Clergy get behind embattled police supt. Facing investigation, noconfidence vote, Johnson has Black ministers’ support By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A group of prominent Chicago ministers, most of them from the West Side, have expressed support for beleaguered Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson. The clergy held a closed-door meeting with Johnson at Greater St. John Bible Church, 1256 N. Waller Ave. in Austin on Oct. 23 to discuss the Oct. 9 release of an Inspector General’s report that implicates Johnson in the police coverup of Laquan McDonald’s 2014 murder. “This meeting was scheduled shortly after the IG’s report went forward and we had some concerns about the superintendent’s involvement in the Laquan McDonald shooting,” said Rev. Ira Acree, pastor of the Greater St. John and cochairman of the Leaders Network, a faith-based social justice organization based on the West Side. “This meeting was very helpful to me,” Acree said during a press conference held in the church’s foyer shortly after the meeting. “We heard him come to the community. I commend him for that. He came out here and basically gave us his side of the story.” In 2015, according to Inspector General Joe Ferguson’s report, Johnson — who was a deputy chief at the time — met with other top brass who reviewed the shooting and determined that “16 shots was justified,” a lieutenant who was present at the meeting told the IG.

Border crossing

Activists and clergy from Chicago and Oak Park, including Rev. Ira Acree (center), who pastors on the West Side, traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border last week. Now back, they’re condemning the “atrocities” related to the country’s immigration system. Read more on page 4.

BMO Harris Bank giving $10 million to Austin United Way of Metro Chicago is also contributing $25 million over five years By MATEUSZ JANIK AustinTalks

BMO Harris Bank is donating $10 million to help deepen its impact in the Chicago community with a specific focus on resident-led efforts guided by Austin Coming Together. “Economic inclusion and strong neigh-

borhoods go hand in hand,” BMO Harris Bank CEO David R. Casper said in a statement. “As an institution with deep Chicago roots, we consider it our responsibility to boldly grow the good across the city, and that includes building strong, resilient neighborhoods.” The donation – the largest corporate gift in United Way of Metro Chicago’s history

– will be used to help implement Austin’s quality of life plan and to support social service infrastructure and development in the city’s most-populated community area. The investment was announced last week at an event hosted by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who has a plan to bolster eco-

An urban farm in Garfield Park is looking to install a rain garden in order to creatively address urban flooding in the area. Ever since it opened around six years ago, the urban farm at 407 N. Kedzie Ave. has been more than just a place to grow vegetables. The farm is part of Chicago FarmWorks, a transitional jobs program operated by Heartland Alliance. The program provides people who have criminal records and other barriers to employment with the work experience necessary to find long-term, fulltime jobs. Currently, FarmWorks is seeking to make some capital improvements in order to expand its already broad range of program offerings. The organization is working with the Garfield Park Community Council to install a rain garden and outdoor sculpture by local artist Andrea Jablonski. The garden and sculpture are designed to provide shade and storm water reduction. The organization also wants to add a garden on three city lots along Kedzie Avenue. Jessica Surma, Heartland Alliance’s urban agriculture coordinator, said that FarmWorks was a logical extension of her organization’s two major goals. “We believe that people have a right to a good job in the community and a right to healthy, affordable food,” she said. “Garfield Park, Uptown, Englewood — those are all areas of city that have a high level of food insecurity.” Over the course of 11 weeks, participants work on the urban farm and at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. They are taught soft skills that come in handy when it comes to keeping a job, such as being able to show up on time and working well with co-workers and supervisors. On Fridays, they get financial literacy training

and learn how to write resumes. Surma said that participants benefit from having the Hatchery, 135 N. Kedzie Ave., near the urban farm. Some participants have found jobs through FarmWorks’ partnership with one of the Hatchery’s co-owners, the Industrial Council of Nearwest Chicago, she said. “We expect that, as the Hatchery expands, our participants would get some of those spots,” she said. And we also serve on their community advisory council.” In addition to that, Surma explained, FarmWorks offers garden plots that local residents and schools can rent. “Most people apply for scholarships,” she said. “We charge $30 for a season, which is pretty reasonable.” Heartland Alliance has been working with the Garfield Park Community Council; Site Design Group, a landscape architecture firm; and the Center for Neighborhood Technology, a downtown Chicago-based nonprofit that promotes urban sustainability in order to reduce flooding from the nearby parking lot and provide a place where workers and volunteers can gather and get some shade. According to the Council’s Oct. 10 newsletter, Jablonski’s sculpture will complement the rain garden. “In addition to using angled planes to direct water to the rain garden, the piece will be large enough to serve as a shaded gathering space,” the Council explains. “Reflective and colored materials will mirror the garden and connect visually to the Kedzie Green Line ‘L’ stop.” “We have area in front of our farm that kind of looks a little junky and it’s hard to maintain,” Surma said. “They’re planning to plant more eatable plants. That way, people can pick up blueberries on the way to the ‘L’ stop.” CONTACT: igorst3@hotmail.com

Local leaders see border ‘atrocity’ close up Clergy, activists visited U.S.-Mexico border, call for end to Trump immigration policy

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

A coalition of community activists, lawmakers and clergy from Oak Park, Chicago and other areas traveled to the Mexican city of Matamoros last week to witness what many who were interviewed about the trip described as a human rights atrocity at the U.S. southern border. “People are being forced into really dangerous conditions,” said Moni RuizVelasco, the executive director of PASO West Suburban Action Group, an immigrant rights organization. “That part of Mexico is designated by the U.S. State Department as presenting the same level of risk and violence as Afghanistan and Syria, because of the murders and kidnappings,” said Ruiz-Velasco, of Oak Park. “In that area, people have no running water and no shelter. The only food they have is what is brought across the border from the U.S. side by volunteers.” In December, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, under the direction of President Donald Trump’s administration, implemented what’s called Migrant Protection Protocols. The initiative essentially denies people seeking asylum entry into the United States, forcing them to wait in Mexico, Ruiz-Velasco said. “Before this program began, asylum seekers who presented themselves at the border would be detained and processed for deportation proceedings,” Ruiz-Velasco said. “A lot of them were released to other family members in the United States while they waited for court, which gave them the opportunity to find a lawyer to represent them.” As a result, encampments crowded with migrants have popped up along the southern border, where children and adults are forced to bathe in the Rio Grande River, and where kidnapping and extortion are regular occurrences, Ruiz-Velasco said. “We saw the tragedy of 50,000 people, mostly women and children, living literally in tents -- in a tent city -- on the Mexican side of the border in Matamoros, because of this policy of delaying the adjudication of their cases and not allowing them to come in while those cases are heard,” said Rev. Marshall Hatch, a West Side pastor who travelled with the coalition to the border last week. “You have people fleeing all kinds of violence in Central America and Mexico who are camped out at the U.S. border on the other side. That’s what we saw.” In a series of reactions to the two-day trip, which he posted on his Facebook timeline, Rev. Alan Taylor, the lead minister of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Oak Park, described one incident that underscored the humanitarian crisis at the border. After a prayer vigil that included freedom

songs popularized during the civil rights movement (“Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around”) and collective prayer, a woman fainted, “apparently of heat exhaustion,” Taylor wrote. “She was unable to walk. She looked like she was in severe distress. Several people sent for medical help, but it was 45 minutes before an ambulance arrived.” “It’s appalling what’s happening,” said Ruiz-Velasco, who also witnessed the incident. “It was heartbreaking to see these children on the ground who were going to this extent to pursue their dreams and get to America,” said Rev. Ira Acree, a West Side pastor. “Nobody should have to live like this. This is not who America is. America is a nation of immigrants.” Ruiz-Velasco and others said people should demand that the federal government end the Migrant Protection Protocols program. “We need to end this program now,” said Rabbi Max Weiss, of Oak Park Temple B’nai Abraham Zion. “This program didn’t exist before,” said Ruiz-Velasco. “So we’re calling for our members of Congress in Illinois to vote no on this program during this upcoming vote on the federal budget, to ensure there are no funds from the federal government used to support this program.” CONTACT: michael@oaustinweeklynews.com

BIG WEEK

What I would tell Mayor Lightfoot

attended Alderman Emma Mitts’ 37th Ward community meeting last Thursday evening, Oct. 24. Mayor Lori Lightfoot was the special invited guest. Of course the place was packed and many of the usual suspects were in attendance. As an accomplished attorney, Mayor Lightfoot is well aware of what she says and how she says it. So if there’s one thing black folks need to learn to do, it’s listen to the way the words are phrased. As an example, Lightfoot mentioned not increasing the property taxes to the max like she could have. The audience applauded. Of course many of them didn’t realize that she’s increased the taxes, just not to the max. That was not a moment for applause, happiness or joy! Mayor Lightfoot also mentioned the casino for Chicago. If people were paying attention, she also said that the profits from it would be to shore up the pensions. So the very politicians who got us into this mess would have their retirement well-funded. In my humble opinion, what we really need is pension reform, indictments for the criminal behaviors of the past several mayors, reduction of government employees and a complete overhaul and forensic audit of every department within the city to find waste, fraud, and who knows what else. As usual, there were concerns expressed about crime. Apparently the 1100 block of Springfield has a lot of issues because the police cleaned up the 1000 block of Springfield. Those two blocks have a history of bad behavior going back over 20 years, and maybe the initial emphasis needs to be on the residents who are attracting and allowing the situation to continue along with the police doing their part. We have to get out of a vacuum where the community refuses to acknowledge the tolerance of criminal behavior that certain individuals promote — from the mother whose son was killed, and she confessed that

she knew her nephews like to steal cars, to the grandfather who couldn’t understand about young people committing violence while his own grandson was caught on camera running out of Grandpa’s house with a huge automatic weapon. The causes and solutions require a mirror, first and foremost. Far too many of us are not addressing the issue of the problems that emanate from within our own houses. Unemployed individuals who have brand new $300 gym shoes? I doubt they fell off a truck. The same can be said for those wearing expensive clothing. Why don’t they have a job? Fixing the crime problem in the black community is not rocket science. Lastly, if I had a chance to speak to the mayor, these would be my suggestions: ■ First is to have that city sticker glow in the dark or be reflective to light. I am sick of seeing Oak Park residents park all along Austin Boulevard because they can’t park in their village overnight. ■ We also have a plethora of Chicagoans who do not buy the city sticker. We should not allow any vehicle to be parked on a city street from 2 to 6 a.m. without a sticker (we can have currency exchanges sell temporary one-night passes). I guarantee if that goes into effect, the city will find an influx of millions of dollars as people who have been getting away with this for years are finally forced to buy a sticker. ■ Also if the city is going to impose an increased tax on food, get all those people selling food out of carts and out of coolers. They’re making a living, and they’re not paying the proper amount of taxes. Plus it looks nasty to have all these people just set up food stands anywhere and everywhere. They cannot wash their hands and I am amazed at the number of people who risk their health to stand in line to buy from them. I filmed the entire meeting with the mayor. Anybody wanting to see it, can go to my Facebook page: BEAT 2532.

DONATION Historic gift from page 1 nomic development on the West and South Sides. She was surrounded by a number of local elected officials – including Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), Emma Mitts (37th), Jason Ervin (28th) and Michael Scott Jr. (24th); and state Rep. Camille Lily – as wellMaurice Cox, as newly appointed city commissioner of planning and development. United Way of Metro Chicago is also contributing $25 million over five years to help support community-led projects and address challenges in several West and South Side Chicago neighborhoods as part of its Neighborhood Network Initiative. “Austin is now at this tipping point. Everyone is poised to take action on the things that they have all identified as holding them back,” Darnell Shields, executive director of Austin Coming Together, said in a statement. “Without United Way’s Neighborhood Network Initiative and supporters like BMO Harris Bank, I honestly don’t think Austin Coming Together would have evolved into the force that we are today, leading this community renaissance.” Sean Garrett, president and CEO of United Way of Metro Chicago, praised the work Austin Coming Together has done since its formation in 2010.

INVESTING SOUTH AND WEST: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was on the West Side last week to announce a $10 million investment in Austin. West Side businessman Malcolm Crawford, left, and nonprofit leader Darnell Shields, right, look on. “Darnell and his team at Austin Coming Together have laid out a clear plan and have established the framework to bring it to life,” Garrett said in a statement. “We look forward to partnering in neighborhoods across the city to continue these efforts.” With Austin Coming Together also acting as the lead agency for United Way of Metro Chicago’s Austin Neighborhood Network,

the focus now is how to spend the $10 million. “The majority of those resources are to facilitate projects that are moving the quality of life plan forward,” Shields said in an interview. Shields said the money will be spent on projects like the redevelopment of both Chicago Avenue and Central Avenue. Malcolm Crawford, executive director of

the Austin African American Business Networking Association, said the donation will help attract business back to Austin and accelerate development for the Soul City Corridor along Chicago Avenue. “Now we have opportunities to start bringing our money back to our community and start doing development,” Crawford said. “Look at it now because there will be a place soon where you can come, and everything you see in the other parts of the city of Chicago [will] be right here on the West Side.” Ed Siderewicz, co-founder and director of mission and external relations at Catalyst Schools, is excited to continue partnering with Austin Coming Together and to see the redevelopment along another busy street on the West Side: Central Avenue. “We’re working hard so that this [investment] could just ripple up and down Central Avenue to create this significant economic engine for the West Side,” Siderewicz said. Another project likely to receive funding is the redevelopment of Robert Emmet Elementary, which CPS closed in 2013 then sold to the West Side Health Authority in 2018. The plan is to turn the now vacant school in the heart of Austin into a “workforce innovation center” where career development programs can be offered. “I’ve been in this work now going on 10 years … and so to see this level of commitment be matched by investment is just being well-received and really exciting,” Shields said.

TO THE CAPE: Crystal Dyer, founder and executive director of Gone Again Travel Agency, (pictured standing), says that there are still spots for those interested in going to South Africa.

Good Neighbor Campaign to take trip to Cape Town

Spots for the trip, to take place in April 2020, still open until Oct. 31 By MATEUSZ JANIK AustinTalks

The Westside Health Authority’s Good Neighbor Campaign is organizing an immersive trip to Cape Town, South Africa, in spring 2020. Targeted to young people ages 16 to 24, Good Neighbor Campaign is also inviting family members and anyone else from the community to go on the one-week trip, which will take place from April 4 to April 11, 2020. The trip – which costs $1,750 for a double room and $2,350 for a single – will include hotel stay for six nights, tours of local areas and a visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held behind bars for 18 years. In addition, air fare is expected to cost about $1,500. Thirteen people have signed up as of this week and there’s room for up to 40 travelers. Registrations are being accepted until Oct. 31. Felisha Reed-Bolden, administrative assistant at Good Neighbor Campaign, said it’s a great opportunity for young people from the West Side to explore the heritage. “We just want to enrich and teach them about their culture,” Reed-Bolden said. “They see a lot of negative things on a daily basis, and this a life-changing experience for them.” Since 2014, Good Neighbor Campaign has offered a number of programs, from organized sports such as baseball to a youth council that offers service opportunities for young people. Now, with the trip to Cape Town, Reed-Bolden said participants will get a chance to see

another part of the world for the first time. “This will be something historic,” Reed said. “Everyone is excited, a little nervous, and just looking forward to being in our homeland.” Along with partners Crystal Dyer, founder and executive director of Gone Again Travel Agency, 5940 W. Chicago Ave., and state Rep. La Shawn Ford, Good Neighbor Campaign hopes this can be an opportunity for people to learn about the history of apartheid and learn more about the experiences of Mandela. Both Dyer and Ford will also be making the trip. Dyer is the founder of Chicago Youth Austin Travel Adventures, a non-profit that provides “travel and learn” scholarships for foster care and justice-involved youth; this last year Dyer took a group a young people from Austin on their first trip to Ghana, West Africa. “Westside Health Authority knows that I already had a reputation for providing such journeys; that’s why they came to me for help,” Dyer said. “This will help kids go on this journey, to really look at their own life.” “Knowledge is power,” said BreShawn Wilkerson, 21, youth coordinator for the trip, who believes that showing the legacy of Mandela “can inspire someone that’s young with dreams, passions and goals to do something positive” like changing their community. Westside Health Authority, with Rep. Ford’s assistance, holds an annual Mandela birthday celebration on July 18, Nelson Mandela International Day. “Many times African Americans don’t know the exact place they come from,” Ford said. “There is a sense of pride and culture that is in Cape Town, and we need to make sure young people are able to learn their history – where they could have come from.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

Austin native’s art speaks for itself

The subjects in Jesse Howard’s work, on exhibition at Robert Morris College until Oct. 31, tell stories on their own terms By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Reality often has a way of making it onto Jesse Howard’s canvas. The artist, an native of Austin who currently resides in suburban Maywood, is well-known for his gripping charcoal drawings that capture African Americans suspended in various degrees of raw marginality — during a protest, under arrest, navigating homelessness. The backstory of one of Howard’s works of art, which he calls “The Emerging Black Male or Not,” has its origins at the Starbucks at 711 Lake St. in Oak Park, where Howard can often be seen reading a newspaper. “I got this guy out of Starbucks,” Howard said, referencing the artwork’s subject, during a reception on Oct. 3 at the State Street Gallery on the campus of Robert Morris College, 401 S. State St. in Chicago, where the artist’s work is on exhibit throughout October. “He’s only 26 years old and he was getting ready to go to a shelter,” Howard said. “They hang out at the Starbucks until 7 p.m., and they go to the shelter. While he was there, I asked to take his photo. I’m pretty good at meeting people and just talking to them. I had seen this young man for a few weeks and just talked to him. Finally, I asked if I could take his picture and he was more than happy to let me take it.” Howard said the artwork is a faithful illustration of the man’s eccentric hairstyle. “You can see he diminishes, but yet he comes forward,” Howard explained. “The panels are what you see a lot in AfricanAmerican homes. Those tiles? I wanted to put that in his face. I wanted him to be so

much faded into this blackness that you ask the question …” In another work of art, the uninhibited voices of Proviso East High School students scream in scrawled words on canvas that appears to bleed with raw emotion. “Marcia LaPorte [the chairperson of East’s Fine Arts & World Languages Department] had me come into the cafeteria and then do a lecture and then she invited me to one of their shows,” Howard said. “You have to get the kids’ trust. Once I got their trust, they opened up and they just started writing.” And what was one of the first words the students wrote? “Help,” Howard said. Howard’s exhibition, “The Love & Hate of a Culture in Defiance,” will be displayed at State Street Galley until Oct. 31. For more info, visit: robertmorris.edu/ studentlife/state-street-gallery/.

Accion Supports Women-Owned Businesses

ince 1994, Accion has helped neighborhood entrepreneurs grow by providing the capital, coaching, and connections small business owners need to create wealth and jobs throughout Illinois and Indiana. Accion provides small business loans between $500 and $100,000 at fair prices. Accion is different than other lenders. As a nonprofit, all revenue generated from loans is reinvested to help more entrepreneurs grow. Accion’s office is located at The Hatchery on the corner of Kedzie and Lake St in East Garfield Park. One such entrepreneur that Accion has helped is Latoya Pinson. Latoya was born and raised on Chicago’s West Side in the Austin neighborhood. Full of immense pride for her community, she founded her business, The Lighthouse Café, in Austin to create a space where neighbors can come together, hold meetings, and relax over a warm cup of coffee. Latoya is a passionate entrepreneur with a dedication to improving her community. Before opening The Lighthouse Café, she spent six years working for By the Hand Club

for Kids, a faith-based after school program that helps students improve their reading skills. Through this work, Latoya developed a deep connection to students and parents in Austin and further realized the

“We want The Lighthouse Café to be a positive light in the community.” - Latoya Pinson need for more community spaces in the neighborhood. “We want The Lighthouse Café to be a positive light in the community,” Latoya said. The Lighthouse Café is currently undergoing renovations. While Latoya is excited for the business to open this fall, she acknowledges that there have been challenges along the way.

Finding access to capital to get started was especially diﬃcult. Latoya secured a loan from Accion in spring of 2019 to help cover her business location deposit and ﬁrst month’s rent payment. “I knew that Accion provided smaller loans and the process was not very hard,” Latoya said. “Our Accion loan was very helpful to get us started,” she added. In addition, Latoya received a Neighborhood Opportunity Fund grant from the City of Chicago, which is supporting renovation, equipment and furniture costs. While there is still work to complete before opening, Latoya is proud to see her business evolve from concept to reality. The Lighthouse Café surely promises to shine a beacon of light in Austin by providing a place for neighbors to come together and build community. Does your business need help with access to capital or coaching?

Friends First is seeking mentors and mentees. Friends First changes lives.

Mercy Home for Boys & Girls Friends First Mentoring

ilisha Harrison, the director of Friends First Mentoring for Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, has worked with children in diﬀerent levels of care, such as residential and mentoring, for 15 years. Tilisha has always felt a strong purpose to serve the community. Working for Mercy Home gives her an outlet to connect people to their purpose of serving by supporting youth who need it. She’s seen the positive impact that service has on individuals and communities. “People need and want to feel connected,” Tilisha says, “this is the driving force of being human. It speaks volumes to a child when someone volunteers to give them wisdom and experiences they may not have otherwise been exposed to.” Tilisha believes that as our society becomes increasingly fast-paced and timedemanding, mentoring becomes harder to commit to. Consistency and being committed to growing the relationship are two factors that make mentoring successful. “I’ve learned through the volunteers of my program that mentoring is one the most rewarding experiences they’ve committed to,” Telisha points out, “because they get to witness developmental growth

in their mentees, like improved academic performance and the reduction of risks, such as poor self-esteem.” Telisha remains motivated to be successful on a daily basis. “Knowing there is a need to be fed in the youth community, I’ve been placed in a unique position to connect trusting adults to our most vulnerable children. I am privileged to help our mentors realize their purpose through mentoring which can mean saving a young person’s life by simply providing time, hope, and an expansion of their mind through helping them understand their strengths,” she says. Telisha enjoys interacting with people in the community who have decided that being in service to others is how we begin to promote wellness in our communities. “When children feel and know they are cared for, they can thrive in their environments. And when people feel they are contributing to the wellness of others, it in turn creates a movement of being responsible for each other and achieving real change by intentionally giving the best parts of ourselves to a child who can beneﬁt.”

Nonprofit seeking community feedback

Youth Outreach Services is holding Nov. 11 open house for residents to meet staff, offer service recommendations By IGOR STUDENKOV Contributing Reporter

Youth Outreach Services, a nonprofit with offices in Austin and suburban Melrose Park, has been reaching out to residents in its service area to get their feedback on how the organization can better service them. This fall, the organization has hosted three open houses, including one on Oct. 15 at its Melrose Park facility. It also plans to hold one on Nov. 11 at its Austin office, 5910 W. Division St. Jamie Noto, who became the nonprofit’s executive director this summer, said that she wants to give residents a chance to see what Youth Outreach Services does and to give their insights on what kind of community services they’d like to see from the nonprofit. Noto said that the organization changes its programming in response to the community’s needs and open houses are a great opportunity to find out what those needs are. “We try to be responsive to the community and try to offer services where we see the trends,” Noto said. “So, periodically, we like to do open houses so the community can come in, learn about what we do and meet the staff.” According to its website, YOS helps teens “that face challenges at home, in school and in the community” reach their full potential. The organization offers a wide range of counseling services for the teens and their families; crisis intervention programs; prevention programs that tackle substance abuse, teen pregnancy and bullying; and youth summer jobs program. The program also provides a range of programs designed to keep young people from going to prison or juvenile detention, such as restorative justice initiatives and alternatives to detention. Recently, the organization launched therapy programs for teens who have demonstrated unhealthy sexual behavior. The nonprofit usually works with schools and community organizations, Noto said. “In many of the schools, we have counselors that go into schools and work very closely with [the school staff], to make sure that kids are receiving necessary services that

they need when they’re in school or not in school,” she said. At the moment, Noto said, they offer services in five schools in the suburbs and five schools in Chicago. They also get referrals from community organizations and from schools. The nonprofit’s service area spans throughout the West Side and Northwest Side of Chicago, as well as all of Proviso, Leyden and Riverside townships. It provides most services except crisis intervention in Oak Park and River Forest, and it recently started expanding into Lyons Township. Funding for most of the nonprofit’s programs comes from the Illinois Department of Human Services, while funding for substance abuse programs and many justice system-related programs comes from the Department of Justice. The private funding, Noto said, helps provide additional mental health services. Noto said that, like many other nonprofits in the state, YOS was hurt by the budget impasse during former Gov. Bruce Rauner’s

Youth Outreach Services

REACHING OUT: Youth Outreach Services employees outside of the organization’s Melrose Park office. The nonprofit is seeking community input about its programming. administration. She said that the organization had to cut staff and services, which it is currently trying to rebuild. Youth Outreach Services once had a Maywood office, which closed during the Rauner administration. But Noto explained that the closure had less to do with the shortage of funds than the fact that Ceasefire, the violence prevention program housed in the nonprofit’s Maywood offices, kept suspending operations while dealing with its own funding issues. Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration has brought welcome stability, Noto said. “Under the new administration, we have payments coming in on time and we had an increase in our funding,” she said.

Community journalism remade MICHAEL ROMAIN/Contributor

JOHNSON

Explains himself from page 1 During the press conference on Oct. 23, Johnson said that the IG’s report “is not true” and that he had “no role at all” in the police cover-up of McDonald’s murder. “[The Inspector General] said he interviewed everybody who had a role in the shooting,” Johnson said. “I was never interviewed and the reason why I was never interviewed is because I didn’t have a role in it. All the decision-making that went on went on prior to me seeing [the video of McDonald’s murder].” Johnson added that the public should judge him based on what he’s done since becoming police chief in 2016. “When I became superintendent, I think there were 10 or 11 officers presented to me for termination and I recommended termination for all but one,” Johnson said. “And now, with me being superintendent, when we do shooting reviews, we never talk about what is or isn’t justified. That’s the job of COPA [the Civilian Office of Police Accountability].” Johnson’s version of events were sufficient for the clergy in attendance to vouchsafe for the superintendent during the press conference. “I have great respect for Joe Ferguson and I’m sure the explanation we heard today is a minor part of his report [the part that has to do with Eddie Johnson],” said Rev. Marshall Hatch, the pastor of New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in East Garfield Park. “I think we’ve been satisfied so far with the superintendent’s explanation,” Hatch said. “We’ve challenged him to go out in the community and make known that he was not part of a cover-up — point blank. We want to make sure this department moves forward and we want to be assured that the superintendent is part of the solution and not the problem.”

Bishop Larry D. Trotter, pastor of the Sweet Holy Spirit Church on the South Side, echoed Hatch and Acree. “What we heard today [from Johnson], if that was spoken to the people in our congregation, particularly young people and seniors, it would make them support the police department and their decisions a little more regularly,” Trotter said. “I don’t believe this superintendent has had a chance to speak to the masses about what he really believes and really feels, because if what he says is true we really have a hero and not somebody who has failed.” Trotter said that the clergy are planning to host Johnson on the South and West Sides so that he can tell his side of the story. Johnson, who has recently been under siege from multiple angles, will need all the community support the can muster. In addition to the IG’s report, Johnson is also dealing with the fallout of two other well-known incidents. On Oct. 17, Johnson’s own officers discovered him asleep behind the wheel of his car, an incident that prompted the superintendent himself to call for an internal investigation on the matter. And on Oct. 23, the Fraternal Order of Police union issued a vote of no-confidence in Johnson following the superintendent’s refusal to attend President Donald Trump’s McCormick Place address to the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Oct. 28. “This department has to be reformed from top to bottom,” said Hatch. “We do come away understanding the enormous pressure that Supt. Johnson has to be under as an African American superintendent over this department. And so, is there a little sympathy on his behalf given that? Yes. “We want him to be successful. We want any superintendent to be successful and success to us means that this department is radically reformed and has a much better relationship with the community than it has now.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com
