Spot-on OpEd from CEO of @Discover on their success in Chatham: “I would encourage CEOs of other Chicago corporations to think differently about how you do business and use your platforms to advocate for change and bring job opportunities to our South and West Side communities.”

This is a great video about wealth inequality in the USA, it's a wonderful explainer that's still extremely relevant.
The problem is, it's using figures from 13-15 years ago. The problems addressed in this video have gotten DRASTICALLY worse since this was made. Just over the pandemic alone we had the largest transfer of wealth ever recorded from the working class to the upper 1%

# 5 These are measures that will render the ethics office ineffectual and which no Member, from either party, should support. The provisions must be changed. #ethics #rulespackage

Mahalia Jackson's voice has been the echoing sound of the civil rights movement for decades. That’s why it's our honor to open the city's newest public outdoor plaza in Chatham named after her.

Ribbon cutting w/ @chicagosmayor at new @Discover customer care center in #Chatham - will employ 1000 from the South Side w/ benefits & college tuition. As CEO Roger H says "The South Side is good for business." This is their top performing center in the US! #InvestSouthWest

Today's official grand opening of @Discover Financial Services Customer Care Center in Chatham is proof that the intersection of doing the right thing and good for business are not a contradiction, but the future of true business leadership.

A great day for all of Chicago!

why is sleeping at night so hard but sleeping in the morning is like drifting away on a soft fluffy cloud while adele sings you a lullaby

My short answer overall: Yes ... Celebrate a time to be thankful, with friends, with family, and with loved ones. But don't celebrate a false history, created just because you couldn't be trusted with the truth. You are smarter than historians gave you credit for.

Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited.

Racism is about power.

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.
