Care in Every Building Meeting

For decades, senior services in the City of Chicago have been cut. The Covid-19 pandemic further exposed the lack of care services for seniors. JASC is in a pivotal moment to fight to fund care services for seniors in Chicago and beyond. Join us in this research phase to develop this campaign to expand comprehensive care services!

Senior Care Alliance Meeting

It is a critical time to build the new care infrastructure that seniors deserve! The Jane Addams Senior Care Collective has been working on various levels to ensure that seniors receive the support they need to stay in their communities and also that caregivers and homemakers receive living wages. We believe that seniors should have a choice to stay in their homes and not be forced into an institution.

Last year, we pushed hard in support of the Build Back Better agenda which includes funding for home and community based services on the national level that has the potential to drastically improve the care landscape for people who need care and caregivers!Join us in this new year to start the process to narrow our campaign.

Marsha Cole Virtual Memorial

Last week, the Jane Addams Senior Caucus community lost an important member of our community: Marsha Cole. On Sunday December 19th, 2021 we will gather as a community to honor Marsha's legacy and be together as a community. 

Register here to attend.

Here's more about Marsha Cole from one of her friends and fellow JASC members, Lillie Young:

We at the Jane Addams Senior Caucus and Jane Addams Seniors in Action have lost a good friend, colleague and ally on December 8, 2021 when she slipped away from us after a long and painful battle against covid19 and pneumonia. The locomotive of death outran us - we could not stop it though we prayed for a miracle.

May you rest in peace Marsha. As you continue your journey, we will continue the fight for justice and equality for everyone.
