The milestone brings up feelings of “pride, happiness, joy,” said Nancy Lanoue, the lesbian founder and current co-executive director of the non-profit, which sprang from feminist roots and POLITICAL now serves a broad demographic of Chicagoans, including adults of all genders, teens and youth. ACTIVIST JEAN But it has not always been an easy go. In fact, things looked bleak for the organization early on. “Lots of bad things happened in the early years, including the death of my first partner, Jeannette HARDISTY DIES Pappas, who I had started the venture with,” Lanoue said. PAGE 6 The two women moved to Chicago together to build a women’s fitness center and start a karate program dedicated to women’s empowerment and safety. Two years after the Women’s Gym opened, Lanoue learned—on her 35th birthday—that she had breast cancer. Two years later, Pappas got pancreatic cancer and only lived eight more months. So, after only four and a half years in business, they had to close the Women’s Gym (it later re-opened with new owners). However, their karate program survived. In 1990, Lanoue reopened under a new name, Thousand Waves. A year later, her new partner (and now spouse), Sarah Ludden, also a martial arts instructor, moved here from California to help run the fledgling organization. Thousand Waves’ Nancy Lanoue.

  • Annual Report 2005

    Annual Report 2005

    ANNUAL REPORT 2005 CROSSROADS F U N D change, not charity Four decades later I am still uncomfortable with the credit given to me for starting the bus “ boycott. I would like [people] to know I was not the only person involved. I was just one of many who fought for freedom… As I look back on those days, it’s just like a dream. The only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest “ and to let it be known wherever we go that all of us should be free and equal and have all opportunities that others should have. Rosa Parks WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL REPORT TO ROSA PARKS. In school we learned Rosa Parks was too tired to give up her seat to a white rider, that her long day working as a seamstress left her too exhausted to move, that weariness is what motivated her defiance of the law in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, 1955. Our schoolbooks obscured the real story, the real Rosa Parks. Ms. Parks was an evolving community activist. She served as Secretary of the Montgomery NAACP from 1943 to 1957 and attended the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers’ rights and racial equality in Tennessee only six months before she sat on that particular bus. She was not the first black bus rider to have been arrested in Montgomery for refusing to move. Rather, she became central to a campaign organized by black activists, including herself, to create fundamental change on the local level, change that would have a catalytic effect on the civil rights movement in our country.

  • 2010 Report on Fiscal Year 2010 at Crossroads Fund, Fiscal Year 2010 Was the Year of the Youth

    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.
