communities of Lakeview, Roscoe Village, North Center and Lincoln Square  \nJuly, 2021 “We don’t make the news, we just report it.” Volume 25, Number 8  \nNoone is in custody  \nNo one is in custody  \nAn all too familiar phrase in the city of Chicago.  \nIn Chicago, 956 people were shot in the first four months of 2021 – 217 more than the same point in 2020, which was a record-setting year for shootings. Compared to 2020, homicides are up with 185 people killed – 27 more than this point last year. In 2020, the total number of carjackings in Chicago were more than the previous two years combined.  \nMass shootings in this country has prompted President Biden to call on lawmakers to pass two House bills dealing with gun access. One would implement a ban on assault weapons, and the other would close background check loopholes. President Biden also signed executive orders to stop the sale of “ghost guns,” place new regulations on pistol-stabilizing braces, charge federal agencies with conducting studies on gun trafficking and invest in community violence intervention programs. The plan would crack down on gun sellers who violate federal laws with a new zero-tolerance policy,  \nwhich would mean stiffer penalties for retailers.  \nHours after President Biden announced his plan to address crime, Chicago had two late night mass shootingsat the same time. Four people were shot in the Austin neighborhood on Hubbard Street and at the same time, four people with a motorcycle club were shot in Englewood in the 7000 block of South Vincennes Avenue. Police said shots were fired from a vehicle. No one is in custody from either case.  \nOn the same day, during a press conference, Lightfoot claimed a reduction in murders in 2021 (up 5% over last year and up 29% over 2019) . That same day, seven people were killed and nine others injured, including a 4-year old boy. Chicago’s crime is trending up and will soon become the city’s deadliest year in more than a decade. Alderman Raymond Lopez, 15th Ward, whose constituents are 67% Latino and 22% Black, says gang life, not racism, is responsible for Chicago’s violence. In an interview  \nContinued on page 2  \nMayor declares“racism a public health crisis”  \nThe Mayor officially declared “racism” a“public health crisis,”confirming her administration will divert $10 million from COVID relief funds to address the issues.  \nMayor Lightfoot delivered her remarks in the West Side’s Lawndale community, in the shadow of the apartment where Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. lived most of 1966. However, he was assassinated in 1968, setting off riots across the nation including the West Side destroying that very apartment building where he stayed. Continuing her remarks, she said “At almost every single point in our city’s history, racism has taken a devastating toll on the health and well-being of our  \nresidents of color – especially those who are Black. “Without formally acknowledging this detrimental impact, we will never be able to move forward as a city and fully provide our communities with theresources they need to live happy and healthy lives.”  \n“The insidious nature of systemic racism has other impacts that are every bit as deep and harmful but often ones that we can’t see, like the impacts on the psyche and other impactson our bodies that are just as, if not more, deadly.”  \nWhat is systemic racism? It’s a form of racism embedded through laws and regulations within a society or an organization. While individual racism is often  \nmore identifiable due to its overt nature, institutional racism is less perceptible because of its less overt, far more subtle nature. Institutional racism is where race causes a different level of access to the goods, services, and opportunities of society.
