantaged, strengthening children and families and improving the quality of people’s lives. Grants focus primarily on education, health-related and social service programs for women and children in the Chicago area.

UIC’s gift is being made by Marjorie Pelino herself and is going to fund UIC’s efforts to increase and expand early childhood pro-

gramming in the College of Education. This effort will be led by Catherine Main, senior lecturer and coordinator of the UIC Early Childhood teacher preparation programs, with support from College of Education partners Kathleen Sheridan, associate professor in educational psychology and program coordinator of the Bachelor of Arts in Human Development and Learning Program, and Victoria Trinder, clinical assistant professor of curriculum and instruction and program coordinator of the Bachelor of Arts in Urban Elementary Education Program.

Pelino said she and her advisors at Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd. in Chicago were searching for vehicles to continue her philanthropic efforts when Main approached them with this proposal.

“I lean toward early childhood because I just feel that everything begins there,” Pelino said. “This program at UIC sounded exactly like what I would be interested in.”

The gift is to be divided over four years and will go toward addressing the early childhood workforce crisis in Chicago and surrounding areas. It will be done through a comprehensive approach targeting program development, enhancing programs, helping fund student scholarships and supporting efforts in the area of early childhood development in UIC’s College of Education, according to the proposal.

The effort comes as research has shown that high-quality early childhood care and education during the period of rapid brain growth of young children is integral for laying the foundation for success in school and life.

“If we are to reap the rewards of high-quality early childhood education programs for children and their families, then we must focus on the adults who care for and educate young children and the systems that prepare and support these early childhood educators,” Main said.

While research has shown the need, the reality is that there is an acute teacher shortage, high degree of teacher turnover and a lack of teacher diversity in lead teacher and administrative roles when it comes to early childhood education, according to the proposal. Across the state, the number of new teachers seeking licenses in early childhood education dropped by 56% over a 10-year period ending in 2017, according to the Illinois State Board of Education. Chicago officials expect there will be a need for an additional 1,500 early education teachers over the next three years.

UIC’s proposal is designed to provide a wide range of students with the educational opportunity only a leading research university can offer, address the challenges facing Chicago and other large urban cities, foster scholarships and practices that reflect and respond to the increasing diversity of the United States

and to train professionals in a wide range of public service disciplines.

“With the status as one of the nation’s premier urban public universities, UIC’s commitment to under-resourced communities and institutions separates it from the rest and makes it the perfect place to support teachers working with young children and their families in community-based programs,” Main said.

Pelino, who is a mother and grandmother, strongly believes that offering ways for children to be lifelong learners early on is crucial to help make a major impact on the lives of children, especially if they are in homes where families are struggling.

“From what I hear on television and read about, I know that if the children were exposed to education earlier it could change the course of their lives,” Pelino said. “I just feel like reaching these children at an earlier age would make a big difference.”

The gift comes as UIC approaches 72% of its $750M IGNITE Campaign goal, through which the university aims to support students, drive discovery, empower faculty and connect to communities. Pelino’s contribution will directly support the College of Education’s goals to prepare teachers, strengthen research and provide students a foundation for bright, successful futures.

We spoke to hundreds of prison gang members – here’s what they said about life behind bars

BY DAVID PYROOZ AND SCOTT H. DECKER

The United States incarcerates a larger proportion of its citizens than any other developed country in the world, with around 1.5 million people serving time in prison. But to anyone who doesn’t work or live in a facility, life behind bars largely remains a mystery.

The public gets a glimpse of life on the inside only when there are riots, executions or scandals.

As criminologists, we spent nine months interviewing over 800 prisoners in Texas in 2016. They told us about their lives before and during prison, as well as their impending return to the community, a journey shared by over 600,000 people each year.

We also learned about a significant reality in prisons: gangs.

Our new book pulls back the

curtain on how gangs compete for control and structure prison life.

Gangs wield power behind bars, but they are more fractured and have less control than people believe.

Getting in, getting out Despite fairly extensive research on street gangs, there is little research on gangs in prison.

Conducting research in prisons is rare because it is hard to gain access.

Prison officials tend to be riskaverse and loathe to let outsiders inside the walls. Even if researchers get inside, there’s the possibility that prisoners will not participate in interviews. When the topic is gangs, these issues are even bigger.

That was not our experience.

About half of the people we interviewed were affiliated with gangs.

Gang and nongang prisoners told us, “I’d rather talk to you than sit in my cell.” They saw the interview

as cathartic; they were able to “get things off their chest” to a neutral party.

The ‘war years’ Prison gangs exploded across the U.S. with the rise of mass incarceration in the 1980s. Texas prisons were mostly gang-free until bloody battles broke out in 1984-85 between the Mexican Mafia and Texas Syndicate as well as the Aryan Brotherhood and Mandingo Warriors. Fifty-two prisoners were murdered in a 21-month period that became known as the “war years.”

Over 50 different gangs were represented in our study. Most of these gangs were active in prison and on the street. All of the 12 “security threat groups,” or STGs as they are termed by prison officials, fit the classic view of prison gangs: organized, conspiratorial and violent. www.citizennewspapergroup.com

The remaining gangs are called “cliques.” If security threat groups are like criminal organizations, cliques are like a band of criminals without clear leadership, direction or structure.

Race and ethnicity mattered to all gangs. Geographic proximity is the great social sorter for street gangs; it is race and ethnicity for prison gangs. Nearly all of the prison gangs were composed of a single race or ethnicity.

The people we spoke with made it clear that prison gangs in Texas are not what they used to be. Prison gangs were described as “watered down,” no longer having the teeth to enforce rules, especially the security threat groups. Few prisoners, including gang members, believed that gangs brought order to prisons or made prisons safer, a claim often made about prison gangs. The perception of power is stronger than

its reality.

Wielding power While gangs may not have iron-fisted control over prison life, it would be wrong to think they lack influence. If gang members compose only a minority of prisoners, around 20% in Texas according to our research, how do they wield power?

Violence.

Gangs use violence to resolve disputes, discipline members and protect their interests. Stories of violence are passed down across generations to ensure the memory lives on. The “war years” occurred more than 30 years ago, yet still loom large in the minds of the people we interviewed.

Gangs bring a different flavor to prison violence. There is a multiplier effect. A violent incident involving Continued on page 3

Services Expanding During The COVID-19 Crisis The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) recently announced it is launching a $1.2 million plan to increase the capacity of its current statewide network of services for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

“While most Illinoisans are adhering to the Stay at Home order, not everyone has a safe home to go to. If you are experiencing domestic violence or live in fear of it, I know how much scarier or complicated the message of ‘Stay Home’ might sound. If that’s the case for you, please know that you can call our Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-877-863-6338 for help,” said Governor JB Pritzker.

“During times of crisis, there may be an increase in domestic and sexual violence, while barriers to services are compounded,” said IDHS Secretary Grace B. Hou. “The health and safety of survivors during COVID-19 is of the utmost importance to IDHS and Gov. Pritzker, and today’s actions will ensure that access to these critical services continues.”

The plan expands the role of the Domestic Violence Helpline by creating a one-stop access point for shelter needs. Survivors may call the Helpline directly at 1-877-

TO END DV (1-877-863-6338 voice or 1-877-863-6339 TTY) and be connected to shelter through existing Domestic Violence Prevention and Intervention (DVPI) shelter services or to emergency shelter through available hotels and motels. Survivors also may contact their local domestic violence programs for shelter assistance.

IDHS is also working with the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence to establish an emergency fund to support local providers with assistance needs related to COVID-19.

In addition, DVPI providers will receive a threemonth advance of their current grant to support continuations of services and respond to the needs of domestic violence survivors, such as hotels, emergency supplies, transportation, food, technology supports and other related services.

IDHS will provide the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault with a grant advance to enhance the capacity of local rape crisis centers statewide to aid sexual assault survivors. The agency also will advance grant funds to Partner Abuse Intervention Program grantees for programs costs related to COVID-19. More information about COVID-19 is available at www.CoronaVirus.Illinois.Gov.

‘All in Illinois’ Reinforces State’s Stay at Home Message Governor JB Pritzker recently launched a new statewide effort called ‘All in Illinois’ to reinforce the state’s core message, backed by scientists and public health experts: stay at home and stay safe. As Illinoisans continue to practice social distancing to stay healthy, ‘All in Illinois’ is a way to unite residents across the state and remind them we are all in this together.

“I’ve taken virtually every action available to me to protect our residents and slow the spread, and now, our strongest weapon against COVID-19 is you,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “For everyone in Illinois, we as individuals must commit to stay home, stay safe and practice social distancing to stay healthy. I’m asking you to join us

and be all in for Illinois.”

All in Illinois is supported by a series of public service announcements featuring famous Illinois natives, including Jane Lynch, Deon Cole, Jason Beghe, Jackie Joyner Kersee and Matt Walsh. The PSA videos reinforce the importance of staying at home during the COVID-19 crisis and encourages everyone to do their part to stop the spread of the virus. The PSA celebrity videos can be viewed by visiting Allin.Illinois.gov.

“We are grateful to all of our well-known Illinoisans for participating in this effort to unite all of our residents during these trying times,” said Erin Guthrie, director of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. “We

are confident these messages will help increase awareness of how critical it is to stay home and work together to flatten the curve of this virus.”

People can also show their solidarity by updating their Facebook profile photos with the All in Illinois frame image and share messages with friends and family on social media using the #AllinIllinois hashtag.

Additionally, Illinois residents can show they’re committed to being part of the solution by displaying All in Illinois signage in their yard or in their window.

We spoke to hundreds of prison gang members – here’s what they said about life behind bars Continued from page 2 a gang member expands the pool of future victims and offenders because of the collective gang identity. Being in a gang means assuming these liabilities.

Joining the gang For the uninitiated, prison is scary. People are stripped of their identity, roles and status from the outside. About half of the prison population is convicted of a violent offense. Joining a gang would seem like a pretty good decision.

Our research reveals that about 10% of inmates in Texas joined a gang for the first time in prison, while another 10% imported their gang affiliation from the street.

Status and protection were common reasons for joining a gang in prison, much like on the street.

But ideology was also important, such as race supremacy or vigilantism, which we rarely observe in street gangs.

Still, most prisoners don’t end up in gangs. That’s true even though avoiding gangs is harder in prison than on the street. Nongang members get their affiliations “checked” and are often recruited when they step onto a prison unit. Those that want to avoid gangs cite their religion, homosexuality or even status as sex offenders – most gangs ban inmates convicted of sex crimes – as reasons to not to join.

Blood in, blood out It was once believed that once you join a gang you could never leave. Criminologists have dispelled this myth among street gangs; young people leave gangs regularly, and usually without repercussions like violence. We also found this to be the case in prison, even for the security threat groups.

Disillusionment is the leading reason for leaving. Gang members

eventually realize they are sold a bill of goods on gangs. Snitching, victimization, solitary confinement and delayed parole crystallize discontent with gang life.

Leaving a gang is more difficult in prison. Walking away is not a credible option. Gang members sought permission or “gave notice” of intentions to leave, or enrolled in the prison system’s two-year exit program.

Block the on-ramps, open the off-ramps Despite decades of effort, breaking the grip of gangs on prison has been unsuccessful.

The “silver bullet” simply doesn’t exist.

Placing gang members in solitary confinement is thought to be a solution, but that’s a management approach. It applies a Band-Aid to a bullet wound that could hurt more than help. And one-size-fits-all approaches to rehabilitation ignore the baggage of gang affiliation.

To compete for control, gangs need numbers, which is why focusing on points of entry and exit offers hope for reducing the power of gangs in attracting new members and encouraging current members to leave.

Doing nothing only allows the problem to fester and grow.

Prisoners today will eventually become the neighbors, religious congregants and employees of tomorrow. We want people to leave prison in a condition better than they arrived. That means effective responses to gangs.

Flikflix Pledges 100% of Revenue from “The Invisible Man,” “Emma.,” and Other Movies, Until Theaters Reopen Flikflix recently announced its commitment to theater owners and their staff with the “Flikflix Gives” campaign.

“Theaters are just one example of how this nation’s businesses have lost an opportunity to earn income.” said Flikflix CEO and Founder Bill Denk. “Fortunately, our small, bootstrapped startup can still remain open during a shelter-inplace. But, we wanted to do more. Our friends in healthcare and essential businesses are putting their lives on the line every single day. We can’t match that. But the ‘Flikflix Gives’ initiative provides us with the ability to give to those in need while people are being entertained.”

Flikflix is a free download on the Apple App Store. Through its Tinder-simple interface, the app recommends content that people will enjoy on video services they already have. People can also search for a show, and learn where it’s streaming.

When people see “Flikflix Gives” on the video service’s button and tap to rent or pur-

Flikflix, a free download on the Apple App Store, helps people to discover content on the popular video services they already use. When a person taps from Flikflix to watch a “Home Premiere” on one of their favorite services, Flikflix will give 100% of its revenue from that movie (and 70% for all others marked “Flikflix Gives”), to assist theater owners and staff affected by COVID-19.

chase, Flikflix will dedicate the affiliate revenue received to assist theaters.

“We believe it’s a win for everyone,” said Denk. “The consumer pays no more for a rental or purchase (and gets a much needed entertainment break.) The video services and studios get paid as they normally would.

We’re simply giving our portion of revenue to theaters and staff who are currently out of the revenue loop.”

How much can Flikflix give? Denk said, “It depends upon the number of people renting and purchasing. But, here are those numbers.

For a ‘Home Premiere’ we receive $1.35 affiliate income (from the $19.99 rental). We’re giving the full $1.35. All other rentals and purchases will range from $0.30 up to $1.00. It all depends upon the price paid.”

Flikflix Gives continues until U.S. theaters reopen.

The app is available as a free app in the Apple App Store for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

TRAVEL

United Airlines Partners with New York City to Fly Medical Volunteers to Help in COVID-19 Fight United Airlines is partnering with New York City to provide free round-trip flights for medical volunteers who want to help in the frontline fight against the COVID-19 crisis. The airline is working closely with the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and a network of medical volunteer organizations, including The Society of Critical Care Medicine, to coordinate travel for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals from across the country to help treat patients, in this time of unprecedented need.

“Our healthcare workers are heroes, and they need reinforcements,” said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. “This generous partnership with United Airlines will ensure medical professionals from across the country can come to New York City to help us in our hour of need.”

“The New Yorkers working on the frontlines of COVID-19 have been and continue to be incredibly brave and tireless in their efforts,” said Toya Williford, executive director of the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. “To know there are health

care heroes across the country who are willing to step in and lend their support, and that United stands ready to fly them here, is wonderfully heartening. The Mayor’s Fund is deeply grateful for our trusted partners in the business community during these trying times.”

The need for medical volunteers has never been more important in New York City, which as of today has more than 50,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the most of any U.S. city.

“We are profoundly grateful for the extraordinarily talented and selfless individuals who are working around the clock and have an unwavering commitment to support our communities and medical providers at this time of exceptional need,” said Jill Kaplan, president, New York / New Jersey for United Airlines. “It is our hope that providing air travel at no cost will allow additional dedicated volunteers and first responders the ability to reach the Tri-State area, that has been hit hardest by COVID-19.”

United is working with local government agencies and their

non-profit partners to ensure qualified medical professionals are staffed in hospitals best suited to their areas of expertise and have the proper housing and transportation to enable them to effectively offer their services. The airline is also closely collaborating with a network of professional medical volunteer organizations to help further enlist volunteers who have offered their support in this time of great need.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is one of those extraordinary times that demonstrates how we come together www.citizennewspapergroup.com

as a profession to provide desperately needed assistance and care,” said Society of Critical Care Medicine President, Lewis J Kaplan, M.D., FCCM. “We are so proud that, despite the risk, critical care professionals are among those who have volunteered to drop everything and help their New York colleagues during this crisis. We are especially thankful that United Airlines is providing complimentary airfare so that volunteers can get to New York quickly and hit the ground running.”

United plans to expand this pro-

gram to additional areas in the TriState region and beyond to allow more volunteers to offer their vitally important services in the places that need them most.

Food pantry pivots during COVID-19

BY TIA CAROL JONES

Local food pantries have seen an increase in the number of people who need their resources during the COVID-19 outbreak and food pantries are having to change the way food is distributed.

Thornton Township Food Assistance Center, located on 15340 Page Ave., in Harvey, Ill., is one of the food pantries that has had to change with the times brought on by the global pandemic.

Ernst Lamothe is the community relations manager for Thornton Township. He said the food pantry program has been going on for years in the township, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on each Wednesday. In the past, people were able to do drive-up service or go inside to get a food bag, he said.

“On an average, we served about 400 families each Wednesday. Then, the pandemic happened and over the last couple of weeks that number has jumped to 2,100,” Lamothe stated.

“And now, we’re doing only curbside, where people can drive through to our facility in their car. And, our staff, as well as the Cook County Sheriff ’s Office,” is helping to load the boxes into people’s cars, he added.

Thornton Township consists of 17 different communities in the South Suburbs and represents more than 180,000 residents.

Lamothe said his boss, Thornton Township Supervisor Frank Zuccarelli, does a good job of thinking a couple of steps ahead. So, not

only was the Thornton Township Food Assistance Center getting food from the Greater Chicago Food Depository, they would also use the funds to get food from Walt’s and other grocery stores and buy in bulk.

“We’re always thinking several steps

ahead. We were shocked at the numbers jumping up so fast. We’ve been able to accommodate them every week so far,” Lamothe said. “We’ve had great donations from Walt’s,” he said, who offered gallons of milk as well as other organizations who are

making donations.

Lamothe said at 9 a.m., it is common to see four blocks full of cars lined up to get a food bag. He said they were shocked by the number of people because the township did not advertise.

The food boxes include a combination of perishable and non-perishable items including cans, spaghetti, bread, milk, chicken and juice.

Lamothe said the food pantry shows the importance of township government.

“Sometimes you don’t know what you need until you need it,” he added. “And, this is kind of shown with the numbers jumping up, that if not for us, a lot of people wouldn’t know how to feed their families. A lot of people wouldn’t know where to go for some of these services,” he said.

Zuccarelli said it shows the reach of township government. “We’ve heard a lot recently about how township government is antiquated and should be done away with,” he added. But Zuccarelli said what the township is experiencing now is an example of how township government is on the “front lines,” he said, and “providing meaningful help to families in need.”

The township has a responsibility to help people, Zuccarelli added, “and we’re meeting that charge every day,” he said.

Jay King Calls on Private Sector to Assist Small Black Businesses Amid the Coronavirus Crisis Jay King, the chief executive officer and president of the California Black Chamber of Commerce (CBCC), is initiating a statewide call to action to the private sector, requesting banks, multinational corporations, the technology industry, and philanthropic organizations to create funding for grants for African American small business owners as they struggle to survive amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

As the largest African American non-profit business organization, representing hundreds of small and emerging businesses, affiliates and chambers of commerce throughout California, the CBCC is extremely concerned about the aftermath of COVID-19 which has immobilized and shut down businesses around the entire world.

The United States Census Bureau statistics show that African Americans make up more than 13%

Jay King

of the U.S. population, but only own 7% of the businesses.

It is the CBCC’s fear that the current pandemic has jeopardized the already compromised position small Black business owners face, not just crippling but perhaps even decimating an already fragile community.

According to The Road to

Zero Wealth report published far before the impact of the current Coronavirus event, by Prosperity Now and the Institute for Policy Studies in 2017, the median wealth of black Americans could fall to zero by 2053.

King is seeking fast and deliberate measures to mitigate what he foresees as a fallout that would take decades to recover from.

“Financial giants like Bank of America and Wells Fargo have the means to provide the resources we seek. They have already set in place grants benefitting homeowners in marginalized communities. We are asking for similar efforts for our business owners,” explains King.

“We are publicly imploring financial institutions in the private sector, along with the government, for aid that is critical to our long-term survival.

“Historically, since the Emancipation Proclamation, African American businesses have www.citizennewspapergroup.com

suffered a uniquely disadvantaged position in this country, from predatory lending and discriminatory banking practices to racism and bigotry. After our experience as slaves in servitude to this country, our climb back into respectful positions in society has been deliberately challenged by our very own government, government agencies, elected officials and law enforcement leaders,” adds King. “Now with the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, the Chamber is urgently engaged in seeking immediate solutions.”

Jay King was elected president of the California Black Chamber of Commerce in June of 2019. He was voted in as CEO by the board of directors and holds the post in a permanent capacity. In less than a year, he has worked tirelessly as an advocate for African American small business owners.

King bears three decades of

continuous achievements in the entertainment industry with accomplishments that include management, consulting and publishing in music, film, and television. He is the founder of the Grammy Award-winning pop group, Club Nouveau, and can be heard daily sharing his insight on politics and popular culture trends on his morning talk show, “Kings in the Morning,” Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PT at www.thejaykingnetwork.com. The show is celebrating eleven years on the air.

For more information on the California Black Chamber of Commerce, go to https://www. calbcc.org/.

Jay King is requesting that concerned private and financial institutions reach out to him at the California Black Chamber of Commerce via email at cbcc@ calbcc.org or at 916-467-8878.
