Edith Spurlock Sampson became the first Black woman to be sworn in as a judge by election in the state of Illinois in the U.S. on this day in 1962. She assumed the role of associate judge for the Chicago Municipal Court for four years!

OST programs like @OneCommonUnity are helping youth process the trauma of the past year.
“We must deeply invest in creating safe, brave spaces for our young people to come together in community and offer healing modalities for the trauma they have suffered.”

Tyler Grigsby of @OneCommonUnity says the need is funding for that flexibility to provide options for in person and virtual #OST programs. Some participants don't have access to in-person programming for health or caregiving reasons, but that requires more funding. @charlesallen

We just heard from Timon, an 11th grader at Eastern Senior High School who is part of One Common Unity’s Youth Organizing Troupe:
“I want my teachers to be well paid, and I want opportunities to serve my community and earn hours towards my graduation.” #OSTWorks
