1 COMMUNITY RENEWAL SOCIETY Letter from the Board President

The past three years have been a time of change at Community Renewal Society (CRS). We bid farewell to the Rev. Calvin S. Morris, Ph.D., as he retired after 15 years as executive director. And after a long and thorough search, we welcomed the Rev. Curtiss Paul DeYoung, Ed.D., to help us usher in a new chapter in our work for economic and racial justice.

COMMUNITY RENEWAL SOCIETY 2 Letter from the Executive Director

I arrived in Chicago in June 2014 as the 10th executive director of the 133-year-old Community Renewal Society (CRS). I succeed the important tenure of Dr. Calvin Morris, who was my seminary professor at Howard University in the 1980s.

CRS is an historic civil rights organization working for systemic racial and economic justice through the unique programmatic combination of church-based community organizing, policy advocacy and and Catalyst Chicago, remain at the cutting edge of investigative journalism. We are a faith-based independent investigative journalism, providing the organization representing over 70 member data and narratives that compel the work of social congregations with deep roots and relationships in justice in Chicago and Illinois. Our programmatic the United Church of Christ and the broader Christian e orts are making a signicant di erence. community, as well as a full embrace of interfaith and other community partners. 2015 marks a new season as we begin work on police accountability in Chicago. The real, lived experiences The previous four executive directors at CRS were of our churches and leaders have moved this to the from the civil rights era. I am deeply connected to forefront of our attention. We also join with the this generation through mentoring by Civil Rights national consensus emerging from the Ferguson, leaders and education at Howard University. Yet, in MO., and the #blacklivesmatter movements in this new season, we must fully move into the 21st addressing this concern.

3 COMMUNITY RENEWAL SOCIETY Our Programs

Organizing The Organizing program strengthens congregations by developing leaders who identify key issues a ecting our communities. CRS organizers bring churches together in powerful campaigns to a ect systemic change, and provide congregations with organizing training, mentoring and materials. A leadership council representing member congregations makes recommendations about the legislation and campaigns to be implemented over the course of the year.

Policy The Policy program works with CRS congregational leaders, community coalitions, and county and state elected ocials to develop and pass legislation primarily in areas of economic and criminal justice and tax reform. CRS Policy sta also equips people in local churches to examine their responsibilities as citizens through a theological lens via trainings, blogs, monthly e-news and social media.

The Chicago Reporter The Chicago Reporter was founded in 1972 to serve as a barometer for Chicago’s progress toward racial equality coming out of the civil rights era. As one of America’s most segregated cities, Chicago continues to experience racial and economic inequality. The Chicago Reporter serves a critical role in the city and nation by focusing the power of investigative reporting on issues of inequality that rarely receive thorough and regular examination. Our core areas of coverage are criminal justice, a ordable housing, labor and employment, government accountability and immigration. Catalyst Chicago For many civil rights advocates, education is the No. 1 issue and struggle of the day. On virtually every measure of academic achievement and opportunity, African-American students, especially males, are at the bottom, and Latinos are not far ahead. Catalyst Chicago tackles this inequity by serving as an independent journalistic watchdog and resource for school improvement, authoritatively speaking to the multiple audiences needed to adopt, implement and sustain sound education policy.

COMMUNITY RENEWAL SOCIETY 4 Organizing & Policy Highlights

The Policy and Organizing programs collaborate MLK Faith in Action Assembly to overcome the barriers of poverty and racism In 2011, CRS held the rst annual Martin Luther through congregational organizing, policy King Faith in Action Assembly. While that initial analysis and direct lobbying. In the past three assembly was attended by a few hundred years, CRS has gained the ability to create leaders, in 2014 it grew to nearly 1000 coordinated campaigns that are both grassroots congregational leaders! The annual assemblies and policy-driven. Our approach to faith-based have become a kick-o to yearly work and a community organizing and public policy place where congregations can hold elected advocacy is focused on systemic change and is ocials accountable for taking action on the based on relationship-building. needs of our communities. CRS’ Policy program was created through a merger with Protestants for the Common Good (PCG) in January of 2013. The merger was the fruit of many months of planning and discussion between the two boards of directors and years of work on common issuses. When PCG joined CRS, the names of both PCG and the Civic Action Network were changed to the Policy and Organizing programs of CRS.

Since 2012, CRS has added more than 25 congregations to our network. CRS has strengthened the capacity of these congregations to become powerful forces for social justice and service in their communities. Accomplishments We help them lead campaigns for systemic change by providing training, congregational leaders with well-researched policy positions 2014: Reclaim Campaign Increased and legislative blueprints. Restorative Justice Funding

Cook County Commissioners created a new fund of a half million dollars for community-based restorative justice in 2014. As a result of joint policy and organizing e orts, the Reclaim Campaign – a collaborative e ort led by Community Renewal Society, Kenwood Oakland Community Organization and Southside Together Organizing for Power – achieved this victory. The goal of the Reclaim Campaign is to reduce violence by moving limited nancial resources away from the criminal justice system and into community-based restorative justice, mental health and substance abuse alternatives.

5 COMMUNITY RENEWAL SOCIETY 2013: Expanded Sealing Records in Illinois

FORCE leaders, along with CRS Policy and Organizing, played a central role in passing HB 3061, the Illinois Sealing Bill, through the Illinois General Assembly in 2013. This bill vastly expands record sealing for low-level, non-violent felony records, giving people a chance to turn their lives around, care for their families and become productive members of their communities.

It costs taxpayers nearly $500 million every year to sustain the overcrowded Cook County Jail. Meanwhile, Cook County allocates a mere $1.9 million into violence-prevention grants for community organizations. Increasing community-based restorative justice funding will help to rehabilitate individuals who need support and treatment and make our communities safer.

Each day, 3.9 million men and women in Illinois are being denied opportunities for decent employment, housing and education. Current law and practices deny hardworking, law-abiding individuals the chance to move forward from past mistakes. The sealing of old convictions promotes self-suciency, makes Illinois safer, and saves the state millions of dollars.

CRS worked closely with our coalition partners to The Reclaim Campaign held a public meeting of build legislative strategy, testify at committee more than 400 people with Cook County hearings, and lobby members of the General Commissioners and organized a powerful Assembly to pass the Illinois Sealing Bill with turnout from our base at all of the county signicant bipartisan support.

In passing the can now apply to have their criminal records budget amendment, numerous County sealed. Commissioners thanked CRS and the Reclaim Campaign for bringing this issue forward.

7 COMMUNITY RENEWAL SOCIETY Chicago Reporter Highlights

In July 2012, The Chicago Reporter produced an investigation which resulted in a $175 million U.S. Department of Justice settlement with mortgage lender Wells Fargo over discriminatory lending practices. The settlement resolves allegations that the lender and its brokers steered African-American and Latino borrowers into risky subprime loans more often than similarly situated white borrowers, while at the same time charging minority borrowers more for their loans during the nation’s housing boom. This investigation also spurred a $335 million After the Reporter's July/August story on public settlement against Countrywide, a subsidiary of housing vacancies, U.S. Department of Housing Bank of America, over similar allegations. & Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Secretary Sandra Henriquez came to Chicago to review the Chicago Housing Authority's (CHA) vacancy problem. For nearly a year, HUD and CHA had been denying open record requests by public interest attorneys seeking this data, but The Chicago Reporter was able to obtain it for our investigation. As a result, HUD put CHA ocials on notice that they needed to start leasing more empty units.

In the spring of 2014 our article “The House at Ground Zero,” written by Angela Caputo, prompted the Chicago City Council to pass an ordinance forcing lenders to register their vacant properties.
