Mari yepenjeni yeChicago parizvino yaiswa muvagadziri vezvombo hombe. Asi kudyara kwenharaunda hakusi nani chete sarudzo dzezvematongerwo enyika, ivo vanoita mari yakawanda.
Muna 1968, Chicago yaive nzvimbo yakatarisana neUS kuramba Hondo yeVietnam. Zviuru zvevechiduku zvakaratidzira hondo paDemocratic Party Convention mudhorobha reChicago uye zvakaitirwa utsinye neNational Guard, mauto, uye mapurisa—zvakawanda zvacho zvakatepfenyurwa munyika yose paterevhizheni.
Iyi nhaka yekupokana nehondo, imperialism uye mapurisa erusarura muChicago inoenderera nanhasi. Mienzaniso yakawanda inoratidza pfungwa yacho. Semuenzaniso, varongi vari kushanda kuti vapedze zveguta $ 27 mvumo yemamiriyoni neShotSpotter, tekinoroji isina kunaka yakagadziridzwa kuti ishandiswe munzvimbo dzehondo kuona pfuti dzakaita basa rakakura kuurayiwa kweChipurisa cheChicago yaAdam Toledo ane makore 13 March apfuura. Varongi venzvimbo vakatarisawo kupedzisa chirongwa chePentagon's "1033" chemauto akawandisa, icho chakawedzera. $ Miriyoni 4.7 kukosha kwemahara ehondo giya (senge mine-inodzivirira MRAP mota dzehondo, M16s, M17s, uye bayonets) kune Illinois ekuchengetedza mutemo masangano. Mumavhiki apfuura, vazhinji vekuChicago vakaenda kumigwagwa kupikisa hondo muUkraine. Aya mafambiro akasimba emuno anoratidza kuzvipira kwevaChicago kumira mukubatana nenharaunda dzakatarisana nemhirizhonga yemauto, kumba nekune dzimwe nyika.
Mainvestments aya anokonzeresa hondo dzisingaperi kunze kwenyika uye mauto emapurisa pano pamba.
Izvo zvisingazivikanwe nevakawanda vekuChicago, zvakadaro, ndezvekuti madhora edu emutero emuno ari kutamba basa rakakura rezvemari mukusimudzira mauto.
Guta reChicago rine mazana emamiriyoni emadhora akaiswa mukugadzira zvombo uye vanoita zvehondo kuburikidza nemari yepenjeni yeguta. Semuenzaniso, homwe imwe chete, yeChicago Teachers' Pension Fund (CTPF), ine mari inosvika mazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu emamiriyoni emadhora yakasimwa mumakambani ezvombo kusanganisira vashanu vepamusoro vanogadzira zvombo: Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, uye Lockheed Martin. Kudyara uku kunokonzeresa hondo dzisingaperi kunze kwenyika uye mauto emapurisa pano pamusha, izvo zvinopikisana zvakananga kune iro rinofanira kunge riri basa rekutanga reguta kuchengetedza hutano uye kugara zvakanaka kwevagari varo.
Chinhu ndechekuti, kuisa mari muzvombo hakutomboite pfungwa yakanaka yehupfumi. Studies ratidza kuti kudyara muhutano, dzidzo, uye simba rakachena rinogadzira mamwe mabasa epamba - uye kazhinji, mabasa anobhadhara zvirinani - pane kushandisa chikamu chemauto. Panzvimbo pekudyara mune mamwe makambani makuru emauto pasirese, guta rinofanirwa kukoshesa a community impact investing zano rinopinza mari mumapurojekiti emuno anopa magariro uye / kana mabhenefiti ezvakatipoteredza kune veChicago. Community investments zvakare vane hukama hwakaderera nemakirasi echinyakare emidziyo, kutenderedza kuderera kwemusika uye njodzi dzehurongwa muhupfumi. Zvakare, ivo vanopa mabhenefiti emari senge portfolio diversification, iyo inotsigira kudzikisira njodzi. Muchokwadi, 2020 yaive rekodi gore yekudyara zvine chekuita nemagariro uye zvakatipoteredza, neESG (Environmental Social Governance) mari inodarika mari yechinyakare equity. Nyanzvi dzakawanda dzinotarisira kuramba dzichikura.
Sezvo mari yemitero yeguta ichibva kuvanhu, mari iyi inofanira kuiswa nenzira inowirirana nezvishuvo zvevagari veGuta. Pakudyara midziyo yaro, guta rinofanirwa kuita sarudzo nemaune pamusoro pemaitirwo emari, sarudzo dzinofambiswa nehunhu hwekugarisa, kusimbaradza nharaunda, kuenzana kwemarudzi, kuita maererano nemamiriro ekunze, kugadzwa kwehupfumi hwesimba rinodzokororwa, nezvimwe.
Zvinofanira kutaurwa, zvisinei, kuti guta rakatoita mamwe matanho madiki munzira iyi. Semuyenzaniso, Chicago nguva pfupi yadarika yakava guta rekutanga pasi rose kusaina kuUnited Nations' Mitemo yeResponsible Investment muna 2018. Uye nguva pfupi yadarika, Treasurer weChicago City Melissa Conyears-Ervin. akaita kuti zvive zvakakosha kuisa madhora eGuta nemafemu ekudyara anosangana nekusiyana, kuenzana, uye maitiro ekubatanidza. Aya matanho akakosha akananga kuhurongwa hwekudyara hunokoshesa vanhu nepasi, mukuwedzera kune purofiti yemari. Kubvisa mari yepenjeni yeGuta kubva kuzvombo ndiro danho rinotevera.
Yave nguva yadarika yekuti Chicago imire kupisa zvombo, hondo, uye mhirizhonga nemadhora edu emitero.
Saizvozvo, sarudzo ichangoburwa yeCity Council yakaunzwa naAlderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, uye yakatsigirwa pamwe nenhamba iri kukura yealderpeople., inovavarira kuita izvozvo chaizvo. Resolution R2021-1305 inodaidzira kuongororwazve kwakakosha kwezvakabatwa neGuta, kutengeswa kwemari iripo muvagadziri vezvombo, uye kutorwa kwegwaro rekudyara zvine chekuita nemagariro rinomiririra izvo zvinonyanya kukosha munharaunda yedu. Zvichavharawo mari mune ramangwana mumakambani ezvombo.
Yave nguva yadarika yekuti Chicago imire kupisa zvombo, hondo, uye mhirizhonga nemadhora edu emitero. Nekuenderera mberi nebasa reGuta rekurwisa mauto, veChicago vanogona kushandisa manzwi edu kusheedzera kupera kwemhirizhonga yechiuto mukudyara kwedu, mumigwagwa yedu nepasirese.
