TAKING TO THE STREETS: Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU workers march downtown on Oct. 17, the first day of the strike. Teachers also picketed outside of schools across the city, including Michele Clark High School, below, in Austin.

At locations downtown and on West Side, striking CPS teachers demand resources By MICHAEL ROMAIN & IGOR STUDENKOV Editor & Contributing Reporter

When the Chicago Teachers Union announced that it would strike on Oct. 17—the first teachers’ strike in the city since 2012 — Austin Weekly News reporters spread out to different rallying points throughout the city on the first and second days of the strike (the two were before the paper’s Monday print deadline). These are our sights, smells and sounds. Day one (Thursday, Oct. 17, 10 a.m.), outside of DePriest Elementary School, 139 S. Parkside Ave.

When DePriest Elementary School was rebuilt in 2003, it featured 24 new classrooms and a library/media center. The school, relative to other Chicago Public Schools buildings, is still new. But peel back the school’s modern façade and a problem arises. “We have a big library, but no librarian,” said Ackisha Reynolds, a 41-year-old teacher at DePriest who has been in the profession for two decades. “How do you have a library with no librarian? It’s just a room.” Reynolds was among the roughly 32,000 educators who took to the picket lines on Oct. 17, the first day of the Chicago Teachers Union strike. Reynolds was on her way downtown to a rally convened by CTU in the Loop, at around 1:30 p.m. Before leaving Reynolds recalled the last time the teachers struck in 2012.

CAPS 11th District • Commander Darrell F. Spencer

One hundred and twenty years ago this month, the Illinois Supreme Court handed down a decision that “fixes the status of Austin,” according to a report, titled, “Austin’s Strange Plight,” published in the Inter Ocean newspaper on Oct. 21, 1899. “The decision is peculiar in that it reverses the ordinary course of annexation,” the writer explained. “The principle governing such action heretofore has been that the wishes of the people in the territory to be annexed must be observed. But under this decision of Thursday the right of the people of Austin to say whether they will accept the municipal authority of Chicago or not is, in effect, denied.” Although Austin, as a definable place, had been created in 1865 by Oak Park developer Henry Austin, the community was governed by Cicero Township, which comprised 10 member communities, including Cicero, Oak Park, Berwyn and Austin. In 1899, according to Amanda I. Seligman’s Block by Block: Neighborhoods and Public Policy on Chicago’s West Side, “longstanding tensions between rival interests in Oak Park and Austin peaked.” That’s when “Austin voters approved the extension of the Lake Street Elevated as far west as Austin Boulevard, to the chagrin of Oak Park residents, who feared the arrival of inexpensive transportation would encourage working-class migration into Cicero.

“To punish Austin, the town board voted to detach it from Cicero and annex the community into Chicago.” Despite most residents of Austin voting against the referendum to allow annexation, the Supreme Court ruled in Cicero’s favor anyway because Austinites also elected to be governed by Cicero “and Cicero,” the Inter Ocean writer explained, “had the power to designate any part of its territory for annexation” by Chicago. The decision would instantly make Austin one of the city’s largest neighborhoods. The courts allowed annexation because state law, as of April 4, 1899, “permitted, as in the case of Austin, annexation without representation. The power of the Legislature to pass such laws, the court held, cannot be questioned.” In an article published in the Inter Ocean the next day, Oct. 22, 1899, a writer explained that “no other part of Cicero will ever be compelled to come in against its own wishes. As the law of annexation has stood ever since July 1 of this year, there can be no annexation without the consent of the governed. “However, Austin will hardly pose as a martyr,” the writer continued. “It may be confidently expected that as the Thirty-Fifth ward, it will soon be proud of its new urbanity, and will look back upon its Cicero days as merely preparatory to a more useful municipal career.” One hundred and twenty years later, it’s left to those now living here to consider how useful a career that’s been.

Trees planted in Austin One of Austin’s most active community gardens got even greener on Saturday Oct. 19. Harambee garden at Midway Park and Waller is the oldest and longest-surviving of 11 gardens started by the group Root Riot, garden co-founder Seamus Ford said. The open space where an apartment building stood 45 years ago was owned by a bankrupt developer and a series of banks until NeighborSpace purchased it a year ago to develop it into a community space. NeighborSpace supplied 26 trees for volunteers to plant on Oct. 19 with the help of Openlands Tree Keepers. Pecan trees, which bear nuts after 11 years, were planted inside the garden. Along the streets, native Illinois trees were planted for shade, including Kentucky coffee (not really coffee but they do produce bean-like pods), bur oak, black gum and swamp white oak, and a chinquapin.

presents A Wednesday Journal & A Tribe Called Aging Production

wabi sabi F I L M F E S T I V A L

Appreciating the beauty of impermanence, a quarterly Film Series encouraging everyone to embrace and respect our aging population and the transformation of our society.

First Film Event: Friday, October 25th

On Golden Pond

The Lake Theatre, 1022 Lake Street, Oak Park 10am, film presentation followed by discussion • Admission: $2

What the heck is the Wabi Sabi Film Festival?

t the Lake Theater in downtown Oak Park! Friday morning, Oct. 25, 10 a.m. On Golden Pond. Tickets are $2 each. Yep, $2.00.

This is a film festival about aging, a film festival for older people, though everyone is welcome to attend. Following the film, stay in your seats; we’ll have an interactive discussion about topics from each film. Every three months we’ll show a different film connected to the theme of aging, with a guest celebrity, followed by interactive discussion (we reached out to Jane). And the Lake Theatre popcorn is mouth-wateringly delicious! The first film to be shown in the Wabi Sabi Film Festival is On Golden Pond, starring Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda (with Jane).

Admission: $2 • Tickets available day of event at The Lake Theatre, 1022 Lake St, Oak Park Signature Sponsors

By the way, wabi sabi isn’t the green spicy stuff at the sushi restaurant. It is the Japanese world view that appreciates the beauty of impermanence. As I write in my current blog on the IONS website (noetic.org/blog/aging-is-inherently- noetic/): The Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi is an appreciation of the beauty of impermanence — like the wooden banister in an aging house, stroked by thousands of hands over the years, wobbly, chipped, out of alignment, yet oh so beautiful. Teenagers strive for instant Wabi Sabi by buying already torn and ripped blue jeans, but they fall short. Wabi Sabi takes time, as does reaching our noetic phase of life. And like that aged wooden bannister, older people can be wrinkled and wobbly and still be beautiful people.

Host and moderator, Elizabeth White, author of 55, Underemployed and Faking Normal. Ms. White will introduce the film and facilitate the in-theater interactive discussion following the movie.

Buying that new car

finally bought a new car. One of the best features is that I now have that rear-view camera. No longer will I have to worry about the sudden appearance of a fire hydrant or tree or person! I also got heated seats. At my age, the warmth of those seats is inviting on the chilly days like the ones we’ve had this past week. When I left the dealership, the salesman told me he could show me how to hook my phone through the car. I told him not to worry. I can figure that out. I’m very computer literate. And I did! In my search for a new vehicle, I tried a lot of programs. One that I highly recommend is the rent-to-buy program. A lot of car rental companies offers it. I tried the one through Hertz Car Sales. For the past couple of years, I have always admired the Nissan Rogue. I see it everywhere. I even drove one my friend owns when I was in Denver last year on vacation. So it became my first choice for vehicles.

The rent-to-buy program is different from the normal Hertz used cars. The vehicle is an active rental that will be coming in and they are selling it for a fixed price. No haggle or negotiations are the norm. Best of all, you can look at each vehicle over the internet. I used my smartphone and found one that had just over 10,000 miles, was a 2019, and had all the bells and whistles, including the fob and push-button start, automatic door locks, and a trunk that opens with the press of a button. I rented the car for the three-day time frame, and you really get to know if you like a car when you use it every day. To my surprise, I didn’t like the car. First off, I found the Rogue to be extremely road noisy. I heard every bump in the road when I was driving it. I later learned from the salespeople when I took the car back and said I had issues, the first thing out of their mouth was noise. Apparently that is a well-known complaint regarding the car. I also didn’t like the vibration I felt in the

ARLENE JONES

steering wheel. I have since learned that when you’ve had a V6 car and you end up downgrading to a 4-cylinder, it is normal to notice the changes because of the size of the engine. I also didn’t think the Rogue was as roomy as I would want. Downgrading from a real SUV like the Montero Sport to crossover SUVs that are more car than truck was extremely noticeable. By the time I finished my three days of test driving, I knew it wasn’t the car for me. I ended up at a regular car dealership from whom I purchased a new vehicle. I have a fraud alert on my credit report because years ago someone stole my identity and used it. So the first thing that happened was that they came back and told me about the alert. Thank goodness it is still working. The POS who stole my identity can no longer use it to continue to do the damage that he/she once did. It took me several days, but I finally got rid of my old vehicle. Driving it to the junkyard was something I did not want to do. But my old car can now hopefully be used to help keep other cars running until they too end up there.

from page 1 she picketed outside of Emmet Elementary, at the corner of Madison and Central, and one of the 50 schools that were closed across Chicago by former mayor Rahm Emanuel. Reynolds said that she’s been on a pay freeze for the last six years. She was among those teachers who received no back pay after the last strike. “Once you reach year 14, you’re on a freeze for six years,” Reynolds said. “I have a master’s degree, and about 30 graduate hours past my master’s. Why am I not compensated for my education and years of experience? It’s not fair.” Reynolds said that one of the major sticking points for the teachers is prep time. “That’s the time we need to write lesson plans,” she said. “We only get an hour a week. They’re trying to give us two hours a week. How do we do lesson plans, call parents or whatever we have to do in two hours? They’re asking us to do work after school, at home, on weekends, without being compensated.” DePriest is lucky in one regard, she said. “We have a social worker now,” Reynolds explained. “Last year, he was part-time. He had to write letters and circulate signatures in order to be full-time. We’re one of the lucky schools. We have so many kids who have experienced trauma and loss.” Day one (Thursday, Oct. 17, 2 p.m.), outside of Chicago Public Schools’ headquarters at 42 W. Madison St.

Enjoy ‘Escape Room’ On Saturday, Oct. 26, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., at North Austin Branch Library, 5724 W. North Ave., enjoy a free screening of “Escape Room.” Six strangers find themselves in a maze of mystery rooms and must use their wits to survive and win $1 million, but they soon discover the game’s stakes are deadly.

Teachers and support staff from public schools across the city converged in front of CPS headquarters in the Loop. “This strike is about our voices and our hope for the future,” said Jesse Sharkey, CTU’s president, addressing the crowd. “This is a chance that comes once a generation. We would rather take some pain right now than not have justice for the next several years.” Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-

Proud to partner with Austin Talks

Ervin said that her support for the teachers comes from a very personal place. “I’m a product of Chicago Public Schools,” she said. “My mother was a single parent who raised three kids on her own. My mother was a union worker who worked 12 hours a day and had to rely on Chicago Public Schools to teach her three daughters. I don’t believe a child should have to choose between a teacher, a social worker, a nurse or a librarian.” After the rally outside of CPS headquarters ended, a red sea of demonstrators marched in the concrete and steel shadows of the Loop. J. Williams (he declined to give his first name), of North Lawndale, walked among them. Williams, a special education teacher at Gregory Elementary School, 3715 W. Polk St. said that the students “deserve their funds, they deserve more support and I’m just here supporting. I’m supporting all of our babies.” Day two (Friday, Oct. 18, 9:30 a.m.), outside of Michele Clark High School, 5101 W. Harrison St. As one group of teachers stood near a grill (the smell of eggs coating their morning protest), another group of teachers demonstrated on the overpass right off of South Lavergne Avenue and West Flournoy Street. They were joined by students with signs that read: “Hurry up, our education is being affected! Hurry up!!” Phyllis Ford-France, a veteran social science teacher at Michele Clark and the school’s charismatic union leader, cut a commanding presence as she walked up Lavergne on her way back to the high school. She wore a red overcoat and a clipboard, and evoked such authority that she made pupils of her fellow teachers. “We’re pretty lucky,” Ford-France said. “We have a nurse and our principal makes sure we have resources, but we do struggle with class size and we want pay, which is a universal issue among all teachers in the district.” Ford-France said that class sizes vary by grade level. At the freshman level, she said, students cram into classes that average roughly 35 students.

STRIKE

On the front lines from page 6 Ford-France, who has been teaching for 16 years, had originally wanted to be an attorney. “Then I realized I was broke and needed money,” she said. “Someone told me I should try teaching. I tried and I’ve been teaching ever since.” She stayed in the profession, she said, for reasons beyond money. “Teachers work extremely, extremely hard,” she said. “They give so much of themselves and are very passionate. You have to have extreme patience.” Day two (Friday, Oct. 18, 10 a.m.), outside of John Hay, 1018 N. Laramie Ave. A few dozen teachers with signs faced Laramie, prompting an unending cascade of honks from cars whizzing by. Gracie Anderson held a sign that read: “Lori Lightfoot, in a city of corrupt politicians be the [insert photo of a unicorn]. Keep your campaign promises.” For emphasis, Anderson was dressed as a unicorn. Marcie Gutierrez, a first and second grade teacher at Hay, said that she was disappointed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot. “Her election platform had all of the issues we wanted,” Gutierrez said. “Her education platform said she wanted nurses and social workers for every school. We thought she wants what we want, but now that we’re trying to get her to put those things in writing, she doesn’t want to do it. We’re pretty upset.” Hay can use a full-time nurse and a social worker, said Gutierrez, who has worked at Hay for 17 years. “We have lots of kids with asthma and different things trigger what happens to them, so we need to have someone here without

having to call the ambulance every time,” Gutierrez said. “We have a nurse here on Tuesdays. If it’s not Tuesday and you get sick — oh well. We gotta call the ambulance.” Was Gutierrez sensitive to CPS’ financial situation? The mayor has said that the city is strained financially. “We have money for the rich, but when it comes to these schools on the West and South Sides, we have no money,” Gutierrez said. “It’s funny how they find money when they need it for certain people.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

Austin sites featured during Open House Chicago The two-day tour, held Oct. 19-20, featured Austin sites for second consecutive year By SUZANNE McBRIDE Austin Talks

Hundreds of people were expected to visit nine historic sites in Austin last weekend as part of the Chicago Architecture Center’s annual “Open House Chicago.” Included in this year’s two-day tour — the ninth annual that will feature more than 350 sites across the city and in a few nearby suburbs such as Oak Park — are several Austin sites that participated last year, the first time Austin was part of the event. “We usually add one or two neighborhoods every year,” said Eric Rogers, manager of Open House Chicago and community outreach for the Chicago Architecture Center. Garfield Park joined the event in 2011, then Oak Park was invited to participate in 2016, so it made sense to add the Austin neighborhood, Rogers said. “We were surrounding the neighborhood on both sides. We knew we had to make it happen.” Many of this year’s Austin sites – all nine are found here – are centered along Central Avenue, like last year. Rogers said it’s ideal to have a “walkable cluster.” “Columbus Park Refectory is an exciting addition,” he said. “It’s a stunning space. … We’re excited to have that site in the mix.” The busiest of the 11 sites that participated in last year’s tour was Fraternite Notre Dame, at 502 N. Central Ave. French nuns operate the site, which saw over 1,000 visitors, Rogers said. “They were very excited to do it again.” So is Kehrein Center for the Arts. The new performing arts center at 5618 W. Washington Blvd. had more than 400 visitors last year for a “hard-hat” tour, as the $5 million theatre restoration was still in the construction phase, said Edmund Siderewicz, director of external relations for Catalyst Circle Rock. The 850-seat theatre, now completed, has been used the last several months by various community groups for dance, music and other productions, as well as public meetings. The building used to house an all-girls Catholic school and sat empty – until a nonprofit took it over a few years ago, Siderewicz said. Also located at the site is Catalyst Circle Rock, a charter school that educates 520 students in kindergarten through 8th grade. “Together we found a way to get the auditorium restored, it’s state of art,” Siderewicz said. Up Central Avenue a few blocks and around the corner near the Central Green Line CTA stop is the Catholic Charities Father Augustus Tolton Peace Center. Catholic Charities

has occupied the former Austin State Bank building since 2017, offering services to people who have experienced trauma. Last year, about 500 people visited the former bank building at 5645 W. Corcoran Place. The highlight of the tour was the bank vault, said Christie Richardson, regional director of community relations for Catholic Charities. “Everyone wants to go by the vault,” she said. Visitors also got to see old bank ledgers and other artifacts from when the building was used as a bank. One of last year’s visitors, Richardson said, was a man whose father had worked at the bank; he was able to find his name in the ledger and see how much money he had years ago at the bank. The building was constructed in 1913; the first section had to be built around the vault. Then the second section was built in 1925, with the last expansion in 1963. “You can see the architectural differences between the first two and the last one,” Richardson said, noting the last expansion will remind visitors of the TV show “Mad Men.” There’s also a mural depicting space that was painted in the midst of the country’s race to the moon. Visitors will also get a chance to stop by Third Unitarian Church at 301 N. Mayfield Ave., one of the oldest churches on the West Side that celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2018. This is the church’s sixth location since it was founded in 1868; Third Unitarian has been at its current location since 1934, with an expansion done in 1956. “We like to show off the space,” said Eric Davis, a 15-year member of Third Unitarian who lives across Austin Boulevard in Oak Park. A number of Third Unitarian members are from Oak Park, he said. “There have been changes in the neighborhood … yet there’s been a deliberate desire to stay in Austin, to remain a part of the community. “It’s nice to have folks come see the architecture – and to see an institution that has persevered and grown. We hope people will come back,” he said of the church, which he noted has a “very strong social justice bent.” Several blocks north and a few blocks west of Third Unitarian is a new site: One Lake Brewing, a brew pub that recently opened on the corner of Austin Boulevard and Lake Avenue. Rogers of the Architecture Center hoped that the weekend’s tour participants would go back and forth between Austin and Oak Park – and draw visitors to Chicago’s West Side in particular, so they can see the neighborhood is more than what they may see depicted in the news. “People hear bad things on the news, and they don’t hear the good things. … The real power this event has is to change the narrative because of the experiences people have,” Rogers said. “Hopefully, it brings down some barriers that exist in people’s heads.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

EDITORIAL

Chicago’s teachers are fighting for workers everywhere By EDITORIAL STAFF

In its Sunday, Oct. 20 paper, the Chicago Tribune provided a useful primer on the “basics of the Chicago teachers strike.” The paper tells us that the strike could last indefinitely. The longest Chicago Teachers Union strike ever, in 1987, was 19 days. In 2012, the strike lasted seven days. How many people are affected? Some 300,000 students aren’t in school and some 25,000 educators and 7,000 support staffers are not working, the Tribune points out. While the strike lasts, CPS will keep all schools open. How? That hasn’t been sufficiently explored in most reporting on this strike. From what Austin Weekly News reporters were told during the picketing, maybe the buildings are being manned by non-CTU administrators (principals, vice principals, etc.) and temporary replacement workers. What are the issues? The union wants a 15 percent pay-raise over three years while CPS wants to give 16 percent over five years. The two sides are also wrangling over “staffing, class sizes and prep time,” along with the union’s demands for “nurses, social workers and librarians in every school, and more special education classroom assistants and case managers.” By the way, the union wants all these demands met and in the contract (ensuring that CPS carries them out). These are the basics, according to the Tribune. But don’t be mistaken. This strike is fundamentally about much more than the teachers’ demands for higher pay and more resources in schools. “The CTU and SEIU are aiming to undo a quarter century of damage inflicted in the name of ‘school reform,’” writes Jacobin’s Alan Maas. That reform, he adds, “has always meant blaming teachers for the crisis of underfunded schools, and punishing students and parents with high-stakes testing, school closures, and the mirage of ‘school choice.’” So-called ‘reform’ has also meant the proliferation of publicly funded, but privately

operated charter schools that are unaccountable to taxpayers. It has meant a draconian 1995 state law that drastically limited the CTU’s ability to bargain for anything other than the most incremental issues like pay raises, abolished the School Finance Authority and School Board Nominating Commission, and gave former mayor Richard M. Daley “sole power to handpick a new board as well as the top officials in the CPS administration —now led by a chief executive officer rather than a superintendent.” So-called ‘reform’ has meant treating education like a business rather than a public good and subjecting children (primarily black and brown children) to a Silicon Valley-style cult of creative destruction and radical, entrepreneurial experimentation. In another enlightening Jacobin article, Derek Seidman writes that the teacher’s strike “is rooted in a stark truth about Chicago: namely, that the city’s governing class has no problem giving away huge subsidies to wealthy billionaires and developers, but it refuses to sufficiently invest in workingclass students of color and their communities, schools, and teachers.”

When Rahm Emanuel closed 50 schools in 2013, his billionaire benefactor, Ken Griffin, said that “the number should’ve been 125,” Seidman writes. Closing those schools, regardless of the economic rationale, was so easy for people like Emanuel and Griffin because they’re so distanced from the consequences. You can rest assured their children won’t be subjects in the grand market experiment that is urban education. Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Emanuel’s successor, considers the union’s attempt to negotiate things like affordable housing for the approximately 17,000 CPS students who are homeless as an example of unnecessary overreach. But Rebecca Burns, writing for In These Times, explains why the mayor, a corporate attorney, is wrong on this. “The mayor’s view reflects a very narrow understanding of the professional responsibilities of public school educators,” Burns quotes Marnie Brady, an assistant professor at Marymount Manhattan College. “The living conditions of their students are indeed the working conditions of their classrooms.” Burns writes that by “raising an issue that affects not only teachers, but the communi-

ties they live and work in, CTU is deploying a strategy known as ‘bargaining for the common good.’” The CTU, and teachers unions across the country, have been effectively bargaining for workers, taxpayers and other everyday people who are outside of their own professions. So far, the bargaining tactic has been among the most effective ways for ordinary people to actually yield power that leads to results. For instance, in 2013, “citing inspiration from Chicago, the St. Paul Federation of Teachers (SPFT) worked with community allies to jointly draw up a list of 29 demands to bring into its contract negotiations, including the expansion of preschool, reforms to school discipline procedures and the reduction of standardized testing,” Burns writes. “While the school district initially refused to negotiate over 18 of these areas, a unified front by teachers and community members eventually pressured it to include language on almost every area in the SPFT’s new contract.” Seriously, when was the last time a politician you voted for delivered on the things you wanted (as opposed to carrying political and economic water for people like Griffin)? As teacher after teacher we interviewed explained, during the campaign, Mayor Lori Lightfoot said one thing about what students in Chicago’s most vulnerable schools need. Now ensconced in office, however, her actions have said something else. “This spring,” Maas writes, “two bills passed the Democratic-controlled State House — one to reestablish an elected school board, the other to repeal [the] legal restrictions on what CTU is allowed to negotiate.” The bills were poised to pass the Senate and Gov. J.B. Pritzker was likely to sign them before Lightfoot “asked Senate President John Cullerton to stall these bills” just before contract negotiations between CTU and CPS started, according to the Chicago Tribune. This strike is showing us that, if the voices of ordinary working people aren’t registered through the ballot, perhaps our last, best hope is at the bargaining table.

Area lawmakers talk renewable energy at Unity Temple

During Oct. 13 forum, state legislators noted fossil fuel’s might in blocking green energy progress By BONNI McKEOWN Contributing Reporter

How can Illinois convert to renewable, low-polluting energy and continue creating jobs in rural areas, suburbs and cities? Those were some of the questions on the table during a forum held Oct. 13 at Unity Temple, 875 Lake St. A panel of state lawmakers and clean energy activists told a crowd of around 100 people that they’re working to pass legislation that will help ensure that Illinois makes the transition to green energy without losing job growth, but that they have to overcome opposition from well-funded fossil fuel interests. While many more solar and wind facilities are being built and buildings retrofitted, the renewable boom has reached a crucial turning point and needs a public boost to continue, advocates say. Kristin Munsch, deputy director of Citizens Utility Board, pointed out that the fossil fuel interests have long received hidden government subsidies. So far, Illinois only uses 10 percent renewable energy, a rate that’s far behind lawmakers’ goal of 25 percent by 2025 and their goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. In 2016, the state’s Future Energy Jobs Act set the goals of phasing out all coal use by 2030, replacing coal plants with

Camille Lilly, Kevin Borgia, Kristin Munsch and Nigel Mosley (a consultant with Blacks in Green) discuss environmental legislation at Unity Temple on Oct. 13. clean energy, eliminating more than a million gas-powered vehicles, and implementing more funding for solar power and wind turbines. State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford (8th), who represents parts of Oak Park, said that, while goals are fine, the state must provide the resources to state agencies that might enforce the law. Ford also said insisted that green jobs be created in disadvantaged urban areas and that the state helps fossil fuel workers transition into alternative energy jobs. “Right now people are left out of the internet, they’re left out of clean water,” Ford said. “Clean energy is the best way

to put people to work in high quality, good jobs without going to a university.” “We have some more talking to do,” said state Rep. Camille Lilly (78th). “There aren’t enough details on how to get the Black community involved.” She visualizes walkable neighborhoods with nearby jobs and groceries with healthy food. Kevin Borgia, board member of the Illinois Solar Association, said the owners of residential and commercial properties in cities and suburbs can install rooftop solar and wind generators, and consolidating into energy cooperatives. Members of the cooperatives would get their power from wind and solar. The extra energy the buildings generate would go back into the electric grid in exchange for utilities, such as ComEd, reimbursing the owners. State Sen. Don Harmon (38th), who represents Oak Park, said that lawmakers have filed a bill favored by many renewable developers and that focuses more on investment. “We’re making a lot of progress,” Harmon said. “Radical change is a series of incremental changes.” Climate change makes renewable energy conversion more urgent, yet energy distributors like ComEd are still overwhelmingly using fossil fuels and have lots of clout, he said. “When big energy companies have buildings full of lawyers, sometimes you end up catching $100 million fossil fuel provisions tucked into a long, complicated bill,” Harmon said. “They call it a drafting error.” That’s all the more reason why “we need people speaking loudly and clearly” for renewable energy, he said.
