We came together in 2012 to support the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) in their historic battle to defend their jobs and quality public education. With overwhelming popular support, the CTU pushed back against Mayor Rahm Emanuel's attack and won their strike.
Now Rahm is on the attack again, this time hiding behind Gov. Bruce Rauner's budget cuts and a pension crisis created by Chicago Public School's own mismanagement to demand a cut in base pay. But teachers have already seen their paychecks cut due to a freeze in raises based on seniority and educational attainment.
Once again, parents and community members will need to step up to support the CTU and show the mayor and CPS that Chicago won't stand by as the people who are devoted to our kids' education are coming under attack.
Join us along with other community members and labor allies to build a solidarity movement as a possible strike date approaches. Members of CTU will be present to provide an update on negotiations and then we will discuss how to support them in this fight to defend public education in our city.
