Wilson Ave. - - Suite 202 FOR FURTHER I1'.'!f'ORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Angela Lind 549-9457 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JOSE JIMENEZ CALLS FOR CITY AND STATE ACTION ON HOUSING CRISIS IN TESTIMONY BEFORE STATE SPANISH SPEAKING STUDY COMMISSION J ose Cha-Cha J i menez, Aldermanic candidate in the 46th ward, present ed today to the State's Spanish Speaking Peoples Study commission a series of recommendations for immediate action by state and city government to help stabilize communities throughout Chicago which are currently facing a major housing crisis. Tl:ie two strongest recommenda- tions called for careful monitoring and immediate action to insure that the millions of newly released federal Housing and Community Developnent Act dollars flowing into the city and state actually be used for low and moderate income housing. Also outlined was a new City Council ordinance which would require that landlords place security deposits with the city to be used for emergency repair of serious health and safety hazards. In an interview after his tes t imony, Jimenez emphasized that over 40 million dollars ( only a first i nstallment) is corning into the city right away. Documenting the city's past practices of using federal dollars to reloca te slums instead of rehabilit ating them, Jimenez demanded full citizen participation in planning how the new money will be spent. He warned that without strong action by the City Council and state government Chicagoans will be faced by another decade of deteriorating and unstable neighborhoods. "Just last year, in 1973, twice as many housing Ltnits were destroyed as were built here in the city of Chicago. many of those new units were luxury apartments. M () R F. And Where is the low and �page 2 moderate income housing?" In another important recommendation to the Commission. Jimenez testified ''We have an enormous problem in this city of serious safety and health hazards in apartment buildings which the city is all too often powerless to correct. To help eliminate these dangers, I am proposing a City Council ordinance that would require landlords to deposit funds with the city as security to be used for emergency repairs in cases when owners do not take prompt action to correct these conditions on their own. This ordinance is designed to remove major safety violations and help control the further deterioration of so many of our homes." Interest less a small administrative fee would be returned to the landlords on their security deposits of $100 per unit with a maximum limit of $20,000 per owner. Jimenez urged the Commission to devise comparabie legislation at the state level. He also asked the Commission to support local efforts for citizen control of zoning --land use-- such as the Community Zoning Board Ordinance now before the City Council. And he pointed to Rep. Joe Lundy's House Bill 1345 now pending in Springfield as an important step in safeguarding the interests of the majority of urban residents who are apartment renters. Jimenez' recommendations came after a vivid description of the history of the Latino community's long struggle for decent housing and stable neighborhoods. ''We must be allowed to contribute ideas and participate actively at every level of government •••• we desperately need and want stable communities." 30 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Esta fue una decision muy importante, no solo porque nunca se ha electo un Latino al City Council o a la legislatura en Springfield, pero tambien porque par primera vez uno de nosotros tratara de resolver los problemas que afectan a todos los residentes de esta area, especialmente a los Latinos. Yo nae{ en las afueras de Caguas, P.R., y vine a los EEUU cuando tenia dos a~os. Primera vivimos cerca de la Clark y Chicago Ave. Antes de llegar al . octavo grado •mi familia se hab{a tenido que mudar ya nueve veces, por culpa de "Urban Renewal''. Nos teniamos que mudar de un barrio pobre a otro. Como era joven y habian muchas gangas, yo tambien tuve que entrar en una. Pero mi madre daba clases de catecismo en nuestra sala, pues era muy religiosa. Me influyo lo suficiente para que dejara la ganga, cuando tenia 18 a~os. Esto ocurrio durante la Convencion Dem6crata aqui en 1968, y despues de la muerte del Dr. Martin Luther King. Decid{ entonces comenzar una organizaci6n para ayudar a personas pobres, especialmente a Latinos. Hae! naci6 The Concerned Puerto Rican Youth; despues The Puerto Rican Progressive Movement. Aun mas tarde re-organize la ganga a la cual hab!a pertenecido y la converti en una organizaci6n pol{tica para luchar par las derechos civiles de nosotros. Organizamos un programa de desayunos gratis para los ninos, una clinica gratis, un day care center gratis, programas culturaleb, ropa gratis y una oficina legal gratis con 10 abogados para servir a la comunidad. Mejores viviendas fue la razon principal de nuestro envolvimiento. Negociamos varias veces para proporcionar viviendas para personas de baja entrada econOmica. Por ejemplo, negociamos para que se asignaran $600,000 para viviendas para personas pobres, Pero al final tuvimos que mudarnos una vez mas. Nuestros planes conflijian con los de Urban Renewal. Desde la Clark nos hecharon a muchos de nosotros hasta aqu{ en Lakeview y Uptown, y cada vez con promesas de mejores apartamentos, escuelas, trabajos, etc., etc. Pero las promesas nunca fueron cumplidas. Par eso soy candidato para Alderman. Yo no quiere que se abuse mas de los Latinos y de otros pobres. El Alderman que tenemos ahora pertenece al mismo grupo de personas que nos han estado empujando por anos. El dice que ha construido escuelas y centros de recreo, y hasta una biblioteca. Cuando hable con las personas de la biblioteca y de los centros de recreo ellos me dijeron que nuestro Alderman nunca las ayudo, pero que s! vino al Open House! Y usted mismo sabe queen nuestra area nose ha construido ni una sola escuela para nuestros nii'ios. �Desde junio mi campana a registrado a mas de 5,000 nuevos votantes, y nuestro Alderman actual gan6 en las ultimas elecciones con solo 7,000 votos. Hemos ayudado a mas de 4,000 familias con nuestros programas medicos, legales, de welfare, y de comida para casos de emergencia. En Navidades repartimos comida y jugetes entre 2,000 familias. Mi campana a sido la unica que a traido a la luz los problemas reales. La campana de las otros candidatos solo a regado runores y nos han atacado maliciosamente. Lucharemos por ayudar al pequeno propietario, y forzaremos a las grandes propietarios que reparen sue edificios. Lucharemos par que decisiones importantes se hagan al nivel de la comunidad, par que el pueblo tenga una voz. Haremos todo lo posible por la persona de la calle. Tenemos una buena campana. Por primera vez luce que un Latino puede ganar. Pero NECESITAMOS TU AYUDA. Siempre he dicho que "individuos solos no producen el cambio -- que solo personas trabajando unidas producen cambios." Esta elecci6n n6 es partidaria. N6 importa si eres Dem6crata o Republicano, De una forma u otra puedes votar por m!. Tambien vota par quien quieras para alcalde. Pero recuerda -- Republicano o Democrata -- primero somos Latinos.

That was a very important decision. Not only because there has never been a Latino elected to the City Council or to the capitol in Springfield, Ill., but also because for the first time someone was finally bringing out the issues that affect all residents of this area -- especially the Latinos. I was born in the country part of Caguas, Puerto Rico and came to the U.S. when I was two. We settled around Clark St. and Chicago Ave. (La Clark.) Before I reached the eighth grade, I -- and many other families -- were moved 9 times by Urban Renewal. We moved from slum to slum, because we were poor. Because I was young and there were many gangs, I too joined a street gang. However, because my mother taught catechism classes in her own home in the slum, and because she was very religious, she aided me in quitting the gang at the early age of 18 years old. This was also around the time of the large Democratic Convention in '68 and after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King. I decided I would start an organization to help Poor People -- especially Latinos. I started the Concerned Puerto Rican Youth, then, the Puerto Rican Progressive Movement, and later I reorganized the street gang I had been a member of into a Political Organization fighting for Civil Rights. We set up a "Free Breakfast for Children Program", a Free Health Clinic, a Free Day Care Center, a Cultural Program, a Free Clothing Program, and a Free People's Law Office with 10 lawyers to help the community. Because housing was the main reason we got involved, we negotiated many times for low-income housing. For example, we negotiated $600,000 for low-income housing before we were finally pushed out again by Urban Renewal. From "La Clark" they pushed many of us up here to Lakview and Uptown. Each time they made us promises for better housing, schools, jobs, etc., etc., but never kept them. This is why I am running for Alderman. I don't want Latinos and other Poor People to be pushed around anymore. The present Alderman is part of the same group of people that has been pushing us around. He cl.aims that he has built recreation centers, schools, and even a library. When I talked with officials from the library and the recreation centers, they informed me that the present Alderman never helped them but only came to their Open House. And you yourself know that in our area, no schools that will benefit us have been constructed. EL AMANECER DE UN NUEVO DIA THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY �So far since June my campaign has registered over 5,000 persons to vote, and the preBent Alderman won with only 7,000 votes in the last election. We've also helped over 4,000 families with our legal, welfare, medical and emergency food programs. At Christmas we gave food and toys to over 2,000 families. My campaign is also the only campaign that has come out with the issues. The other campaigns have only spread rumours and slung "mud" at us. We stated we will fight to help small landlords and force the big landlords to fix up their buildings. We will fight for important decisions to be made at the community level, so that we the People can have a voice. We will do anything we can to help the little man. We have a good campaign and for the first time it really looks like a Latino can win. However, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. I've aiways said that "individuals don't make change -- only. the People united can make change." This is a non-partisan election; so it doesn't make a difference whether you are Republican or a Democrat. Either way -- you can still vote for me. Vote for whomever you want for Mayor. But remember -- Democrat or Republican -- we are first Latinos and for Alderman VOTE FOR JOSE CHA-CHA JilIENEZ.

Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez, 46th Ward Aldermanic candidate, issued the following statement this morning. "In the last months of this campaign I have been viciously and slanderously attacked by my opponent, the present alderman of the 46th ward. Among other charges, he has stated to voters and to reporters that the fi.nancing of my campaign came from 'suspicious' sources. His campaign workers have even said that my campaign was finance d by the sale of drugs. I am here today to put an end to these vicious rumors by making a complete disclosure of my campaign finances, as I promised when my candidacy was announced, and to call upon my opponent to do the same. "I have filed my financial statements with the Board of Elections, which according to Illinois State law, all candidates must do. At the same time, this law only requires a disclosure of finances beginning January 1, 1975.

We, who live around Wilton and Grace, know how long we have waited fo~ a stop sign on our corner. It is our children who have had to dodge cars, and our seniors who have had to hope some kind driver will stop and le~ them cross. It is unjust for us to only receive city services around election time. We have had to suffer due to this type of politician for too long. from a full-time Alderman. We need full-tJme service For this reason, we feel that we want to share with you some points of information regarding our neighborhood and the stop sign. We would first like to inform you about our organizational work. Since June our campaign staffs have assisted over 1,000 people with problems of public aid and social security; over 600 with legal assistance often providing lawyers at little or no cost; over 1,400 with emergency food orders; over 600 with transportation; advocacy and follow-up around medical problems; over 150 with various complaints to city agencies; over 400 with housing problems of which 100 have been relocated in this ward. In early June, before Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez announced his candidacy, we went to the Alderman's office to inquire about putting stop signs on the corner of Wilton and Grace. There had already been numerous accidents; and after our requisition was brushed aside, the accidents continued. �You may remember the lady who was hit while riding a bicycle, or the car that spun around and hit a pedestrian, or possibly you can remember other'incidents. Actually, obtaining a stop sign is not difficult, es- pecially if your Alderman happens to be on the Traf1ic Committee as our opponent is. the Traffic Committee. veying team. The process is one of contacting The committee then sends out a sur- After they report back, the Traffic Committee then decides if that corner needs a stop sign or not. The present Alderman did sign his name authorizing a stop sign, but it actually has been the community fighting for four years that gave us the stop sign on Wilton and Grace. Our opponent has always proven to us that only when it is in his interest does he pay any attention at all to our community. (Such as a kite flying ordinance he tried to pass, only because the kites had his name on it. ) And now the st.op sign finally arrives close to election time. We believe that the community will decide the future of our neighborhood on February 25th. If by chance you have not had the opportunity to get to know us yet or our candidate, perhaps we will be seeing you at one of the many coffees your neighbors are having for Cha-Cha.

El Sr. Jimenez pidi6 un cmdados de los millones de dolares que otorgaran a la ciudad por medio del Acto Federal de Viviendad y Desarrollo Comunal. Sefial6 a la practica del pasado en que la ciudad realocaba los arrabales en lugar of rehabilitarlos ; y asf recomend6 energicamente las plena participacion del ciudadano en el planeamiento de! gasto de dichos fondos. El candidato a Consejal de! Ward 46 tambien delini6 una nueva ley municipal la cual requirfra que todo duefio de grandes edificios hiciera un deposito de seguridad con la· ciudad para usarse como fondo de emergencia para reparar fallas de seguridad y salud en sus propios edificios si no actuan por si solos. Bajo dicha le)' municipal cada duefio de grandes edificios depositana $100 por cada unidad con un lfmite maximo de $20,000 por duefio. "Esto-agreg6 Jimenez-ayudarfa a eliminar los peligros de seguridad y salud en los edificios de apartamientos en los que la ciudad no puede actuar para corregir." Jimenez ins to a la Comision a desarrollar legislacion parecida al nivel estatal... "Necesitamos y queremos deseperadamente comunidades estables" concluy6 Jose Jimenez. i Inform ante! jloma Accion ! 1. $43,800,000 provenientes de la Ley Federal de Habitaci6n y Desarrollo de la Communidad seran otorgados a la ciudad de Chicago en 1975. i,Como se utilizaran estos fondos? 2. Posiblemente se utilizaran para fortalecer nuestra comunidades, construir habitaciones nuevas al alcance de nuestros sueldos, y mejorar las viviendas existentes. 3. Posiblemente la ciudadania tendra una voz en las decisiones que se tomaran para gastar este dinero. PERO EST AS POSIBILIDADES SERAN REALIDAD UNICAMENTE SI: La ciudadania esta adecuadamente informada acerca de este programa, demanda y ejerce control popular, y elige representantes al Consejo Municipal que informaran al electorado y lucharan para que estos fondos sean utilizados para la gente, y no para los intereses do los especuladores y las conpaftias de bienes raices que construyen rascacielos de lujo junto al Iago. �El Modo en que Vivimos. • • 919-21 I 925-27 W. Buena 4153-55/ 4157-59 N. Sheridan 4032-34 Kenmore En marzo 14 de 1974 se encontraron 50 violaciones en estos edificios. En septiembre del mismo afi.o un juez orden6 la demolici6n de los edificios. Los inquilinos nb recibieron notificacion formal. A la vez, entre abril y noviembre, los edificios se dilapidaba a cause del descuido del duefio, quien fue ordenado por la corte que mantubiera los servicios y cuidado hasta que fuera desocupado. Varias personas de la comunidad pidieron que se iniciara el pr,oceso criminal por medio de la oficina de procurados del Estado acusando a Sr. Schwartz de negligencia y criminalidad por su comp·ortamiento en cuanto de estos edificios. Los cargos fueron retirados silenciosamente despties que pudo probar que habfa gastado grandes cantidades de dinero para mejorar y mantener los edificios. tQuien · es responsable de que los inquilinos vivan en estos edificios con 50 yiolaciones por casi un afio? La seguridad y salud en este edificio no existen. Los inquilinos permanecieron sin gas desde septiembre 30 a octubre 10; sin electricidad por 2 dfas y el duefio continu6 cobrando renta. A pesar que los inquilinos fueron forzados a vivir en condiciones infra humanas, se les demando que pagaran su alquilar total para noviembre 14, y ademas el dfa siguiente recibieron orden de de3alojar el edificio. Este edificio esta casitodo vacio. lA donde se fue la gente? De acuerdo a Cha Cha Jimenez "Solo el afio pasado, 1973, el numero de casas destruidas fue el doble de los que se edificaron en la ciudad de Chicago. Y muchas de estas unidades fueron apartamientos de lujo. 1,p6nde estan las viviendas para familias de bajos y moderados recursos? Jose Jimenez Introduce una Nueva Ley de Vivienda JOSE JIMENEZ PRESENT ARA NUEV A LEY PARA PROTEGER INQUILINOS razonable, la ciudad hara las reparaciones necessarias, ' pagandolas con el deposito de seguridad del propietario.

Cada propietario de edificios 1 de apartamientos depositara $100. con la cuidad por cada apartamiento alquilado (sin incluir su propio apartamiento). Lfmite de S20,000 por propietario. Esta dinero serfa un dep6sito de seguridad del propietario. 2. La cuidad colocara este dinero en bancos donde recibiria interes. Cada afio, el interes sera devuelto al propietario (menos costos de administraci6n). 3. Donde existan condiciones peligrosas o insalubres, inspectores de la ciudad verificaran las condiciones y notificaran al propietario. 4. En caso que el propietario no pueda ser localizado, o se niege a corregir la situaci6n dentro de un plazo 1. Violaciones del codigo de salubridad y construcci6n serfan corregidas rapidamente, asf protegiendo a inquilinos y el publico en general. 2. Las viviendas existentes serfan proservadas mas eficazmente. Hoy en dfa muchos edificios, por falta de mantenimiento o negligencia del propietario, se deterioran tan rapidamente que tienen que ser tumbados. PROGRAMAS Y LEYES COMO ESTA SON NECESARIOS PARA FORTALECER Y DESARROLLAR NUESTRA COMUNIDAD . . 2. �Arson Continua -Dos Persona de Edad Avanzada Muertos Los siniestros incendios continuan en nuestras comunidades. El incendio en el Hotel Sheridan Plaza cobr6 la vida de dos ancianas y dejo seriamente herido a otro. Los trabajadores de la Campana presentes durante el fuego reportaron que el incendio comenz6 en el decimo piso en donde se encontraron los cadaveres de las dos ancianas. Sin embargo se cree que el fuego fue ocasionado por manos criminales ya que a la vez se descubrieron fuegos simultaneos en el cuarto y septimo pisos. Se dice que el Hotel esta en el proceso de ser entregado a una agencia responsable para su mantenimiento ya los inquilinos se les habfa pedido que desocuparan sus apartamientos para noviembre 30. En una breve entrevista a Jose Cha Cha Jimenez amargadamente se expreso diciendo "Este es un claro ejemplo de la destruccion sistematica de nuestros barrios. Y es tambien un ejemplo de la necesidad de responsabilizar a los duefios de grandes edificios de la seguridad y la salud de todo inquilino por medio de un deposito de seguridad con la ciudad, que se usarfa para el mantenimiento de sus propios edificios." Cuando se registro el incendio 40 de 400 unidades estaban ocupadas. "Bajo el propuesto deposito de seguridad, dijo Jimenez, el dueiio del Sheridan Plaza debio haber tenido $20,000 en fondo para haber evitado la perdida de dos vidas".

"Jose Jimenez puts forth recommendations for safer, healthier housing and citizen participation in decision making." Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez testified and presented specific recommendations to the State's Spanish Speaking Peoples Study Commission, Saturday, November 16, at the Illinois Masonic Hospital auditorium . ~ Mr. Jimenez called for careful monitoring of millions of dollars coming into the city under the new Federal Housing and Community Development Act. He pointed out the city 's past practice of relocating slums instead of rehabilitating them and strongly · recommended full citizen participation in the planning of how the money will be spent. The candidate for alderman of the 46th Ward also outlined a new City Council ordinance which would require that landlords place security deposits with the city to be used for emergency repairs of serious health and safety hazards in their own buildings if the landlord fails to make the repairs on his own. Under this ordinance a landlord would deposit $100.00 per unit with the city with a maximum limit of $20,000 per owner. Landlorgs would receive interest on their deposits. "This," Jimenez said, "will help eliminate health and safety hazards in apartment buildings which the city is all too often powerless to correct. " Jimenez urged the Commission to devise comparable legislation at the state level. .. " We desperately need and want stable communities ," concluded Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez. Be Informed! Take Action! 43.8 Million Dollars in Federal Housing and Community Development Act funds are coming into Chicago in 1975. How will the city spend this money'? 1. 2. These funds can be used for stabilizing our neighborhoods, providing more low and moderate income housing, and improving existing housing. 3. Citizens can have a real voice in deciding how these funds are spent. BUT THIS WILL HAPPEN ONLY if citizens are well informed about this program, demand real citizen control, and elect representatives to the City Council who will keep them informed and take action to see that this and other money is used for people not for big real estate interests. �The Way We Live. • • 919-21/ 925-27 W. Buena 4153-55/ 4157-59 N. Sheridan Concern for the health and safety of tenants in this building is non-existent. Tenants remained without gas from Sept. 30 to Oct. 30, without electricity for 2 days; and the landlord continued to collect rent. Although tenants were forced to live in inhuman conditions, tenants received a letter demanding payment of rent in full on Nov. 14, and the following day were served eviction notices. This ·building is nearly empty now. Where did the people go? According to Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez, "Just last year, in 1973, twice as many housing units were destroyed as were built here in the city of Chicago. And many of those new units were luxury apartments. Where is the low and moderate income housing?" On March 14, 1974, 50 housing code violations were cited on these buildings. In Sept. 1974, a judge ordered demolition. Tenants were not given formal notice. In the mean time the buildings deteriorated from April to November due to the negligence of the landlord who was ordered by the court lo maintain utilities and upkeep of the buildings until they were vacated. At the request of several people, criminal housing prosecution was initialed by the Stales Attorney's Office citing the gross neglect and criminality of Mr. Schwartz in regards to the property at Buena Sheridan. Charges were quietly dropped because he was able to prove he had spent a great deal of money to improve and maintain the buildings in the past. Who is responsible for the fact that the tenants lived in a complex of buildings with 50 serious code violations for nearly a year? ~Jose Jimenez to Introduce New Housing Law .JOSE JIMENEZ TO INTRODUCE NEW LAW TO PROTECT TENANTS 4. If the landlord could not be found or if the landlord did not quickly correct the safely hazard, the city would use the landlord's security deposit to fix it. How this law would work: What this law would accomplish: Each landlord would deposit with the city $100 for every apartment to be rented out-not including his own apartment. Top limit for any rme owner would be $20,000. This money is a landlord security deposit. 2. The city would put the money in a bank so it would . draw interest. At the end of the year this interest would be given to the owner< less a small handling fee). :1. If an emergency health or safety hazard existed in a building, a special city team would inspect it quickly and notify the landlord. 1. I. Serious safety and health violations could be corrected quickly to protect tenants and the general public. Now the city can not see that this is done in many cases. 2. This is a way to help preserve housing. Many buildings 1, could be kept from deteriorating so badly that they have to be condemned and torn down. ~ We need this and many more creative programs to help" stabilize and develop our communities. �Arson Continues -- 2 Seniors Killed SHERIDAN PLAZA HOTEL FIRE Arson cases continue in our communities. The lives of two senior citizens were taken by the fire in the Sheridan Plaza Hotel early Sunday, November 17, and another elderly man was reported seriously injured in the blaze. Campaign workers on the scene reported that the fire had started on the 10th floor where the two women were found burned to death. However, arson is suspected since two other fires started at about the same time on the 7th and 4th floors. The Sheridan Plaza is said to be in receivership and even before the fire tenants were asked to vacate the building by November 30. In a brief interview with Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez, he bitterly said "This is a clear example of the systematic destruction of our neighborhoods. It is also an example of the need to hold landlords responsible for the safety and health of the tenants through a security deposit they would place with the city to be used for the maintenance of their buildings." At the time of the fire 40 units out of 400 were reported occupied. Under the proposed security deposit, Jimenez said, the owner of the Sheridan Plaza would have had $20,000 on deposit with the city which could have been used to make many repairs and possibly avoided the needless loss of two lives. He asked that this case be added to the other arson investigations by the campaign legal team. Campaign Notes Who we are ... The campaign to elect Jose Cha-Cha We need each other ...

El pasado 29 de Octubre a la 1 :20 de la madrugada se registro un incendio en el edificio de 15 unidades en 4645 Norte de la Kenmore. A la hora del incendio solo habia 8 unidades ocupados. Residentes del barrio le comunicaron a los trabajadores de la campana que todo el tercer piso se habia desocupado, salvo una unidad, con el proposito de remodelar los apartamientos ; aunque el trabajo nunca fue comenzado.

Por un lado reciben el dinero de la aceguaranza, por el otro pueden vender sus lotes a las grandes agencias de Biences y Raices. Bienes y Raices, edificos grandes, apartamientos con rentas demasiado altas, todos ganan menos la gente que se tiene que mudarse de un edificio malo a un edificio peor; de una comunidad inestable a otra comunidad inestable.

El Equipo Legal de La Campana se ha movilizado para asegurarse que se hace justicia en el case de William Rodriguez. Jos~ Cha-Cha JimJnez ha enfatizado la necesidad de controlar el crimen en nuestro barrio y ha dicho "el crimen se puede controlar cuando las relaciones de la comunidad y la policfa mejoren.

Donna, hermana mayor de Freddie, fue testigo de la entrada agresiva de cuatro hombres al apartamiento; entre ellos estaba William Strickland, su hijo y dos individios m~s. Ella vi6 como Strickland sacudi6 a su hermano menor y como le torcia su brazo a la vez que lo sacaba del dormitorio a empujones . Donna pudo ob- servar un revolver· bajo el brazo de Strickland, quien amenazo de balear al padre si lo veja en la calle. Freddy Jr. fue llevado al hospital cuando empez6 a quejarse de fuertes dolores de espalda y de no poder caminar libremente. El Hospital Weiss le recet6 pastillas para el dolor, masajes y descanso en cama pero no hubo ningun resultado. El padre le llevo en seguida al hospital Colombus donde fu~ admitido y permanecio hasta el viernes siguiente. Una orden de arresto foi expedida en contra de William Strickland.

The boys killed were Adrian Espada, 13, and Michael Jimenez, 12, both of Gordon Terrace. Several youths had been sitting on the steps of the corner building at Broadway and Buena about 7 :30 in the evening when a Yellow cab, hit by another car, crashed uncontrollably over the curb, onto the steps of the building, and into the doorway. Loose pillars fell from the building onto the already injured children, killing two. The hearts of the community united to set up a fund to assist the children's families , most of whom are on welfare and cannot affort the heavy expenses resulting from the accident. These are not the first children who have been the victims of fast moving cars on Broadway and Buena. In fact the entire community is outraged with the politicians and city agencies who have consistently refused the pleadings and demands of hundreds of parents for safe recreational playgrounds in this area. Public meetings, petitions, trips downtown and to the Alderman's office have all fallen on deaf ears or met with endless delays as large real estate interests and the downtown city planners have blocked the development of an acceptable safe play area for the youth. The safety of our children is the most important goal this community must work for . See article page 3 �Another Fire in Kenmore-Leland Area Jimenez calls for investigation The fires in our community are becoming more frequent leaving more families in danger for their lives, without their belongings, and without a stable place to live. Fire destroys building at 4645 N. Kenmore. One recent fire was on October 29, at 1: 20 a .m. in the 15 unit building at 4645 N. Kenmore. The flames shot thirty feet into the air as the building was evacuated . At the time of the fire only 8 units were occupied . Neighborhood residents informed Campaign workers that the entire third floor had been vacated, except one unit, supposedly to remodel it; but work was never started. The fire started on the third floor . On Sunday, November 3rd, the building burned a second time. Sheridan 'l'.' Shooting Raises Questions On Wednesday , October 23, between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m., William " Jugo" Rodriguez, 19, was critically shot by a plainclothes policeman just outside the Sheridan "L" station. Community people insist it was arson. They have seen this pattern before and have heard some people were offered money to set fire to the building. William Rodriguez is a young man from the area of Wilton and Grace. His understanding of English is minimal, and he could not understand police orders . According to reports given to laywers, the police came to the " L" station on a call to check a fight outside the station ; without a warning or identification, officers began shooting, wounding William immediately . They shot directly into the "L" station, through the glass, at rush hour-a grave potential danger to CT A passengers. In addition to the gun shot wound, William was dragged into the station and severely beaten, especially around the head. Mayor Daley's Urban Renewal programs have made it profitable for big landlords to burn their own buildings, collect insurance, and then sell the land to a large real estate developer. The landlord profits from the insurance money and the sale of the land. The real estate developers profit because they will build apartments where rents will be sky high. And the losers are the people who must move from bad buildings to worse buildings, from one unstable community to another unstable community. These changes in our communities happen without consideration for the people. In his call for support of the Community Zoning Board Ordinance now pending in the City Council, Mr. Jimenez states that to "end slums people must be allowed to plan their own communities." He . calls for stable communities with stable institutions and a community free of the deliberate arson that endangers the lives of our families. Mr. Jimenez has asked for a full-scale investigation into landlord arson in the Lakeview-Uptown area. The Campaign Legal Team has begun to move to make sure that justice is done in the case of William Rodriguez. Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez has emphasized that "crime can be controlled when police-community relations improve; the community needs policemen that respect us and that we can respect." 2000 Attend Unity Rally Nearly 2,000 people attended a UNITY RALLY Oct. 5th at the Palacio Theatre, 4040 N. Sheridan, to support a Community Zoning Board ordinance now before the City Council which would put decisions about what type of buildings are put in our area in the hands of community residents . The spirited crowd also pledged full support of the United Farm Workers Union boycott of head lettuce, grapes and Gallo wines. Speakers were Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez, Marcos Munoz, Ald. Dick Simpson, former Ald. Sammy Rayner, and Slim Coleman . After the rally they led an enthusiastic march that stretched for blocks to the National Supermarket demanding that they take the grapes and lettuce off their shelves. Congratulations to the hundreds of community people who worked many long, hard hours to build this successful demonstration of unity in our community . -2- �Le Moyne Parents Organize Successful Boycott As a result of the threatened cut back of 200 public school teachers and special programs around the city, many concerned parent groups and community organizations began to organize against this action of the Chicago Board of Education . The successful boycott forced the School Board to set up a meeting with parent representatives, which took place on Monday, November 4, 1974. During the picketing of Le Moyne School, Jose Cha-Cha Jimenez participated, giving full support to the parents. While parents picketed the School, many of their children attended the Young Lords' Emergency Alternative School set up in their own office at the request of the parents and staffed by certified teachers now working on the Campaign. Le Moyne Elementary School, 851 W. Waveland, was one of the schools most affected: four people on their staff were relieved of their duties. The Parent Council of Le Moyne wanted the Assistant Principal, one teacher, a teacher's aide, and a janitor to be reinstated. The Parent Group asked for a meeting with Superintendent Redmond on Wednesday, October 9, but were met by one of his assistants who failed to satisfy the parents with his answers. The community wants the four people back in Le Moyne School permanently. Education should be a priority in our community. The struggle of the parents of Le Moyne is to maintain and bring the necessary resources to our schools, and most definitely not to allow any of the too few existing resources to be lost to our children. In a meeting attended by 300, the parents agreed to boycott classes until a positive response came from downtown. The boycott was set for October 14 and continued to the end of the week . The first day of the boycott 75 of the 1,200 students attended regular school. Slumlord Brutality on Sunnyside and Magnolia Complaints were voiced to Campaign workers and legal charges were filed against William Strickland, owner of the building on 1251 W. Sunnyside, accusing him of "assault with intent to do bodily harm." The victim of this assault was 11 year old Freddie Stone Jr. who lives in the Sunnyside building with his family and who suffered arm and back injuries. him out of the bedroom . Donna also observed a gun under the arm of Strickland, who then proceeded to threaten to shoot Freddy's father if he saw him on the street. Freddy Jr. was taken to a hospital after he began getting sharp pains in his lower back and was unable to stand up straight and walk freely. Weiss Hospital prescribed pain pills, massages, and bed rest but there was no improvement in Freddy's condition. He was then taken to Columbus Hospital where-he was admitted and remained until the next Friday. A warrant was issued for the arrest of William Strickland. In addition, Cha-Cha Jimenez has asked the Campaign Legal Team to contact the Special Prosecutor of the State Attorney's office to investigate this case of big landlord brutality. The incident occured on Sunday, October 20, between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m., while Freddie Stone Sr. moved his belongings to 4438 N. Racine. Donna, Freddie Jr.'s sister, witnessed the aggressive entrance into the apartment by four men: Strickland, Harold Riffe, Strickland's son, and another man. She saw how William Strickland twisted little Freddy's arm clear behind his back while pushing t t t t t t t The purpose of this newsletter is to help inform the community of events and issues that affect us all.

The huge profits reaped by private developers -- aided by corrupt politicians -have caused nothing but ·misery to Latinos and other poor people. I myself have been a victim of this abuse. Before I finished the .8th .Grade, I was moved over 9 times by these· developers and forced to attend four · different elE!mentary schools, making it difficult to receive any adequate education. Each time I was forced to live in unstable colllllunities filled with drugs. gangs, prostitution and .other crimes. Fortunately I have survived 1n spite of these conditions. However, today I worry for my son and the sons and daughters of Latinos and other poor people. Will they have to grow up in these same wretched conditions? The City Council must assume respons1bil 1ty for these conditions. because that 1s where . responsibfli1~ lies. The city nust abandon its master plan to systematically and callou~ly remove Lat1nc,s and other poor from the· inner-city and other desirable areas of Chicago. If this city is in fact concerned with ridding itself of slums,· ft should then develop massive high quality 1 low-income housing and provide for jobs in the inner city. The answer to eliminating slums is not to relocate them but to provide decent jobs, a decent standard of living and stable neighborhoods. In the late sixties we marched, picketed and demonstrated for these goals. However, . none of the corrupt politicians wanted to listen. As a result we were pushed out a~tafn and have ended up here in the 46th Ward.

For the last 9 months I have been speaking with Latinos, nlacks, tlative Americans, southern white, Asian Americans and Jewish people; I have known many of these people from the struggles on Clark Street and in the Lincoln Park community. We have concluded that we must dev~lop a different approach and continue the struggle. Ho longer must we beg in protest to a deaf aldennan who ignores our concerns. Council. It i's time that we have our own representatives in the City It is time especially for Latinos, who are represented ne1ther in the city nor the state gove"'nmen·c, to take political power. For these reasons we have put together a. coalition of concerned people who J.ra capable of defeating the Daley machine in the 46th Ward. And today I ar.i announcing that I will be a candidate for Alderman in the 46th Ward. Our people deserve a victory and we are supremely confident that this campaign will give them one.

April 10, 1974 Cha-Cha Jimenez and Slim Coleman went with a letter to the Alderman to ask for a rermit for this event. 'They also as ked if we needed oetitions or letters, the Alderman sa ·id 11 :10. 11 The Alderman had Cha-Cha and Slim \•Jait and then chancied the subject to the ;ffA. He finally said that "The.v should 1\lri te up the puroose so he could go to the City Council to pass ; t and it could then be sent to the i3ureau of Streets and Sanitation." Cha-C:1a and Sl1m responded that the purnose i·.ras a block party and it t·Jas already stated as such in the letter. The Alderman said, "It v1asn't enough." So Cila-Cha and Slim explained in depth that it was a memorial for Manuel Ramos and Pancho Lind and also to observe the deaths of other poor peoole. ~!e :·:ould ::ie talking about the urban removal of Latinos and other poor people, the police harassmPnt anri drua situation on Wilton and Grace. Cha-Cha and Slim said t hey had already exoiained the purrose and they had understood that the Alderman and not the 3ureau of Sanitation was responsible for giving the permit. The Alderman then qave them back the letter and said he "didn't t,1ant it. 11 out as they \'Ia l ked out the door they gave the 1etter to his secretary . · 2. April 15, 1974 Cha-Cha and Slim went to the Alderman's office for a mee inq on another subject. They sooke to the ~Jard Committeeillan, /\xelrod. He said, "T · ~ Alderman reacted a little bit that ni91tt and not to ~1orry. The permit is going through and go ahead v1ith the event." That is when we started putting out extensive advertisement, contacted the bands, began making literally thousands of ohone calls to groups and individuals. ~e also be0an collecting netitions for the support of the event. He invited clerqy to give invocations for ,1anuel and Pancho, and arranged speakers representing various community grou~s. 3. April 17, 1974 Cha·-Cha and Slim wanted to ma ke sure that we would get the permit, so they went to the Upto1m States Attorney's office and snake to Francis Baumqart and asked him to please call the Alderman to hel p us ~et the permit. The Alderman told him "It's ur to the Alderman - not the States Attorney - to issue oermits and maybe he trmuld or maybe he \·1ouldn't. 11 4. ,l\pril 18, 1974 At a community meeting at St. 1•1 ary's of the Lake Church, they spoke to the Alderman again. He changed the subject by saying that vie had been disagreeing with him over the college site. tJhen we took the position that we didn't 1t1ant any more low- income housing :orndm·m and vie ,,mnted t he families that had been moved out to be relocated. He then said '\,e shouldn't do t hat" and walked away without giving us an answer. That same ni ght we also sooke to Sot. Bullerman, public relations for the 19th police district, informed him of the oroblems we \•Jere havinCl with the oermit, and said that ~,e wanted a meeting with Commander Hanley. �5. Aoril 19, 1974 Cha-Cha and Slim 1-.Jent to Sgt. Bullerman's office. He said "he felt the oolice vJere beinq used and he didn't li ke it." He said that we could go on with the event \•Ji thout the permit, but if he got II an anonymous phone call informinq hirn vie didn't have a permit he 1;1ould have to come and arrest everyone at the bloc!: party. 11 He told Cha-Cha and Slim to ~o back and mal~e an a9enda for a meeting tlith Commander Hanley. \le rilade an aqenda and brought it back. He said he vJOuld call us back for an armointrient, 1:1fiicl1 tie did. In the meantime, G. Abril 2( , 1974 an article came out in the Lerner Booster annouccing the block party. Also, in the ~eantime, 7. Aoril 24, 1974 Cha-Cha and Slir.i went back to see the Alderman, This time in front of a colleqe student, t<Jho uas doinq an intervie\-J 1:1ith him about how he conducts his office vJOrk, he told them, "he didn't see any reason ~,,hy \·Je couldn't get the permit for the block party. 11 ile said many oeople told him thev didn't want the block party, but he 1t1as sure that v1e knew manv neople t'llto 1·1a11tcd it, but we had to shm\l him something. !~e asked him again 1:1hat he \<Janted. Did he want retitions? He said "Yes, that would be a good idea." \'Je told him vie would bring him back netitions that niciht. That night when vie came back v1ith the netitions, his secret ary accidently brou<;ht out the fact that the Alderman had already sent out a letter askinq for the permit. (She said "It says 2 to 10 Pi1 on the netition but on the letter I sent out I ~vrote 2 to 9 Pf1. 11 ) The Alderman then nudged her \•J ith his elbm\l letting her kn01,1 to be s i 1ent. We came to the conclusion that he just wanted names to find out who would ootentially oppose him in the future. It would seem that the Alderman tJOuld use his nolitical office for his own personal gains. \;Je cannot understand why the Alderman v1ould go to such lengths to prevent a social event snonsored by Latinos and for Latinos and other poor of this vJard. :·Je did not inform you of this sooner because 'v-Je did not \Jant to fall into the tran the Alderman wanted us to. - To scare people away from this block party.

GRACE PRESS CONTACT: . SLIM COLEt1A1' 275-4778 The Sunday, March 31st edition of the Chicago Tribune quotes me as saying, 11 The big dE~alers are making money but not members of the Youn_g Lords, \<iho are selling one or two grams to someone who comes in from the suburbs. 11 It states further that 1 - Cha Cha Jimenez• described heroin traffic as a sort of "local industry," and that "the police should ignore the pushers." This is more than just an isolated misquotation. The Chigao Tribune has a history of fabricating racist lies against Latinos, Blacks, Native Americans and other poor of this ci~y. The Young Lords Organization has been consistently addressing itself to the problem of drug abuse. In order to effectively deal with the drug problem we moved our headquarters near a 11 drug corner. 11 We• ve met with the Illinois Drug Abuse programs to establish a drug center in the area. We've also met with cormiunity organizations and individuals to insure community participation in solving our own problems. We've spent long hours working with many of the . ' youths themselves and have made substantial progress. We've met with Command- er Rae and Chief Riordan to clarify the problem and explain to them the cor:munity's approach to solving it. Together with a broad representation of the comnunity we have asked that a patrol car be stationed at the corner on a 24 hour bas 1s. Wilton and Grace is not only a drug corner, it is a target area for Latinos who have already been forced from their homes - a .number of times to be r,ushed out again by Urban Renewal. Because of insensitive Police �harassment. carpet-bagging real estate dealers and outside drug dealers, some families have already been pushed out. In dealing with the drug problem the stabilization of the community is the most important factor. Therefore we've also organized a tenants union and are working with concerned landlords to stabilize and upgrade the co11111unity. The Chicago Tribune honors us for all this with a continuation of their abusive 1ies against our people. We cannot forget that the Ttibune, working hand in hand with Hanrahan, set the climate of repression that resulted in many vicious assaults on the oppressed corr111unity and finally the brutal murder of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. The Young Lords Organization with the aide of several law firms is filing a suit in court against the Chicago Tribune for its slanderous lies. We feel that no oppressed person, especially a Latino, should be caught dead buying the Tribune. :iOTE: THE YOUNG LORDS ORGANIZATION IS CALLI;~G FOR A COMMUNITY DEMQ;1STRATl0il AGAINST DRUG ABUSE, WILTON Arm GRACE.

Gladys Mercado's h.ome ., 93~ w. Grace, has been raided three times within a six week peri od b v t he Chicago Police Department.

She is eight months pregnant, has been t a ken to eme r qe r q• rooms of two different hospitals immediately following each r a id, ha s ha f! he:r. ba ck inju red when police pushed in her door, and has been told by her obste - t:r :i. c ian that anymore excitement would cause her to lose her child. She has placed a formal complai r.t wi th the Internal Affairs Di vision of the Police Department but later becau.se. of f ear of more harrasstr.ent she decided to withdraw the complaint.

Tr·.;n1sportation Authority Act, The Young L,n ·,-ls (..h·g .• n i7.a"tion has <leri de<l to take a position on RTA, We are an organization that has always 0 cted in ·the interest of Latinos and other poor and oppr·E>ssed peo!Jle, From our beginning in 1969 till the present, we have been dealing with the issue of llr•ban Renewal--a nice name fer the inner-city removal of Latinos and other poor and oppressed people. We set up a free day care center, a health clinic, a free food progr·am, a clething program, a breakfast for children program, and aided in setting up a people's law office--t• help the community survive while we organized to fight for low inceme but quality hous .i ug. We knew that Urean Renewal was planned in the interest of the rich rRther than the poor; that rather than change slums it transplanted them and helped to develop bigger slums. Since 1956 "La Clark" and "La Madison"--two large Latino areas--were transported to other areas of the city. Lincoln Park and "La Division" became the new homes for Latinos. Urban Renewal did not provide any jobs or any better educational system; health care did not improve; police were worse than ever; and most important of all, no low-inf'!ome housing was built. Instead, the University of Illinois (Circle Campus) and the Carl Sandburg Village were constructed. Afterwards in Lincoln Park, the Department of Urban Renewal wanted to make it a mo'del for other Urban Renewal areas. Latinos and poor people were moved out. They said, "We want to improve the area; it's near downtown, near the park and beach; it's easily accessible to downtown via Lake Shore Drive and bus route s; and it pr·ov ldes good housing for people who work in the loop." How many housing units were buj_Jt for the poor in Lincoln Park? About six. Now Latinos and other poor have been pushed into Lakeview and Uptown. One would think that this is enough pushing around of people who have been pushed out five or six times. However, the"Chicago 21 Plan", the "Lakefront Plan' , the "Downtown Plan", the ''Chinatown Plan", the Urban Renewal plans for the Pilsen area, and for the Wes town area , are all des.i gned to move po01· peop.1 e, especially Latinos, out of these areas. Mayor Daley wants the inner city for those with the money and not for the poor, Urban Renewal is desigued to make the lakefront and downtown areas acceptable to suh,n·l>:rni 1.<>s /llun RTA wj J l tr·c1nspu-t· L t-lie sub,u·Lan i.-tes into these areas. - . · �But what exactly is the RTA? RTA is basically a mass transportation system that will link the suburbs with the inner city. According to the RTA proponents, it will: 1. 2. 3. 4, 5. 6, 7. 8. 9, 10. Provide better access to jobs, schools, shopping and business centers. Reduce traffic congestion. Conserve energy and preserve the land. Maintain full employment. Coordinate services, stabilize fares, improve transfers. Stimulate business. Keep property values high, Provide mini-busses stopping close to people's homes, Provide more off-hour service, Provide for an appointed nine-man board that will be representative of the entire metropolitan region. We in the Young Lords Organization feel that these so-called benefits are not in the interest of Lr1't i nos and other poor and oppressed people, The fo 11 c,wj ug are I he .1.·~risou~ wliy: 1. 171 million dollars is the projected annual budget, of which 80 million is being provided by sales taxes in the six-county area, 16 million from a new 5% increase in motor fuel tax, 10 million from parking fees and 5 million is a contribution from the City of Chicago. And because 48% of the people in this six-county area live in Chicag~, these same people will be forced to take the overall burden of being heavily taxed for the financing of the RTA, a transportation system designed to benefit suburbanites. 2. Only the residents of the City of Chicago are being taxed from their State motor vehicle license fee, with no provision for taxing the rest of the six-county area. 3. The majority of Chicago residents at this time are Blacks and Latinos. No information is being provided in Spanish for Latinos, no public hearings and no provisions for Latinos and other poor people on the nine-man board. 4. Four of Daley. heading in this 5. We know that present problems in the CTA are not due to lack of funds, but rather to mismanagement by individuals who have been placed there because of their "fondness and dedication to the mayor," 6. We know also that it is the banks, railroads and bondholders who primarily benefit from the RTA. 7. Black, Latin and other poor and oppressed people have not been assured jobs in the suburbs; not even the RTA has assured them jobs. 8. Nothing has been spelJed riders. the nine directors on the board will be hand-picked by Just by the example of no Latinos on the City Council or any of the city departments or in any position of power city, we know how the nine-man board will look. 0irt i_n t"P:t'm!'l o.f belte1.• servjce for RTA �9. The RTA will have the power of Eminent Domain--the right to seize anyone's property, whether or not that person wants to sell it. 10. There's a "no-strike clause" for working people employed by the RTA. 11. The RTA does not improve inner city transportation; only suburban. 12. RTA will not end racism that already exists within the present CTA bureaucracy. (Remember the protests in the Pilsen area whe~e Latinos literally sat down in front of busses to secure a few jobs.) 13. Fares for using RTA have not been mentioned in Senate Bill 27. 14. RTA will set up its own Police Department, with no mention in the Act about investigations of complaints from citizens. They will also be independent of any of the county or local governments. 15. RTA will aid the Department of Urban Renewal to make Chicago's downtown area a shopping center not for Chicago residents, but rather for suburbanites, by providing express trains to downtown Chicago. 16, It also aids Urban Renewal to push industry into the suburbs rather than locate it in the inner city, with the excuse that now there is transportatjon. 17. It also aids the Chicago Housing Authority (made up of Daley appointees) to push for and construct low income housi~g in : ~e suburbs rather than in the inner city. RTA is a plan that has been part of Urban Renewal since it started think i ng in terms of metropolitan rather than city areas. In other words, RTA plus Urban Renewal equals inner city removal of Latino~ and other poor and oppressed people. The Young Lords Organization would never support a program that works abains t the people. We want mass transportation, but only when it benefits the people, and not banking interests, slick-talking racists politicians, and a few individual capitalists. We therefore ask that you vote NO and defeat RTA.
