An important data effort to make more information available to community developers seeking to reactivate properties in communities that have been caught in the county's Tax Scavenger Sale system. Check it out!

Nonprofit advocacy orgs in IL: Thanks to Forefront for providing this upcoming training this Thursday on federal, state and local lobbying and ethics rules and what it means for your advocacy efforts.

A thoughtful exploration of how a permanent expansion of the monthly, fully refundable #ChildTaxCredit has benefits for kids (who btw, later become adults) beyond simply boosting income.

The #BuildBackBetter act has more than one tax credit our household would like to see as an investment in our collective future #ChildTaxCredit #EITC #renewableenergy Sam Ori

Let's bring greater #equity to the Illinois tax code. Tell the IL General Assembly that you support the #EarnedIncomeCredit to help families and workers make ends meet. BONUS: Every $1 in #EITC refunded, turns into $1.50-$2 in local economy activity.

“My plan would cut the cost of child care…it doesn’t stop there, it also includes home & long term care.” Care in the #StateOfTheUnion. This is historic. Thank you for caring, President Biden. #CareCantWait

Very happy to see Governor JB Pritzker come out in support of expanding the IL earned income credit to reach more folks and targeting relief to households that need it most!

The Earned Income Tax Credit is a proven anti-poverty solution that works, but right now not enough people living in Illinois are eligible. We must #ExpandEIC in this year's state budget. Take action & contact your legislator here: bit.ly/eicaction

Neither the problems we're seeing nor the calls for crackdowns are new. A small sampling of headlines on this subject over the 15 years I've lived in Chicago. Everyone deserves to feel safe in and enjoy in this city. Why pursue the same failed strategies to bring that about?

This right here....
