A police officer shot and killed a 13-year-old who stopped & put his hands up when the officer said to. A boy whose body was fully open & vulnerable to an officer’s weapon. What we see is exactly what happens when police are taught that their lives matter more than anyone else’s.

CPS has once again announced reopening without any bargaining with educators or stakeholders. And done so when the COVID-19 pandemic is as worse as ever.

There is no equity in Chicago’s vaccination plan - we are at the back of the line. If you have money, you can get vaccinated in Chicago before essential workers and seniors. No oversight to vaccinate our local residents first. Stop promoting Republican narratives about reopening.
We are completely committed to making sure everyone in the CPS community gets vaccinated as soon as possible. In fact, we have a data and equity driven plan to do just that.

CPS received ~$2 billion in federal funds. We proposed along

an ordinance to have vaccination sites in each school, proper testing, tracing & PPE. Lightfoot had this ordinance months ago, yet she ignored it. LA schools are doing just this, whats she waiting for?
West Side schools are facing a staggering 35% COVID positivity rate, with at least a dozen staffers and 40-60% of students out in many buildings post-winter break. This is why testing for safe return is essential. And why educators are working remotely for safety.

A horrendous way to treat an immigrant trailblazer "Today I received anti-immigrant attacks by Aida Flores and her supporters, they were screaming to deport me and my son for fighting for the truth and defending the undocumented people from the public policies that affect us."
El día de hoy recibí ataques anti inmigrantes por parte de Aida Flores y sus acompañantes, pedían a gritos que me deportan y deportaran a mi hijo por luchar por la verdad y defender al pueblo indocumentado de las políticas públicas que nos afectan.

This ❄️ weekend ❄️ is an exemplary example of why budgets are moral documents. Billionaires and their conspirators have stolen our government from the many, the majority of us who have no heart and no tolerance for the inhumanity of our fellow human beings suffering in the cold.

CPS plan is not safe, w/ 2 new strains of the virus confirmed it is irresponsible to reopen schools. Lightfoot should be focus on securing 2 million vaccines & permanent testing/vaccine sites for each neighborhood as a priority. We lost over 4k people. Stop tolerating more death.

@CTULocal1
vote to continue remote learning as Mayor Lori Lightfoot pushes for teachers to return to class. 71 percent of teachers voted in favor of continued remote learning and, if the mayor locks them out, a strike.
