SUMMARY:Start In Your Yard
DESCRIPTION:Start In Your Yard is a local movement initiated by members of Wild Ones. We understand that we have become disconnected from the natural world — and our place in it — with disastrous consequences. Recognizing that we are part of a great web\, we are moved to become cooperative partners and share the land where we live. \nThe call to address climate change often recounts the need to capture carbon\, build and improve soil\, slow the loss of species\, create habitat\, use naturally renewable resources\, restore aquafers\, and filter pollutants. These are often regarded as complex\, industrial\, agricultural and commercial\, projects that might require governmental action and/or assistance. But… \nIn his books Bringing Nature Home and Nature’s Best Hope\, Doug Tallamy\, author\, entomologist\, and researcher\, suggests that in the past we homeowners have ignored the important ecological role our gardens could play in the landscape. Considering only appearance\, we have converted millions of acres of working plant communities into ecologically useless lawns. Now that we face the crises listed above\, we must reconsider how we use our land. \nDr. Tallamy proposes that we think differently about the land we live on. He teaches that what we plant changes the way we impact life around us; what we do makes a difference to other beings — plants\, animals\, insects\, birds\, microorganisms\, and us – because we are part of an interwoven system of life. We steward the land that needs to be a home to Life. \nTo begin\, we can replace some of the endless lawns with native grasses\, flowers\, trees\, and shrubs. We don’t need to wait for governmental action. As homeowners\, we are empowered. We can step outside today and begin making changes to provide respite for the biodiversity we are displacing. Perhaps this will tide them over while we\, as a species\, find our balance as part of Nature. \nWe’d like to expand upon these ideas and talk about what is taking place in the Elgin area. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q&A.\nLeague members are invited to register for this Zoom presentation.\nEveryone is invited to watch live on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Hard Facts and Human Faces: Navigating U.S. Immigration in Our Communities
DESCRIPTION:The League of Women Voters of Elgin Area\, in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County and the League of Women Voters Aurora Area\, invite residents of Kane County and the surrounding communities to a timely and informative presentation about U.S. immigration policy and the issues arising from an imperfect and overtaxed system. The program will be held at 7 pm on June 19th in person in the meeting room at the Geneva Public Library and live streamed on BATV. \nThe guest speaker for the program is Sara Dady. Ms. Dady is the principal at Dady Law Group LLC in Rockford and has been practicing family-based immigration law for over 17 years. She writes and presents frequently on immigration topics and advocates for comprehensive immigration reform. Ms. Dady will present on the complexities surrounding immigration in the U.S. – how our history has shaped our challenges\, our system of laws\, and our political environment. Ms. Dady will discuss the current situation and outline proposals for effectively responding with short-term relief and long-term resolution. \n“Our local League of Women Voters organizations are excited to host this important presentation\,” said Patti Lackman\, Co-Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County. “If we are going to solve the immigration crisis in our country and in our local communities\, we need to put politics aside and do the work of learning about the issue – including how we got ourselves into this mess\, and how we can work together to reform our immigration system while remaining true to our American ideals.” \nThe program is free and open to the public. The Geneva Public Library is located at 227 S. Seventh Street in Geneva\, Illinois. It will take place in the meeting room on June 19th from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. \nThe League of Women Voters will be accepting voluntary donations at the event for the following specific items: \n\n✅disposable diapers\,\n✅feminine pads (not tampons)\,\n✅bath tissue\, and\n✅facial tissue.\n\nDonations for these items are welcome and entirely voluntary. Following the event\, the League will pass along donated items to organizations\, such as World Relief\, who take pressure off our local communities by providing much-needed assistance to arriving families. \nAnyone wishing to find out more about this program may obtain more information by calling Patti Lackman at 630-336-0531 or emailing info@lwvckc.org. \n### \nThe League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government\, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues\, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
