I wish I knew how truly terrible Lori Lightfoot was back when we were protesting against her. My signs would have been much bawdier. Who knew LL's City Hall talked like drunk pirates?

Autistic children, specifically Black Autistic boys are in danger. Our police are not trained to handle a mental health crisis. These children are losing their lives, we can't let it happen again. youtu.be/OipRWSG2A64?si…
The bigger the ask on these positions the more elite the pool becomes. Let's face it we are a school system attended by poor and working class families. This board in the terms it's being built will not reflect our school communities.
@ChiParentsAct The first two to file for school board are white, from wealthy Hyde Park and East Lakeview. Maybe they're good candidates. But 71% of CPS families are low income. 85% whose buses were cancelled are low income. 0% of current school board AND 0% of candidates are low income.
Just Voted Yes for @BringChiHome @thisisUIC no line
This is what people who don't support Bring Chicago Home sound like: have you ever thought about the rich people who lose a few bucks when they're making a lot bucks? What about them!
ACTION ALERT! HB 5008 is moving quickly through the IL Gen Assembly and would override Chicago Board of Ed’s vote to remove police officers from Chicago Public Schools. Tell your legislators—law-enforcement agents do not belong in schools. Find them here: bit.ly/ilgalookup
If not @stacydavisgates and @CTULocal1 then who? They have always been the lifeline. We are city of working-class families we have no voice without unions.

HB 303, formerly HB 5766, would prevent Chicago Public Schools from transitioning to a more equitable budget system. Updated fact sheet to share with your rep: bit.ly/HB303info
@VincentAuGondor @Suntimes 33 @ChiPubSchools is 5.21% of 634, a small minority. A lot of those are charter & “options” schools in poor areas, i.e., YCCS targets dropouts & other at-risk students.

I wish I knew how truly terrible Lori Lightfoot was back when we were protesting against her. My signs would have been much bawdier. Who knew LL's City Hall talked like drunk pirates?
If we pass @IllinoisAir’s HB3713’s Clean Air for Healthy Equitable Schools, we can say the same thing! #twill @SenALJohnson @replilly78 @ILRaiseYourHand @CTULocal1 @ChiParentsAct @SEIUhciimk @ilenviro @DonHarmonIL @ILSenDems @iftaft @SierraClubIL @JiananShi @citygirl622
Study links air quality improvements to fewer school COVID cases The study took place at a school that serves vulnerable students in a setting where air quality improvements were made and then monitored. ow.ly/CbVs50R8OTw
Here we see another Black Autistic boy assaulted by police, this time for no reason at all. youtu.be/gxKRzvHIuKg?si…
Autistic children, specifically Black Autistic boys are in danger. Our police are not trained to handle a mental health crisis. These children are losing their lives, we can't let it happen again. youtu.be/OipRWSG2A64?si…
Ryan Gainer deserved to live a full and happy life. His siblings deserved support rather than force.
Interesting!! 🤔
We are scratching our heads... "All nominations for alderperson of any ward in the city shall be by petition. Each petition for nomination of a candidate shall be signed by at least 473 legal voters of the ward." But, it takes 1,000 for the school board ballot?
The bigger the ask on these positions the more elite the pool becomes. Let's face it we are a school system attended by poor and working class families. This board in the terms it's being built will not reflect our school communities.
Throw on top that parenting a disabled child is socially isolating. We aren't the most popular parents by a mighty stretch. We often work much harder on school work at home, how would anyone in a situation like mine be able to pull off a run? *PS, I'm not looking to run

@ChiParentsAct Unfortunately it was not designed for parents to be part of the board. Just special interest regardless of which side of the aisle. This was made clear when they voted for it a few days ago.
@ChiParentsAct The first two to file for school board are white, from wealthy Hyde Park and East Lakeview. Maybe they're good candidates. But 71% of CPS families are low income. 85% whose buses were cancelled are low income. 0% of current school board AND 0% of candidates are low income.
Just Voted Yes for @BringChiHome @thisisUIC no line
This is what people who don't support Bring Chicago Home sound like: have you ever thought about the rich people who lose a few bucks when they're making a lot bucks? What about them!
