Happenings in the Hemingway District Oak Park
Honored to stand with Sarah’s Inn. 💜

The Hemingway District was deeply proud to share its voice!

The Sarah's Inn Domestic Violence Action Month Rally message was powerful and clear at the Oak Park Public Library

This year's focus on "Under the Radar: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence" brought crucial attention to technology-facilitated abuse—from location sharing to smart-home devices.

A huge thank you to Sarah's Inn for their life-saving work, and a special shout-out to Hoja Santa for opening their doors and hosting the community gathering afterward.

We are stronger when we stand together.

Update: Saturday's (7/18) Running with the Bulls event is canceled. After consulting with the Oak Park Public Health Department, we've made the tough call to cancel tomorrow's event. Young children are especially sensitive to poor air quality, and keeping kids safe and healthy is always our first priority.

We know smoky days like these can be hard on families and everyone caring for little ones, so here are a few ways to keep bodies and brains moving and engaged, even when it's best to stay indoors:
🏃 Check out this short training on indoor movement from Oak Park physical therapist Meg Bracco Liebreich. She made it back in the winter of 2020 (we can barely conjure memories of cold weather right now, can you?!), but many of her ideas work just as well on a smoky summer day (Banish Cabin Fever: Gross Motor Games and Activities for Indoor Play (https://vimeo.com/494903211?turnstile=1.qErDUoqLiKkJ35KrijAhbwDrfL8QEd8gyysBHfB5aToQvSIXv60Btx_7NST9eNltKwIq2wlEbWCK4DEqi_JIeThYLASHt0gVPFAx9ISFobBMA0uqREcvW2XVz__co-slVQnEajAbgl554Sf02sDLOqjd_OCePV8iIkXrUxFF2rWJ3v3Gz8AaOULDpqaCX8FzUVZiw0NTMKhA4fAiNBhOFuJr-XKEFLw6A6QCSvnW9T8IXsTl46tyqMDYOsszmik4GNEQIMQowumZwB-p5-8IfJUNdrWWawII8i7KifvVaeN80iMUyFkGhSTNc0P7DLQNMri4lxM2VapGT_O15TaetkFwQThndSOGu63_gyD7_krWoymwcWGHnQIUxhnNZJ2lH_sMrWNAch2H5tO6TWiCFgIGrL1U-W3nKLLOeDb-bFJXMg46qwVdhYaoI8Ra7I-GDJ1-4i4OfLS4Vs3LurzBx5JI758Gldv-CjZlVFXP9d4wRAw2x3Qd3ykI1TVSCvIBXmGgZ5x_vrI62wg7mfwS7-GRJkOyHe0QDREHQnsYdyp0Yb9wwKDmyyok_PSsQe3RJZT30aSg81YjC3eKiTPZ9SZo0oI7b7KKAq1xzup8wr1WUepI_OnMCEi-2i89TuqS.YWSTCkcDXFntTi59Tpo7KA.73f36a8c2a14e3f1d40d1f382218b4bb7611f7d7cca740bcc07bad4dc360a41c))
🎵 Stop by our office at 171 S. Oak Park Ave. to pick up a music activity bag, while supplies last! We'll be here Friday, July 17, until 3pm, and Saturday, July 18, 10am-12pm.
📚 The Oak Park Public Library has story times at the main branch at 10am (kids 0-5) and 11am (kids 0-2) on Saturday, July 18.

Thanks for understanding, and we hope to see you at a future event soon. Stay safe!
