in civil rights for women, people of color, immigrants, religious minorities, the disabled, the LGBTQIA community, and many other vulnerable groups, is in danger of being erased.

We stand in solidarity with our partners, children, and allies for the protection and in defense of our rights, our safety, and our individual voices,” organizers stated.

“As the Illinois organizers for the March, we invite all women and our allies to join this national effort and turn fear into direct, positive action by demanding protection of civil rights for all Americans,” said spokeswoman Chakraborty. “It is our vision that the Women’s March on Washington will be a springboard for action and will galvanize the hundreds of thousands of marchers to return to their local communities and participate in a multitude of local efforts directed at positive social change.”

The work of the Illinois chapter has already been endorsed and aided by Chicago Women Take Action (CWTA), the National Organization of Jewish Women (NOJW), Rainbow PUSH Coalition, among other organizations and local advocacy groups.

The national efforts have been lauded and supported by organizations such as Amnesty International, National Organization for Women (NOW), The Gathering for Justice, CHIRLA, 1199 SEIU, and many more.

The Illinois organizers are calling for partnerships and community allies to help with a wide range of support, including but not limited to: getting the word out through meetings and social networks, sponsorships/ donations for marchers who need assistance to go to D.C., and forming a statewide network of support and resources for Illinois marchers.

Center Expands HIV Services CHICAGO – While African Americans are the racial/ethnic group most affected by HIV in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Erie Family Health Center is now offering its comprehensive Lending Hands for Life (LHL) program for people living with HIV at the Erie Foster Avenue Health Center in Albany Park, located at 5215 N. California. This new service site will expand the current efforts of Erie’s LHL program, offering HIV primary care, lab services and case management services, among others, to additional patients.

Since 1989, Erie Family Health Center has been providing comprehensive HIV treatment and prevention services through the Lending Hands for Life Program (LHL), housed at the Erie Humboldt Park Health Center.

Today, the program serves more than 360 patients per year utilizing an individualized data-driven approach to care.

An Erie team comprised of medical providers, behavioral health professionals and care coordinators, discusses each patient and determines how to meet their individual goals; the program also offers testing and treatment for HIV/ AIDS, including pre-exposure prophylaxis treatment for individuals at high-risk of acquiring HIV. This individualized data-driven approach is proving effective for patients—92 percent of LHL patients are retained in medical care—meaning that they are keeping

their appointments and adhering to their medications.

Additionally, 91 percent of Erie LHL patients have achieved an undetectable viral load (the level of HIV in their blood). In comparison, in 2014 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that only 40 percent of people living with HIV were engaged in medical care and 30 percent had a viral load that was undetectable.

“We are seeing a significant increase in the number of HIV positive patients at Erie who are making progress in managing this disease, specifically those with a suppressed viral load,” said Bridget Magner, Manager of Erie’s LHL program. “The LHL’s interdisciplinary team approach to caring for patients is in keeping with our focus on high-quality, compassionate holistic care. We believe this combined effort is having an impact on the fight against HIV/AIDS.” The Erie team’s individualized approach includes contacting patients to ensure they are keeping medical appointments, dental visits and eye exams; providing CTA Ventra cards or other assistance as needed, including referrals to external partners for legal assistance; and coordinating regular onsite visits with a dietitian and pharmacist to meet with patients.

Briefly Make A New Year’s Resolution To Volunteer In 2017 SPRINGFIELD – Illinoisans donated millions of dollars to charity in 2016, while also contributing millions of hours of service with a value of more than $7 billion. The Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service (Serve Illinois) would like to top that number and is asking everyone to resolve to volunteer more in 2017.

Thousands of community organizations are in desperate need for volunteers throughout the year, and many of those opportunities go unfilled. A great way to find a place to volunteer is by visiting www.Serve.Illinois. gov, where you can search through more than 2,500 volunteer opportunities throughout Illinois.

“When we ask people why they don’t volunteer, they tell us that they either didn’t know where to go or no one asked them to,” said Scott McFarland, Executive Director of Serve Illinois. “We are addressing both those issues with www.Serve.Illinois.gov. Anyone can serve. Even if you only have an hour to give, there is an organization that needs that hour.”

PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP MEETS WITH BLACK CELEBRITIES

By Lauren Victoria Burke (NNPA Newswire Contributor) In an effort to show that he plans to be the “president for all Americans” and to bolster support in the Black community, President-elect Donald Trump recently met with a number of Black celebrities and businessmen including rapper Kanye West, billionaire Robert Johnson and NFL Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Ray Lewis.

Unlike so many other visitors to Trump Tower, Trump greeted West in the lobby; members of the media snapped pictures and yelled questions.

“We’ve been friends for a long time,” Trump told reporters at the end of the meeting. “We discussed life.”

With rumors swirling that Trump is having difficulty finding someone to perform at his January 20, 2017 inaugural, there was unconfirmed speculation that West may serve as some form of entertainment at an inaugural event.

In a separate meeting, Trump talked to Brown and Lewis about economic empowerment in the Black community and urban development. Trump recently selected famed neurosurgeon and presidential candidate Ben Carson to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

After the meeting, Brown said that he fell in love with Trump, “because he really talks about helping African-American, Black people. That’s why I’m here.”

Brown continued: “When he goes through what he went through to become the president, he got my admiration, because no one gave him a chance.”

CNN contributor and former HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill expressed concerns about Brown’s comments during a recent segment on the network.

“I don’t have a problem with Jim Brown saying, look, we want to do urban development,” said Hill. “We want housing. We want to make demands of you, but to say you ‘fell in love with’ Donald Trump or his platform or his campaign to me is disturbing.”

Hill added: “That’s not to suggest that Donald Trump didn’t have any real Black friends. But when [you] look at where his political commitments and economic investments are, they don’t suggest any kind of care for the Black community.”

On the same morning of West’s visit the Trump transition team announced that Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson was selected as Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State. Tillerson is yet another businessman with close ties to Russia who has no foreign policy or federal government experience.

President Obama once called Kanye West a “jackass”; he was also quick to add that West was talented.

Over the years, Trump has been in the company of several African American celebrities including Mike Tyson, Don King and Russell Simmons. Most of those affiliations appear to be related to charity events and other happenings around New York City.

So far, Trump has selected Steven Mnuchin for Secretary of Treasury; Elaine Chao for Secretary of Transportation; Wilbur Ross for Secretary of Commerce; Rep. Mike Pompeo as CIA Director; Jeff Sessions for Attorney General; South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as Ambassador to the United Nations; Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education; Rep. Tom Price for Health and Human Services; Ben Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Mick Mulvaney as the director of White House Office of Management and Budget; and Vincent Viola for the Secretary of the Army.

DEVRY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM $100 MILLION FTC SETTLEMENT New Federal Educational Requirements Designed to Eliminate More Fraud

By Charlene Crowell (NNPA Newswire Columnist)

For the third time in two years, a large for-profit college has faced charges of defrauding its students. This time the charges stem from promises of jobs and incomes that never materialized.

On December 15, the suburban Chicago-based DeVry University agreed to a $100 million settlement to end a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Filed in January, the FTC charged that from 2008 to 2015 the for-profit institution engaged in deceptive marketing and advertising.

According to FTC, prospective DeVry students were told in recruitment and in advertising that 90 percent of its graduates secured employment in their chosen fields within six months of matriculation. A second institutional promise was that one year following graduation they would earn incomes that were 15 percent higher than those earned by graduates from other colleges and universities.

Under the settlement terms, DeVry will pay $49.4 million in cash to qualifying students who were harmed by the deceptive ads, as well as provide $50.6 million in debt relief. The debt being forgiven includes the full balance owed—$30.35 million—on all unpaid private student loans that DeVry issued to undergraduates between September 2008 and September 2015, and $20.25 million in student debts for items such as tuition, books and lab fees.

“When people are making important decisions about their education and their future, they should not be misled by deceptive employment and earnings claims,” said FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez. “The FTC has secured compensation for the many students who were harmed, and I am pleased that DeVry is changing its practices.”

Once approved by federal courts, DeVry will be required to immediately notify the students who will receive debt relief as well as credit bureaus and collection agencies of the impending debt forgiveness. DeVry will also release transcripts and diplomas previously withheld from students due to outstanding debt, and will cooperate with future requests for diplomas and transcripts and related enrollment or graduation information.

This most recent settlement is yet another reminder of how some of the largest for-profit colleges have failed their students and caused them to become indebted without the educational

Even for borrowers who did not default, interest rates were more than twice as expensive as interest rates on federal loans.

Corinthian Colleges was forced in 2015 to close its 107 campuses while its parent organization, ECMC Group agreed to multiple stipulations that included: • $480 million in debt relief for Genesis loan borrowers; • An end to improper debt collection practices; and • The removal of negative information from student borrowers’ credit reports.

ST. LOUIS-- The Peiffer Rosca Wolf law firm filed a class action in the Circuit Court for St. Louis County, Missouri, alleging discrimination against two African American female employees in late 2015.

The lawsuit alleges that after an African American female employee of the defendants made claims of sexual harassment against a white male assistant manager, she was put on two week unpaid leave, and then multiple African American female employees were fired, including the plaintiffs to the suit.

Additionally, the lawsuit alleges “…during the period of Friday’s ‘investigation,’ the assistant manager… who was accused of sexual harassment was promoted to the manager of the Downtown St. Louis Friday’s.”

The lawsuit contains eight counts: race discrimination, race by association discrimination, sex discrimination, and retaliatory discharge for each plaintiff.

The Experts At George Street Photo & Video Identify Top Wedding Trends For 2017 CHICAGO - As a premier, award-winning wedding photography company that spans more than 40 cities, George Street Photo & Video is uniquely qualified to predict the hottest trends that are sure to be part of many nuptials throughout 2017. And there are five trends – from fashion to food to photography – that the experts at George Street expect to see couples embrace in the new year, as they look for creative ways to personalize their big day and make it even more memorable for everyone involved.

“Couples want to make their day a true reflection of themselves and their love for each other,” says Nicole Ettenhofer, director of marketing and public relations for George Street.

“These creative trends for 2017 are things we’ve been seeing more of lately, and we expect them to really take off in the coming months.”

w DECADENT DONUTS: Why get rid of the traditional wedding cake in favor of donuts?

Because you might as well give the people what they love – fried pastries! Plus, donuts are a memorable replacement for cake, especially if you get creative with the presentation.

CROWNS: Bridal crowns are hot and can be created to achieve almost any look -- from a romantic floral crown to a glamorous crown of jewels. Brides have embraced crowns for their flattering look and because they’re a departure from the expected.

MISMATCHED BRIDESMAIDS’ DRESSES: Brides are often relieved to hear that mismatched dresses for the bridal party are not only acceptable but “en vogue.” After all, it can be difficult and stressful to find one perfect dress that is the right fit for each person and her fashion preferences.

NIGHT VIEWS: Gorgeous wedding photos taken at night are a hot trend, thanks to the romantic, modern look of evening landscapes and starry skies. Photographers can get especially creative with lighting after the sun goes down.

ONLINE PLANNING: We do everything else online, so why not plan a wedding that way? It can be the most time-efficient method of shopping around for locations and services and finding great ideas.

Couples can also use the George Street Photo & Video online planning guide.

Comcast Cable Accepting Proposals for Two New African American Owned Independent Networks Comcast Cable recently announced the company is now accepting proposals for two substantially African American owned, independent networks that it will launch in select Comcast markets by January 2019.

The announcement is part of the company’s commitment to launch independently owned and operated networks as part of a series of public interest commitments made

by Comcast in connection with the NBCUniversal transaction completed in 2011. Since the NBCUniversal transaction, Comcast has successfully launched over 20 independent networks, doubling the number of independent networks launches that it committed to as part of the transaction. Four of those networks were launched as a result of a public request for channels that satisfied the criteria established in several agreements between Comcast and leading diversity organizations: two African American majority owned networks (ASPiRE and REVOLT) and two Hispanic American operated networks (Baby First Americas and El Rey). Additionally, two substantially Hispanic American owned networks, Kids Central and Primo TV, will launch on Comcast Cable systems beginning in January 2017.

“We are looking forward to receiving another round of great proposals as we begin the process to launch two more African American majority owned networks,” said Justin Smith, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisition for Comcast Cable.

Criteria for selecting the next two substantially African American owned networks that Comcast will launch include: the content of the network; whether the network is fully financed; whether the network’s ownership and/or management group(s) are well established, have relevant experience, and are substantially owned by African Americans; whether the network is already launched and has existing or potential multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) distribution; price; and whether the network and its potential carriage provide value to Comcast and its customers.

Comcast will accept proposals for every major genre, including general entertainment, movies, music, kids, news, and sports.

Applicants may visit http://corporate. comcast.com/diverseprogramming to submit a proposal and learn about the terms and conditions. Proposals are due by March 15, 2017, and the two networks will be selected in the coming months.

COULD RELIGION BE GETTING THE BACK SEAT IN COLLEGE? (FAMU-TALLAHASSEE) – Being away from home with newfound freedom creates the perfect mixture of circumstances for college students who want to place their religion on the back burner. For many, the college lifestyle involves partying while mixing their obligations to education. As a result, college students are minimally, if ever, focused on their religion.

“College is like a whole other world,” said DeKierra Barber, a senior pre-physical therapy student at Florida A&M University, who believes she is not 100 percent religious. “You have the parties, Greek life and extracurricular activities,” said Barber. “Religion just ends up going down on students’ priority list. I think that students get sucked into the college lifestyle.”

Students leave their parents’ household and are no longer bound by the rules that governed them.

Pastor Dave Hess from Every Nation Tallahassee, who is also a campus pastor at Florida A&M University, said, “I think a lot of people never really believed the teachings of their so-called religion in the first place. When they got to college, away from the supervision of their parents, they begin to live out what they had really believed and what they really wanted to do all along.” Hess continued, “Some people actually become more serious about their beliefs during college. This was my experience when I was a student.

I was close to walking away from my

forget the values that their parents instilled in them,” she said.

Asonya Tomlinson, a freshman nursing student from Miami, thinks people may be frustrated with how religious practices affect society.

“There are a lot of homosexuals in the world, and religious acts hold up reasons why they can’t get married and get judged differently than everyone else.”

There is really no correct answer when asked if religion is really getting left behind in college. Every college is different, as is every student. Making time to find a campus ministry and getting involved is always a good option for those who want to continue their faith after starting college. Sometimes just making that connection will be the difference between spiritual isolation and the development of a faith-filled home away from home.

Christian faith, but when I began to study it more seriously I became a convinced believer.”

Students may turn from religion because the teachings of scripture may conflict or may not condone the activities students engage in. A lot of students feel they will be looked down upon by the church. Darnica Hookfin, a third year history student from Cleveland, who is also the vice-president of Every Nation Tallahassee campus ministries, said, “If your faith wasn’t well-grounded, it was easily shaken.” Hookfin believes higher education is moving students away from religion. “When people get to college, they
