Orland Park Dealt Setback in Lawsuit Challenging COVID-19 Restrictions SECTIONS ADVERTISEMENT DAILY SOUTHTOWN SUBURBS Orland Park dealt setback in lawsuit challenging COVID-19 restrictions By MIKE NOLAN DAILY SOUTHTOWN | AUG 04, 2020 A federal judge has dealt a setback for Orland Park in its lawsuit alleging Gov. J.B. Pritzker overstepped his authority in issuing restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. (Scott P. Yates / AP) Orland Park elected officials have been dealt a serious setback in a lawsuit filed in June challenging Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s restrictions put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A federal judge denied a motion by the village seeking a temporary restraining order as well as a preliminary injunction to overturn a series of executive orders issued by the governor. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT The ruling, spelled out in an Aug. 1 opinion, doesn’t end the lawsuit, but U.S. District Court Judge Andrea Wood clearly indicated the village’s odds of ultimately being successful were very slim. Filed June 16 in federal court in Chicago, the lawsuit alleges the state-imposed restrictions violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the Constitution and that Pritzker overstepped his authority. The motion for the temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction was filed the following day.

ADVERTISEMENT R l Wood told attorneys for the village and Pritzker during a conference call July 29 that she was denying Orland Park’s motion, according to court records. A status conference has been scheduled for Sept. 29. Wood ruled the village and other plaintiffs failed to show they have been unduly harmed by the governor’s order and would have “a negligible likelihood of success” in pressing their claims. The lawsuit argues, in part, that Pritzker had “failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that public health is significantly endangered without” restrictions on businesses and residents.

The judge said that the restrictions “undoubtedly have a real and substantialSUBSCRIBE relationship to LOG IN SECTIONS TODAY preventing the spread” of the virus, and the plaintiffs failed to show the executive orders had seriously impaired their rights CORONAVIRUSto work, travel IN orILLINOIS freedom UPDATES of association. Wood pointed out that even initial curbs still permitted socially distant gatherings outside in groups of 10 or less. The lawsuit alleged that some restrictions fell heavier on certain businesses than others, such as restaurants and bars initially not being allowed to have customers inside, while grocery stores were viewed as essential businesses. The judge wrote that “eating at a restaurant or drinking at a bar is a luxury compared to buying food and other household essentials at a grocery store,” and that restaurants were allowed to continue serving customers through carryout and delivery options.

At Monday’s Village Board meeting, Trustee Dan Calandriello summarized the judge’s ruling and scoffed that village taxpayers had spent about $66,000 “on getting laughed (at) by the judge.” On the governor’s pending motion to dismiss the lawsuit, attorneys for the plaintiffs have until Sept. 2 to respond, with the state’s response due by Sept. 16. Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau and some trustees have, over the last several weeks, been critical of the pace of reopening the state economy, with the village even putting forward its own roadmap to restart the local economy. In a video message Tuesday posted at village’s website, Pekau said that local metrics as far as new cases and hospitalization rates showed village businesses could fully reopen, under the village’s plan, but that some businesses are taking customer preferences into consideration and holding off on returning to pre-pandemic conditions.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (sic.) do nothing.” Edmund Burke In 1882 several “good” people of faith, were concerned and troubled by the social conditions in which some of their fellow Chicagoans lived. Determined to assist them in bettering their circumstances, they founded the Chicago Missionary Society, a predecessor of the Community Renewal Society. Since that time of urbanization and industrialization, which brought a massive influx of European immigrants to this city, Community Renewal has endeavored to ensure that the quality of life for all Chicagoans, regardless of their station, racial or ethnic identity, or their economic circumstance, was in keeping with God’s love for all, “especially the least of these.” Chicago still faces glaring inequalities and troubling disparities Honoring our historic legacy, we at Community among its people, including a widening gulf between rich and Renewal Society organize and train good people poor.

  • Ally Advocacy, Identity Reconfiguration, and Political Change
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “THE FIGHT IS YOURS”: ALLY ADVOCACY, IDENTITY RECONFIGURATION, AND POLITICAL CHANGE William Howell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Trevor Parry-Giles, Department of Communication Since at least 1990, scholars and activists have used the term “ally” to describe and theorize a distinct sociopolitical role: someone from a majority identity group working to end that group’s oppression of another identity group. While the term is recent, “allies” are present throughout America’s constant struggle to actualize equality and justice. The identity-rooted ideologies that empowered allies disempowered the groups for and with whom they sought justice and equality. But those empowering identities were pieces, more or less salient, of complex intersectional people. Given the shared nature of identity, this process also necessarily pitted allies against those with whom they shared an identity. In this project, I ask two questions about past ally advocacy—questions that are often asked about contemporary ally advocacy. First, in moments of major civil rights reform, how did allies engage their own intersecting identities—especially those ideologically-charged identities with accrued power from generations of marginalizing and oppressing? Second, how did allies engage other identities that were not theirs—especially identities on whose oppression their privilege was built? In asking these two questions—about self-identity and others’ identity—I assemble numerous rhetorical fragments into “ally advocacy.” This bricolage is in recognition of rhetoric’s fragmentary nature, and in response to Michael Calvin McGee’s call to assemble texts for criticism. I intend to demonstrate that ally advocacy is such a text, manifesting (among other contexts) around the women’s suffrage amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the marriage equality movement.
