Community groups in the greater Chinatown area announced a series of candidate forums Jan. 18 and encouraged community members to vote in the 2019 municipal election.
Along with 13 other community groups, the Coalition for a Better Chinese American Community, revealed their strategy for cultivating an informed and engaged electorate for the 2019 election. This strategy includes the upcoming forums for the 25th ward alderman on Jan. 28 and for mayoral candidates on Feb. 11.
“Now we are only weeks away from the municipal election, which many people consider one of the most significant one in decades that we can remember, particularly in our community,” said C.W. Chan, the chairman of CBCAC.
By the end of 2018, 15 candidates remained in the Chicago mayor's race, and five candidates were running for the 25th ward alderman position. Neither of the races will see an incumbent competing to keep their seat.
“That makes this election more dynamic, more interesting, and I think it should generate a lot of interest from the community,” said Chan.
Located in the 25th ward, Chinatown is considered as the heart of the Chinese community in Chicago. According to the data on Census Tract 8411 (which approximates the boundaries of Chinatown’s core), 68.9 percent of the Chinatown population is foreign born, many of whom are recent immigrants.

Statistics from the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners indicate that in the 2018 general election, Chicago had a 61 percent voter turnout. In comparison, voter turnout in Chinatown was only 37 percent. In the 2015 city elections, the turnout in Chinatown was 24 percent— ten percent lower than the city average.

In addition to candidate forums, CBCAC will continue mobilizing the community through phone banking, passing out pledge cards and knocking on doors to help the community understand the significance of the election process. To increase participation in the elections, the 25th ward candidate forum will have translation services available for Cantonese and Mandarin speakers.
Voting machines in Chinatown will also show all the ballots in four languages: English, Spanish, Chinese and Hindi. On the election day, Chinese paper ballots will be provided at the 61 Chinese precincts across Chicago.
“Our community has a lot of immigrants, so immigrants cannot vote. But once they become citizens, sometimes they only think about helping their relatives come over from Asia,” said David Wu, the executive director of the Pui Tak Center. “Sometimes people think that elections don't matter … but there's so many decisions at the local city level that affects our life.”

Incarceration affects many black and brown people in Chicago, whether prosecuted or not. One of the forces in Chicago actively working towards dismantling the criminal justice system is an organization run and lead by students.

DePaul University’s student organization “Students Against Incarceration” (SAI) held a community barbecue on September 8 at Oz Park, near North Burling Street and West Webster Avenue. The event was held as an introduction to not only the work of the organization, but to the collaborations between other local organizations who have similar missions.

This is the second community barbecue that the organization has had. Representatives from a few collaborative organizations spoke at the barbecue, including Brian Orozco from Kulis Law Firm and Susana Stoll from Chicago Community Bond Fund. James Derecskey, subcommittee chair of SAI, gave a brief description of Black and Pink Chicago. Political science professor Christina Rivers spoke about working with Cook County and Streeterville prisons to help incarcerated individuals register to vote. Monica Cosby, a community organizer for Westside Justice Center, was unable to attend the barbecue, but the organization continues to collaborate with SAI.

SAI was founded in 2016 by DePaul students Alexandria Boutros and Rebecca Bretz. The organization believes that people who are incarcerated, formerly incarcerated and in criminalized communities need to be supported. For more information on SAI, visit the organization’s Facebook page.

Trinisa Williams is a member of the Hatchery, a food business incubator that just opened in East Garfield Park. She's also a resident of Garfield Park-- one of only a few West Side entrepreneurs working with the Hatchery to start a business.

The $34 million facility brings a massive investment and hundreds of jobs to one of the city's most disinvested neighborhoods. But what kind of change will that investment bring, and who will it serve?

See how the community is preparing to make sure that the transformation that the Hatchery is bringing is one that is inclusive of the residents of Garfield Park, and how entrepreneurs like Trinisa are making sure that their community is not left behind.

Facing constant battles with mental health, Angelica Lewis, a resident of North Lawndale, turned to her yoga mat to find inner peace and balance. Lewis spoke to The Real Chi about the importance of self-care and how she overcame challenges to bring herself back to center. Read more here: https://freespiritmedia.org/features-...

039 - Activation Energy

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the activation energy is a measure of the amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Due to the collision theory the activation energy requires proper energy and orientation of the colliding molecules. The Maxwell-Boltzman distribution can be used to determine the number of particles above and below this point.
