I love credit unions because they partner to expand financial inclusion and build stronger communities. Below is an example of how 6 Illinois credit unions are partnering with the Illinois Credit Union League, Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and SBA to empower small businesses and develop communities. #Ilovemycreditunion #Illinoiscreditunionleague

Steve Cortes: "I was born in Chicago Heights and raised a family in the city of Chicago for 25 years. I bleed the blue and orange of the Bears. So, I take no pleasure in detailing the miserable failures of the Windy City. But…it’s necessary. Why? "Because Chicago is the reality that the Democrats want for the rest of America. In that regard, it is fitting and proper that they host their convention there. Here are the five most important failures of Chicago that bear relevance for all Americans: 1. Crime . . . 2. Population Loss . . . 3. Quality of Life . . . 4. Economic Privation . . . 5.

All families face complexities when it comes to succession planning and navigating the roller coaster of emotions tied to legacy. It's a deeply personal process that can stir up feelings of uncertainty, vulnerabilty, and even conflict. Even the wealthiest among us aren't immune, as the current billion-dollar dispute over Rupert Murdoch's empire shows. The decision to shift control of an irrevocable trust from his four children to Lachlan raises big questions about the limits of planning and the potential fallout when family dynamics collide with business interests. Check out this unfolding saga: [insert link]. It makes me think of those we aim to support through Estateably. How do you ensure that important decisions—ones that impact both assets and relationships—are made with careful consideration? It’s something I always consider as we build tools to help legal professionals navigate these complex issues effectively and help their clients make informed choices. https://hubs.li/Q02T9J-M0 #Trusts #EstatePlanning #RupertMurdoch #familywealth #Probate #leadership

Just read an article that really hit hard. Governor Parson recently rescinded a bunch of old executive orders, and buried in there was one that set purchasing goals for state agencies to work with minority- and women-owned businesses. To see this policy quietly removed is beyond disappointing—it’s a step backward for so many hard-working business owners in our state who just want a fair shot. As someone who represents minority communities and advocates for small business owners and workers, it’s frustrating to watch years of progress be brushed aside like this. These goals weren’t just about numbers; they were about creating real opportunities for folks who’ve historically been left out of the game. It sends a message that those contributions, those dreams, aren’t a priority. Missouri should be doing better than this. We need an economy where everyone—regardless of background—has a fair chance to grow and succeed. I’ll keep pushing for policies that lift up all our communities, but it’s clear we’ve got a lot of work to do.

Do you know what was there sixty years ago? Do you know someone who has lived in the same county their entire life? Someone who lived a good life, a full life, and in the same place? It's amazing the fruit that can emerge with one is rooted in that way. My grandfather was one of those individuals. With the exception of his stint in the Navy, he stayed rather close to Durham, NC. Rare would a family gathering occur that didn't include his correction of the best/fastest way to get some place or what was located where decades prior. I just had a conversation with a local individual here in Alabama that mirrored those. "You wouldn't believe how many folks think Smith Street is actually in Elmore County." Such seeming banal knowledge, while simple, is a fruit of being rooted in a community and is often an indicator that the person has deep knowledge not just of individuals, but of families, of the place, of the community. Being rooted is no longer the norm: it's counter cultural. In part, the nature of our 21st century service-based economy requires it. But the emphasis on self, the embrace of what's new, and the rejection of what has been the norm, is a larger cause. I won't be able to be one of those folks that have lived in the same place for decades and decades. Many of us won't, but being rooted, bearing fruit should be a goal. Especially of small business owners, attorneys, and good neighbors. Be a rooted attorney. Bear fruit.

Our new report "Rewriting the Story: Lived experiences of New Yorkers receiving cash assistance" confronts the harsh realities of New Yorkers who face serious barriers to #economicmobility, and offers a variety of policy changes and people-centered, trauma-informed recommendations that can be implemented statewide.

BREAKING - Mayor of San Francisco fired, the new guy, Daniel Lurie, is also a Democrat but with a conservative-leaning stance on issues like crime and public safety. NOTE: San Francisco’s mayoral race ended with Mayor London Breed conceding to Daniel Lurie, a nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir who used his family fortune, including $9 million of his own money, to secure his win. NOTE: Despite all candidates being Democrats, Lurie distinguished himself with a conservative-leaning stance on issues like crime and public safety, appealing to voters frustrated by the city’s ongoing problems, including homelessness, drug use, and crime. NOTE: A report said his victory reflects a broader statewide shift among Democrats toward centrist or tough-on-crime policies, with other California cities similarly embracing more moderate or conservative positions, indicating a desire for practical solutions over ideological commitments.
