This page began as a base for my campaign for Democratic Committeeperson in the 50th Ward and is now used for general advocacy, grassroots organizing, and dissemination of information. I love amplifying the work of fellow parents, teachers, and neighbors, so send me a link to your page and I will happily add in the footer!
Solidarity Signs
A 50th Ward Small Business Fundraiser
We are partnering with Life Quilt Foundation, "stitching the community together with resources," for our 50th Ward Small Business Fundraiser because we know that supporting immigrant students and families means supporting the small local businesses that allow them access to their culture, their language, their life essentials, and their livelihood.
In such an unprecedented time, our kids need their world to be as stable as it can be. They do not need to worry about where they will buy their food or how their family will earn a pay check. What's more, supporting small businesses means vulnerable residents do not need to ride the bus to buy their essentials and stores will be able to access more means to ensure safe practices during COVID-19. This fundraiser is about brining our community together in a time when we must stay apart. In the end, we hope we will all be stronger for it. We will be asking community orgs and PTAs to nominate the businesses and share 100% of the funds among the nominees.
Donate any amount, message your address to @Hallefor50 (on Facebook) and receive a free window sign! Life Quilt Foundation is a 501c3, so ask your employer about matching opportunities!

The One Fair Wage campaign has launched an emergency cash relief fund and is offering $213 in cash for any tipped worker affected after some states including Illinois temporarily shut down bars and restaurants to stop the spread of the virus.
