IRS990/Desc0GRASSROOTS ILLINOIS ACTION COORDINATED A COALITION OF 10 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, WORKING ON A NON-PARTISANM NON-BINDING BALLOT INITIATIVE WHICH ASKED VOTERS IF THEY SUPPORTED AN ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE SCHOOL BOARD FOR CHICAGO. GIA WAS INVOLVED IN BOTH THE CIRCULATION OF PETITIONS TO PLACE THE QUESTION ON THE BALLOT, AS WELL AS VOTER EDUCATION AHEAD OF THE FEBRUARY 2015 ELECTIONS. GIA WORKED WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO IDENTIFY AND ORGANIZE AROUND ISSUES THAT MATTERED TO THEM. RESIDENTS WORKED ON ANTI-GENTRIFICATION, EDUCATION, AND OTHER ISSUES. WE ORGANIZED TEAMS OF MEMBERS TO VISIT THE ALDERMAN TOGETHER TO ASK HIM TO SUPPORT DIFFERENT LEGISLATION THAT BENEFITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THESE HAVE INCLUDED OPENING OF THE HUMBOLDT PARK BEACH AND A MORATORIUM ON NEW CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR ONE YEAR. ALD. MALDONADO DECIDED TO SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION ALONG WITH 48 OTHER ALDERMEN AND THE BEACH IS SET TO OPEN LATER THIS YEAR. A MUSIC FESTIVAL CALLED RIOT FEST THAT HAD BEEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THREE YEARS AND HAD OUTGROWN THE CAPACITY OF HUMBOLDT PARK. MEMBERS OF GRASSROOTS ILLINOIS ACTION IN HUMBOLDT PARK SPOKE OUT AT PARK DISTRICT MEETINGS, MET WITH THE ALDERMAN, AND SPOKE TO THE PRESS ABOUT THE AFFECT THIS EVENT HAD ON THE LONG-TIME RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR EFFORTS TO MOVE THE FESTIVAL OUT OF HUMBOLDT PARK. WORKING ON ISSUES OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND GENTRIFICATION, WE ORGANIZED 2 SESSIONS NEAR THE 606, A NEW ELEVATED RUNNING PATH CAUSING RAPID INCREASE IN PROPERTY VALUES, WITH THE LOGAN SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WHERE WE HELPED HOMEOWNERS TO APPEAL THEIR PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS. MEMBERS WENT DOOR-KNOCKING FROM WESTERN TO PULASKI TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT OUR FREE MULTILINGUAL PROPERTY TAX APPEAL WORKSHOPS WHERE WE INVITED THE COOK COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE TO EXPLAIN HOW TO FILL OUT THIS FORM. WE ALSO DID EDUCATIONAL PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH TO RESIDENTS ABOUT OUR LARGER CAMPAIGN TO FIGHT FOR PROPERTY TAX REFORM THAT WOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT A HOMEOWNER'S INCOME RATHER THAN JUST THEIR PROPERTY VALUE, WHEN ACCESSING THEIR PROPERTY.
