A message from Kira

Jane Addams Senior Caucus Housing Organizer

Hi JASC - I wanted to share some news! It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my departure from Jane Addams Senior Caucus on August 31st. It was a difficult decision to make. JASC has provided me with so many opportunities for growth over the past two years and I owe it to you, the amazing members, who have pushed me to think critically about power, community, and a fierce vision for seniors across Chicago.

Whether it was my first tenant association meeting at Collins, the passage of the Senior Safety Ordinance, or more recently, watching the vision for a National Tenant Bill of Rights unfold at our All Member Meeting, JASC has reminded me that the power lies with the people. You, the members of the Senior Caucus, are what allows this organization to be what it is.

I am not leaving Chicago, nor am I leaving organizing. While I am uncertain about my next steps, I will CERTAINLY continue to pursue the fight for justice alongside you all.

Thank you once again for such an amazing two years. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

With love and solidarity,

Kira
