Thank You | Amara Enyia Amara Enyia 2019-03-07 | From the bottom of my heart, thank you for joining me on this journey. None of this would have happened without you. Your donations, messages of support, house parties, shares on social media -- all of it helped us do something amazing. We launched a campaign for equity and justice not as mere platitudes, but as values that ground us. We mobilized thousands of people across the city. We exceeded expectations and shifted the entire election cycle toward our policies.Our work is just getting started. Justice is not an event, it's a process. Over the coming weeks, I will continue advocating for the policies we raised during our campaign. I will call on candidates to demonstrate specific commitments to those issues. Most importantly: we will organize -- not just for the run-off, but to make sure we hold the next mayor accountable.This was the start of a much larger fight. And I am so grateful to be with all of you in a fight for a vision that includes all of us. Your donation of $10 or $20 will help us keep the movement going.We continue forward: all people, all voices, one city.amaraenyia.com/donate

Amara Enyia speaks at the WGN Mayoral Forum (1 /10 / 19 ) Amara Enyia 2019-01-15 | Transcript: "...Preventative measures mean that children have to have options both in school and in training so that they can function in the economy. If we do not provide that infrastructure, which is the city’s responsibility, then we cannot wonder why young people are doing carjackings. We put a lot of money into investing in police infrastructure yet if our legislators and if our government actually addresses the public policy failings across the board from public health hazards, exposure to lead in the water and manganese in the soil, from lack of mental health services and behavioral health services both in schools and communities; if they did their job, they would make the job of police and easier. This is a question of investment, not a question of policing, and the city has to get it right."Donate @ www.amaraenyia.com/donate

Amara Mayoral Campaign Launch Amara Enyia 2018-08-29 | Visit: amaraenyia.comDonate: amaraenyia.com/donateVolunteer: amaraenyia.com/get-involvedAMARA is a problem-solver, advocate, lawyer, phd, ironman competitor, marathoner, daughter of activists, and defender of the public with a passion for public policy.Never one to settle for the status quo, Amara believes in thinking outside the box, challenging systems, and building new ones that reflect values that put the public interest first.Amara got her start as a journalist, desiring to capture the human experience through stories. In addition to degrees in journalism and political science, she earned a Masters degree in education, a law degree where she focused on international and environmental law, and a PhD in Education Policy. Amara has always sought to translate complex public policy to a form that is easily understood and used by the public to arm people with the information they need to make the best decisions for their lives. She consults with education organizations and community groups advocating on issues of education equity and works with groups to design community-centered education plans. She created “Thanks for Paying Your Taxes” – an animated series that simplifies public finance topics to help residents understand how their tax dollars are being used. She conducts annual in-depth budget analyses of the City of Chicago budgets and hosts town halls and workshops in communities across Chicago to help residents and community groups understand the numbers so they can advocate for their own interests.Amara founded the Institute for Cooperative Economics and Economic Innovation, a social lab whose primary purpose is to educate, assist, and advocate for the expansion of cooperative economic models and other innovative economic development concepts that would diversify Chicago’s economic eco-system such as worker-owned cooperatives, housing cooperatives, community land trusts, sharing economy platforms, and financial institutions and products that support these enterprises.Read More: amaraenyia.com/meet-amara
