SUMMARY:Summer of Extremes: Racism\, Health Inequity and Heat
DESCRIPTION:Journalists are invited to dissect lessons on racism and health inequity learned from Chicago’s 1995 heatwave replayed during the pandemic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event \n\nQ: What do Chicago’s 1995 heat wave and the COVID-19 pandemic have in common? \nA: The heat wave-death map and the COVID-19-death map are ALMOST IDENTICAL. \nIt takes extreme crises to push us to confront the systemic roots of racism. No doubt\, journalists are on the front lines\, translating data and drama into compelling reporting. \nIn 1995\, Chicago was hit by one of the deadliest heat waves in U.S. history\, disproportionately killing 739 poor and elderly\, mostly people of color. Now history repeats itself. The coronavirus pandemic is exposing the same deadly inequities. \nMarking the 25th anniversary of the devastating heat wave\, summer 2020 is predicted to be one of the hottest on record—and against the additional public health crisis of police brutality—one of the most revolutionary. \nHow will journalists reframe and report on this collision of crises? \n  \nSCHEDULE \nYour registration is good for one\, two or all of the three days. \nIf you have any questions you know you’d like panelists to address\, email the organizers at info.summerofextremes@gmail.com. \nDAY 1 – TUESDAY\, JUNE 23\, 2020 7-8:30 PM\, CST \n“It’s All The Same Map” \nChicago’s heat-death map from 1995 is almost identical to Chicago’s COVID-19-death map — both rooted in the economics and health inequities plaguing Chicago’s communities of color. Such structural inequities are also at the root of police brutality\, as seen recently in the killing of George Floyd. What is the role of the journalist in the deeper storytelling behind these crises? \nDAY 2 – WEDNESDAY\, JUNE 24\, 2020\, 7-8:30 PM\, CST \n“Mental Health & Reporting on Trauma” \nJournalists\, and journalists of color\, in particular\, can struggle to articulate their own trauma experienced while covering crises. Bodies piling up during the heat wave 25 years ago was such a story. Bodies piling up from COVID-19 in the U.S. since January has been such a story. Covering the killing of George Floyd\, the subsequent protests and fallout\, is also such a story. Let’s talk about it\, and the impact. \nDAY 3 – THURSDAY\, JUNE 25\, 2020\, 7-8:30 PM CST \n“The Now And The Future: Reimagining Health Equity & Heat Emergency Planning” \nAs heat and COVID-19 collide this summer with the public health crisis of police brutality — physical distancing still encouraged — how does the city plan to keep people safe? With issues of environment\, public space and equity of infrastructure involved\, we look at the role of anchor community groups in South Side and West Side neighborhoods as first-responders on health equity and human heat emergency plans.

SUMMARY:NABJ-Chicago Annual Meeting - “The George Floyd Conversation”
DESCRIPTION:NABJ-Chicago will dedicate its Annual Meeting on Wednesday\, June 17\, 2020\, to “The George Floyd Conversation” amongst its members. \nThe event\, to be held 6-8 PM\, via Zoom\, is the chapter’s first General Membership Meeting since going on hiatus in March\, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nNABJCC resumed business in May\, planning its first event\, a contribution to NABJ’s Black Male Media Project held annually nationwide on June 6\, just as the horrific killing of Floyd at the knee of a Minneapolis police officer and its turbulent aftermath unfolded. \nAmidst the protests against police brutality\, ensuing riots and renewed spotlight on racism — including bias at the nation’s media outlets — NABJCC’s Board of Directors decided to dedicate our Annual Meeting to “The George Floyd Conversation.” \nSet by our constitution to be held each May\, the Annual Meeting requires elections (2020 is not an election year)\, reports from the President\, Treasurer and committees\, and statement on dues (which remain the same). With gatherings still prohibited in May\, the meeting was postponed\, now being held via Zoom. \nAfter the business portion\, NABJCC plans a “family gathering” discussion of Floyd’s death and the impact\, hearing from as many members as time permits\, on perspectives and experiences from the turbulent past two weeks. \nUnder a partnership with the Robert R. McCormick Foundation\, with a dual goal of assisting a restaurant/bar sector struggling under closings due to coronavirus\, NABJCC members attending the conversation will receive a $25 gift card for take-out “comfort food” + drinks at three Chicago locations. That’s right. Get your meal. Sit back. Join the family. \nLimited to Current Dues-Paid Members.
