The inclusion rider is co-authored by Fanshen Cox, a producer and development executive, and Kalpana Kotagal, a civil rights and employment attorney. But after McDormand’s 2018 Oscar speech, it was the academics at the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, a think tank at the University of Southern California, who led the charge publicly advocating for the rider — perhaps ineffectively. Getting buy-in not only from industry professionals but also general audiences requires a spirit of openness. That wasn’t the case early on; not long after McDormand’s speech, a actor on Twitter asked if the Inclusionists could provide a list of Hollywood people who had committed to the inclusion rider, only to be brushed off. The Inclusionists later declined to be interviewed by the Tribune but did acknowledge, after some protracted back and forth, that they were not, in fact, keeping a database to track any of this.
Meanwhile, Illinois health officials Wednesday reported 1,795 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 26 additional deaths. That brings the state’s totals to 1,359,748 cases and 22,285 deaths.

“That’s been a theme with our losses,” Murphy says. “We seem to be a little bit fragile. Instead of picking each other up and a mistake on a goal or a shift where they’re on us, we don’t seem to be responding very well. That’s on us as a group, and even a leadership group, to be able to recognize things and get our game going in the right direction.”
Police said the 53-year-old man had been “consuming alcohol,” when he got into a dispute with his neighbor. During the argument, “the two men got into a physical altercation,” and the other man “fired a handgun,” the police statement said.
Morris, 38, owns a three-flat in the Douglas community area, where he lives on the second floor with his wife and two young children and rents out the two other units. The building offered enough space for his family, a chance to stay on the South Side, where both Morris and his wife grew up, and an investment opportunity.

And my wife and I enjoy a good road trip: the podcasts (“West Cork,” this time), the pit stops and the way the miles roll by like life, slowly in the moment and then, with the steady application of foot to gas pedal, suddenly they are in the rear view. We treat ourselves, inevitably, to cheddar cheese Combos, a food we eat only on road trips, just as Food Network is a channel we watch only in hotel rooms. We read many of the signs out loud to one another, even though it is a thing our kids make fun of us for doing.
East Woodlawn townhomes “are in the fives ($500,000) and the sixes, and the single families are in the sevens,” said Ware, a South Shore resident who runs Ware Realty Group. “Everybody can’t afford the sevens, so where do you go? You may want to go a little bit west and say, for this (cheaper amount) you may get (a larger space).”
