Thank you @GKMC18 for demonstrating how we build community. 🖤🖤🖤 twitter.com/gkmc18/status/…

Things are still up in the air so keep on calling! Hoping the political climate is such this week that, given all the many things we AREN’T funding as a state, legislators won’t think it makes sense to extend what is really a subsidy for wealthy donors to religious schools. twitter.com/il_fps/status/…

Illinois has an opportunity to strike a pro-public schools, pro-democracy, pro-civil rights path forward by letting the Invest in Kids school voucher program sunset as planned. Let's get this done, Illinois! - Action steps here: ilfps.org/session_not_do…

How did a large new charter school expansion get approved in Jefferson Park without any public input, any public notice, or any actual need? We’ve been out spreading the word, but we need your help—sign our petition to the IL Board of Ed today: bit.ly/no-new-charter

😍! THANKS to all who signed the petition to @ISBEnews opposing a new Chicago charter campus. You know that our local neighborhood public schools are too valuable to lose students & funding. Pass it on! #NoNewCharter If you haven't signed, please do! bit.ly/no-new-charter

Our parents are not map experts, but they understand the lack of representation. At RYH, we strongly oppose the current maps. We disagree with the reckless and dismissive participation being offered. Help us send this message loud and clear. Share🥰✊🏼 bit.ly/ERSBaction

Gather round, friends, and let me tell you the story of District S, the district in the new ILGA map that should prompt a Voting Rights Act challenge and some general collective outrage about this map and the way it was dropped. twitter.com/miriamcb/statu…

10 years ago, Rahm closed 50 neighborhood public schools. The impacts were awful for our students, their families and far too many communities. Read about the impacts 10 years later in this article from @WBEZ. graphics.suntimes.com/education/2023…

There's a lot of conversation about Chicago's youth. This new event was designed to center young people’s voices and opinions, and empower them as they navigate the world. thetriibe.com/2023/05/chicag…

Apr 30-May 6, 2023 Chicago's Covid Community Transmission Level is MODERATE; Influenza activity, RSV ER visits & RSV positivity are low; Parainfluenza & Rhinovirus/Enterovirus went up, & Adenovirus & Human Metapneumovirus went down. @GKMC18 @BLMChi @BlackYouthProj @CTULocal1

One of those political cartoons that's supposed to scare you but is actually depicting something cool and good

Studies show white people are less likely to wear a mask, less worried about spreading COVID to others, and are less supportive of safety measures after learning COVID disproportionately harms communities of color. If you are a leftist that's ignoring COVID, what are you doing?

Public funds should be for public schools that serve all children. It must be "game over" for IL's voucher program; the Invest in Kids Act must sunset as intended by the IL General Assembly after this school year! JOIN THE MOVEMENT! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-y…

Whether legislators save the Invest in Kids Tax Credit Scholarship Program that is set to expire at the end of this year is still unknown. That can change with your voice. Answer the @capitolfax Poll RIGHT NOW! Let them know, we want to end vouchers! capitolfax.com/2023/05/16/que…

We need to do more to support LGBTQ+ youth as they face a dangerous political landscape. Now more than ever, they need welcoming environments. Along with @ADL, we're bringing conversations about identity-based bullying to the forefront. Read more: hrc.im/LGBTQ+Youth 🏳️‍🌈💙

Thank you, Chicago! It’s time to get to work.

It's time to fire @DrArwady collaborativeforcommunitywellness.org/firearwady

@jimdaleywrites @_ToniaHill @TheTRiiBE We absolutely knew it was happening. So glad we outorganized and outvoted this Paul Vallas machine. 💰💰💰🤑

Incredible work by @_ToniaHill and the whole @TheTRiiBE team to produce a deep dive into Vallas's failed attempt to buy Chicago's Black vote: thetriibe.com/2023/05/vallas…
