Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence
    Chicago's City Council's Increasing Independence Chicago City Council Report May 7, 2003 – November 15, 2006 Authored By: Dick Simpson and Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 27, 2006 1 In our earlier study of the Chicago City Council, from May 7, 2003 until December 7, 2005, we highlighted the Council’s newly found independence. In this last year, from December 15, 2005 to November 15, 2006, there has been increasing independence in city council voting. During the last eleven months there have been 20 divided role call votes, approximately two per month. The average aldermanic support for the mayor on these key divided votes has decreased slightly from 84% to 83%. More importantly, the mayor lost the “Foie Gras Ban” and the more critical “Big Box” ordinance, which for the first time since he was elected in 1989, forced him to use his mayoral veto. His father, Richard J. Daley, did not have to use the mayoral veto during his 22 years in office. On the other hand, Mayor Harold Washington used his veto powers frequently during his first four-year term. This Mayor Daley’s near total control of the previously rubber stamp city council has been weakened by the continuing patronage and corruption scandals. He has faced growing opposition at the grassroots, including labor unions, community groups, and organizing in the minority communities by previous and current mayoral candidates Jesse Jackson Jr., Luis Gutierrez, Dorothy Brown, and Bill "Dock" Walls. Five major issues have dominated the city council in the last year: (1) foie gras ban in restaurants, (2) aldermanic pay, (3) minimum wage requirements for large retailers (“Big Box Ordinance”), (4) a requirement for hotels to inform guests of a hotel workers’ strike, and (5) the downtown parking garage deal.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.

  • 2010 Report on Fiscal Year 2010 at Crossroads Fund, Fiscal Year 2010 Was the Year of the Youth
    At The CROSSROWAinter AnnDual 2009 –S 2010 Report on Fiscal Year 2010 At Crossroads Fund, Fiscal Year 2010 was the year of the youth. We were proud to conclude our third year of grantmaking through the Youth Fund for Social Change, a special program that focuses resources on advocacy and youth activism in the Chicago area. The Youth Fund for Social Change highlights our work to help build movements for racial, social and economic justice. At a time when young people were not engaged to vote in the mid-term elections, when the youth unemployment rate is higher than any year since 1948, and when funding for public education is facing grim austerity-related cuts, Crossroads Fund is providing resources to empower young people to work across social justice issues. Crossroads Fund provides grants. To date, we have distributed $94,500 through the Youth Fund, and we plan to disseminate an additional $30,000 in 2011. Crossroads Fund provides innovative trainings, workshops and coaching. Last fall, we partnered with the Woods Fund and Jane Addams Senior Caucus to bring the Highlander Center to Chicago, to present a training on popular education and organizing; this training was intergenerational and had a special track devoted to youth. We also partnered with the Freedom School and Project Nia to present a session on Martin Luther King Day 2010 that was targeted to youth. We have assisted youth in understanding different kinds of activism, and we have provided youth with specialized training on managing their resources . Crossroads Fund partners with other foundations to bring resources to youth.
