Family Focus 2021 Stronger Together Virtual Celebration Program Honoring Sharad Kapur and John G. Levi and celebrating the merger of Family Focus and Chicago Child Care Society Dear Friends, Welcome to the Family Focus Stronger Together celebration! This is our first public event after merging Chicago Child Care Society and Family Focus on January 1st, 2021. We’re so glad you are joining us tonight to celebrate that achievement! This evening you’ll meet the people and places that make Family Focus special. There is a lot of fun, from carpool karaoke to celebratory words from local and national figures, and celebrities. But along with all the fun, there is an important message about the power of sustained, authentic family support delivered with passion, respect for various cultures, and the unwa- vering belief that we all want opportunities, purpose, and joy for every member of our community. The response from donors to tonight’s event has been humbling and exhilarating. We are on the path to raise a record amount in critical support of the 19,000 people who count on Family Focus annually. The first $50,000 in donations received from June 22nd – June 30th will be matched 1:1 through a special challenge gift to help us reach and exceed that goal. Enjoy the show, whether you are watching from home, in the company of friends, via Zoom or at one of the Family Focus Center viewing parties. From wherever you watch, know that you are part of a community of support changing lives. We’re STRONGER TOGETHER!

    1 Mayoral Election in Evanston, Illinois: In the Wake of Covid-19 I Logistics On February 23, 2021, Evanston, Illinois had a Local Primary Election. The ballot included races for aldermen, City Clerk positions, and mayor. Each city in the United States dictates how local elections are held. Evanston only holds local primary elections for mayoral candidates if there are more than two candidates, and this year there were three: Daniel Biss, Lori Keenan, and Sebastian Nalls. In Evanton, when there is a primary election, if one of the candidates running for mayor receives a majority of the votes, they win by default; however, if none of the candidates receive a majority, then the two candidates with the most votes will face off again in an April election. If a primary election was forced, meaning there were initially only two candidates, then only one election in April takes place rather than a primary and subsequent election.1 In the case of the recent mayoral election, Daniel Biss received a majority of the votes in the primary election so there was not a secondary race in the later April election. II Candidates, Campaigns, and Covid-19 The Daily Northwestern, the self-proclaimed “only daily news source” of Northwestern and Evanston, links information in an article entitled “Everything you need to know about Evanston’s municipal primary” which lists information about each of the three mayoral candidates that ran in the recent mayoral race; the first candidate listed was Daniel Biss.2Daniel Biss’s campaign focused on a positive future for Evanston, especially in the wake of Covid-19.

  • The Anatomy of Influence: Government Unions in Illinois
    The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois David Giuliani | Government reform analyst Chris Andriesen | Project manager Illinois Policy Institute TABLE OF CONTENTS Overall union membership Employment and union membership in Illinois 6 Overall employment, public sector vs. private sector 8 Union profiles Illinois Education Association 10 Illinois Federation of Teachers 12 American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 14 Service Employees International Union 16 Union spending Partisan breakdown 20 Largest beneficiaries 22 99th General Assembly 29 ILLINOISPOLICY.ORG | 3 INTRODUCTION In 24 states, employees of a unionized workplace can decide for themselves whether they want to join and financially support a union. In Wisconsin, this choice is extended to employees of state government. But not in Illinois; almost all government workers – including teachers, police officers and those who serve in state government – are required to pay money to a union to keep their jobs. Because of this, government unions in Illinois have long been powerful in state politics, with the major government unions donating tens of millions of dollars to political campaigns. Since 2002, Illinois’ five major government unions have spent more than $46 million on direct political contributions alone. “The anatomy of influence: Government unions in Illinois” takes a close look at unions’ political spending and the influence afforded to government unions as a result. This analysis offers an unprecedented review of the political donations to the current Illinois General Assembly, as well as top recipients of union political giving since 2002. It also highlights how profitable the business of forced unionization can be for those who run the unions by listing a sampling of the highest-compensated employees for the state’s major government unions: the Illinois Education Association; Illinois Federation of Teachers; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31; and Service Employees International Union.

  • Post-Election Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Voting Totals, Trends and Statistics During the March Primary Throughout Suburban Cook County
    Letter from David Orr Cook County Clerk Dear Friends: This March 20 Gubernatorial Primary generated great interest up and down the ballot, and we saw this result in record-breaking or near-record setting marks in the number of registered voters, voters who took part in the election, the percentage of voters who participated in Early Voting, and the overall turnout rate. Not only have we reached a record-high number of registered voters in suburban Cook County (1,549,688), the turnout for Early Voting was higher than any other Gubernatorial Primary and nearly as high as the 2016 Presidential Primary, and the number of voters who cast ballots in this election was more than had participated in a Gubernatorial Primary Election in the last 30 years. This 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 29 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting also set a new Gubernatorial Primary record with 109,811 ballots cast in-person before Election Day. That’s the highest total yet for a Gubernatorial Primary, and for Primary Elections, second only to the 2016 Presidential Primary (120,681). • Election Day Registration, offered for the first time in a Gubernatorial Primary, was popular with voters, especially younger ones. Voters between 17 and 22 years old made up 32 percent of the 4,278 who took advantage of Election Day Registration.

  • June 12, 2020 Dear Vice President Biden, Every Election Is Called
    June 12, 2020 Dear Vice President Biden, Every election is called "the most important in our lifetime" but, as you have emphasized, 2020 really is. Due to the twin pathogens of Trump and Trumpism, the outcome this fall could keep America on the road to lawless authoritarianism or reroute us to a stronger democracy. A crisis election as big as 1932 requires a big running mate. So why not the best? You have announced both that you will choose a woman and "the most important thing is that it has to be someone who, the day after they're picked, is prepared to be president of the United States of America if something happened." This choice of course is yours alone to make. Since you're a well-known listener, however, we'd like to offer our advice. We 100+ progressive former public officials, authors, actors, activists, advocates and scholars agree that the most important criterion is who would be most capable to be President if necessary. In our view, Elizabeth Warren has proven herself most prepared to ​ be President if the occasion arises and deeply expert on the overlapping emergencies now plaguing America – Covid-19, Economic Insecurity, Racial Injustice and Climate Change: ​ ​ *She's a policy expert. During the presidential campaign, her refrain was, "I have a plan for that" ​ – and she did. Her 50+ "plans" over the past year distinguish her as the only campaign that provided a de facto real-time transition report for whomever won the office. After her candidacy ended, she returned right back to the Senate and immediately responded to our multiple monumental crises with an array of much-lauded policy proposals.
