Wow!
Statement about Rep. Jesus "Chuy'' Garcia entering the Mayor's race:
The Mayor's race is about what you can do for Chicago today, not who you rubbed elbows with 35 years ago. With all due respect to Rep. Garcia, he served under Harold Washington for 19 months before Mayor Washington passed.
Rep Garcia has found his way into a variety of offices over the years, but he hasn't been a part of our city leadership or our legislation or our budgeting for more than 30 years.
I had the tremendous opportunity to sit with Mayor Washington on several occasions, as he would give me advice on how to navigate law school. My father was very close to Mayor Washington, serving as both his Rules committee chairman as well as his President Pro-tempore in the City Council.
I grew up with Mayor Washington visiting my father's office regularly as our State Senator and Congressman. He was a friend to our family, and even I haven't tried to wrap myself in his legacy the way Rep. Garcia has.
I don't think the best way to announce a so-called "unity'' campaign is to appropriate the legacy of one of the most beloved African American leaders in Chicago history.

Members and Friends,
Over the past week, we have seen an explosion of pain over the death of George Floyd in both our City of Chicago and cities nationwide. Sadly, this sorrow is not new. It is a pattern of injustice which has gone unchecked for far too long. Today, we the staff of the Chicago Bungalow Association stand with our nation in condemning the murder of George Floyd and the systemic racism which has plagued our country for centuries. This is a time for mourning, a time for reflection, but more importantly, a time for action, big and small.
Many of us may be wondering what we can do to change something that seems out of our control, and yesterday we received a powerful message on just that. Jahmal Cole, your fellow CBA member and founder of My Block, My Hood, My City, gave Chicagoans 15 words to ask themselves:
“What’s something simple I can do that will have a positive impact on my block?”
These 15 words prompt us to look to our neighbors citywide and find practical ways to work together as a community. And why not start today?
Inspired by Jahmal Cole’s 15 words, today the Chicago Bungalow Association is making contributions to 15 organizations who fortify our Black communities on the block level:
1. My Block, My Hood, My City
2. Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corp
3. The Neighborhood Network Alliance
4. Avalon Park Block Club Association
5. Park Manor Neighbors Association
6. Austin Coming Together
7. West Chesterfield Community Association Inc.
8. Rosemoor Community Association
9. West Chatham Chicago
10. BIG: Blacks in Green
11. I Grow Chicago
12. Claretian Associates, Inc.
13. DuSable Museum of African American History
14. National Public Housing Museum
15. (Tonika Lewis Johnson)
This is just the beginning. We are committed to building a stronger Chicago.

Hi everyone,
We still have 48 hours and ask for YOU to be a change maker!
South Side Community Federal Credit Union (SSCFCU) is hosting its milestone 15th Anniversary Fundraiser Celebration, "People Helping People" on Saturday, November 3, 2018 from 7p-11p at the DuSable Museum located 740 East 56th Place. SSCFCU is the only Community Development Credit Union on the south side. As the saying goes, "Time flies,"...well, it does and 15 years ago SSCFCU started on a grassroots journey created by Community Residents to provide financial services to the unbanked and underserved. Wow! In 15 years this not for profit financial institution has: 1. Invested more than $5.5 million in low interest rate loans to its Members on Chicago’s south side with low-income neighborhoods; 2. Provided financial literacy training to over 3,900 low-income individuals, helping them to gain the money management skills necessary to thrive in today’s economy; 3. Provided one-on-one financial, credit, and housing counseling to more than 3,000 community residents and first time home buyers through its HUD approved Housing Counseling Program; and 4. Improved the credit scores of 39% of SSCFCU borrowers through its Credit Building Loan Program. That’s just a sneak peek at what we do. And guess what? We did it with YOU! Yes, your kindness and generosity have put us on the map. Whether you volunteered to be an instructor in the FREE Financial Education series offered throughout the year; dropped off much needed office supplies to help stretch that SSCFCU dollar so it would go a whole lot further; or stop by to give heartfelt words of encouragement to lift our spirits, sweet and soothing, like a piece of homemade apple pie-SSCFCU gives its love to serve our Members and make our supporters and funders proud. Help us continue the work to increase how many savers and borrowers get on the Economic Freedom Train open to all. Join us as we celebrate the evening with a live band, Glenn Safford and Friends, food, libations, silent auction with door and raffle prizes all for a festive $75.00 ticket donation. There's still time and we ask you to support this Fundraiser in one of three ways: 1. Purchase tickets for you and another person; 2. Provide a product/service donation to feature in the silent auction, as a door prize or raffle item; and 3. Make a generous donation to a community changing Financial Institution...SSCFCU. I have attached more information with details. Call me now to confirm at (773) 814-4741.
