The Jerry Rescue occurred on October 1, 1851, and involved the public rescue of a fugitive slave who had been arrested the same day in Syracuse, New York, during the anti-slavery Liberty Party's state convention.

4 - Underground Railroad Pilgrimage - SE Iowa
Underground Railroad Pilgrimage - SE Iowa
October 4, 2024 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
You are invited on a journey of discovery aboard an Underground Railroad pilgrimage - a journey exploring sites and history of the Underground Railroad in SE Iowa and a journey within ourselves.
In the mid-1800s Iowa, a free state, experienced ramifications from systemic slavery practiced in the southern states, including Missouri. One ramification was enslaved people attempting to make their way to freedom some using routes through SE Iowa that lead to more northern cities and Canada. Networks of people dedicated to helping the freedom seekers formed, and some of these networks came to be called the “underground railroad”.
A pilgrimage is different than a tour.
“Pilgrimage is a spiritual exercise, an act of devotion to find a source of healing, or even to perform a penance. Always, it is a journey of risk and renewal. For a journey without challenge has no meaning; one without purpose has no soul.” — Phil Cousineau
This pilgrimage will explore circumstances and issues associated with the Underground Railroad and visit three actual sites on the “Network to Freedom”. Stories can help give a clearer picture of the practice of enslavement then; as well as now. While not an easy topic, one begins to appreciate the courage and commitment of the freedom seekers and abolitionists in Iowa’s early history.
We will enjoy the deepening conversations as we open ourselves to Spirit and to the stories.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
EVERY VOTE MATTERS!
Voting is YOUR RIGHT!
Not voting is giving up your voice.
Voting is an opportunity for CHANGE.
Your community depends on YOU.
BE THE CHANGE you want to see!
WHY? It is not ok for us to allow ourselves to be left out of the story. Voting is a right that has been hard fought for many - OUR people would be horrified to know that we had thrown it away. The adage, "Those who don't know their history are destined to repeat it," is playing out before our eyes.
WHO is this for? We are interested in capturing an audience of young voters, unregistered potential voters, and people of color. We realize that most of our regular audience is older, registered voters, but we all know someone who is unregistered or who thinks that their vote doesn't matter.
Our MODERATORS, Dr. Tamara Marcus, Anthony Arrington, and Betty Daniels will discuss why this time is different: every vote has never been more crucial.
You can shape the kind of world you want to live in.

Free Screening of “UnCharitable”
October 21, 2024 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Cedar Rapids Public Library
450 Fifth Ave SE
Cedar Rapids IA 52401
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation has partnered with the United Way of East Central Iowa to sponsor a free screening of the film UnCharitable at the Cedar Rapids Public Library on Monday, October 21, 2024. The screening is open to local nonprofits and community members, and serves as an official pre-conference event of the Iowa Nonprofit Alliance’s Iowa Nonprofit Summit, being held in Cedar Rapids on October 22. Other event partners include the Association of Fundraising Professionals-Eastern Iowa Chapter, Iowa Humane Alliance, and The Gazette.
About the Film
After three incredibly successful U.S. charitable campaigns were attacked by charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector.
Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary delivers an emotional journey that moves, persuades and inspires its audience to change the way we think about giving. UnCharitable explores the idea of freeing charities from outdated constraints to truly change the world. No topic is more crucial and timelier as we confront an increasingly unstable world with the growing revelation that we are all interconnected and that our fate lies in how much we are willing to invest in positive change.
