There isn't a grocery store on King Drive south of 39th Street. You can drive south on King Drive, from that Mariano's off of Pershing, and not see another grocery store. Get mad about that.

Happy day after EARTH Day! @CTULocal1 is fighting for healthy, green, sustainable schools in our next union contract. For the first time, we have a set of Climate Justice proposals in which we are asking CPS to agree to key contract demands!
Just one of the countless reasons to support the contract proposed by Chicago’s Public Educators via @CTULocal1

"CPS reports that 514 schools have a music program, which means 120 don’t. Out of 157 high schools, only 47 have marching bands. This, despite the real world benefits that music brings," writes @NeilSteinberg. trib.al/2Fhpegr
EBF promised to get all IL school districts to “adequate” funding by 2027 by adding $350 million in new money for K-12 education every year. But the formula says CPS is still another $1 billion short of “adequacy.” chalkbeat.org/chicago/2024/0…
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2nd annual Pedal for the Planet event to celebrate the start of Earth Week & Earth Day tomorrow Grateful for @bikegridnow & @CTULocal1 climate justice committee working together for a safe & connected bike grid, parks, & green schools

Paul Prescod: The reality today is black workers have the highest union density of any racial demographic. A lot of people are surprised because I don't think that reality has caught up to the image of black workers. And the leadership hasn't caught up to that reality.
“Springfield should be focused on fully funding all public schools through the evidence-based funding formula approved in 2017…. the formula says CPS is still another $1 billion short of ‘adequacy.’” chalkbeat.org/chicago/2024/0…
LIVE: Hear from the Black workers who have been building labor power all along. Organizers on this intergenerational panel will discuss how they have taken up this struggle, what has changed, what remains the same, and how to move forward. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Congratulations to @HBHWorkers for this historic victory. From the first contract for @INAaction workers at Howard Brown Health, to the brave Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee for their victorious @UAW union drive, workers everywhere deserve dignity.

BIG NEWS!! Hundreds of Local 1 @ChiPubSchools custodians have unanimously voted to ratify their new three-year contract! Local 1 custodians won significant raises, extra time off, protected their healthcare and much more!
@ctpf_tweets trustee Paula Barajas encourages unionists @labornotes to ensure all our funds to “make money but not at the cost of the common good.”
From last week’s roundtable w @stacydavisgates @AFTunion @rweingarten — At Collins Academy on the west side, @ChicagosMayor asked: “What do you need?” Students answered: “More resources, better opportunities, and more exposure.” chalkbeat.org/chicago/2024/0…

Union households have 1.7 the median wealth of nonunion households. Union employees are about $100,000 richer than nonunion employees. Unions narrow the racial wealth gap. Union membership narrow the wealth gap between working class and college-educated households. Unionize.

📣 Pls support IL HB3713 Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools. We already passed the House and are now hoping to be assigned to a Senate committee (deadline to pass out of committee was moved to 5/3). Please like & repost! Keep making noise! 📣 #twill
I oppose HB 303. It would further build in funding inequities into CPS! Why should neighborhood schools like my daughter's bear the burden of the anticipated budget shortfall? Also, we know there are are inequities by race/class in who admitted to SE schools. We need change!
HB 303 as amended passed out of committee this am 11-0. Floor vote before end of week is possible. Please ask your state rep to OPPOSE this bill that makes more equitable budgeting in CPS impossible for next three budget cycles. Updated fact sheet: assets.nationbuilder.com/ilfps/pages/13…
