SUMMARY:Money Talks & Tu Bishvat Seder
DESCRIPTION:Money Talks is the Housing & Economic Justice Committee’s learning group about all things class\, wealth\, and economic justice. \nTu Bishvat is a Jewish holiday that marks the birthday of fruit bearing trees. This observance once had an essential role in ensuring that farmers were allowing the trees to rest every seven years. Today\, the holiday is sometimes marked by a Tu Bishvat Seder where participants eat fruits grown in Israel\, try fruit they’ve never tried before\, and ritually recognize our relationship to the land that nourishes us. What can this holiday and our modern day observance of it teach us about agricultural justice in a world with less and less supply chain transparency? What does halacha\, Jewish law\, say about agricultural justice? Come participate in a uniquely designed Tu Bishvat seder that will explore these questions and more. Co-hosted by Rabbi Suzanne Griffel and Sam Rose. \nThis Money Talks event is our second ever to meet in person! You can find resources from previous Money Talks sessions and information on future Money Talks sessions at bit.ly/moneytalks-schedule \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Bring Chicago Home Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:There are 65\,000 people in Chicago currently experiencing homelessness — and nearly 13\,000 are children. Rising rents\, gentrification\, and economic instability are making it harder for residents to access stable housing. Yet the city is spending barely any money on homelessness when compared to other major cities like New York and Los Angeles. We need to do better. \nBring Chicago Home (BCH) is the long-term\, systemic solution to homelessness our communities have been asking for. It would create a dedicated revenue stream for affordable housing and services — safely housing 12\,000 families over the next 10 years. We can do this by raising the one-time Real Estate Transfer Tax taxes only on properties purchased for more than $1 million. \nOn August 30th\, nieghbors from South Shore\, Hyde Park\, Woodlawn\, Chatham \,Grand Crossing\, and beyond will be coming together to learn more about Chicago’s homelessness crisis and Bring Chicago Home\, and to call on their alderpeople to pass this crucial legislation. We will have speakers\, music\, and a training on how to facilitate conversations about important issues like homelessness and Bring Chicago Home. Snacks and childcare provided. A free dinner will be served after the town hall. Alderpeople Robinson (4th)\, Yancy (5th)\, Mitchell (7th)\, and Harris (8th) have been invited. \nSign up to join us on August 30th!
