On this Día de los Muertos, we remember our loved ones and all of those gone from our communities too soon.
Their memory is sacred.
Their stories fuel our fight.
We carry them with us, in grief, in love, and in struggle. ✊🏽

🚨 BREAKING: CTU members overwhelmingly vote for a historic contract!
This contract means Chicago’s school children will have more access to arts, sports, wrap around supports, libraries, and so much more. This is a major leap forward for the schools our students deserve.

CTU is fighting for fully-staffed and fully-resourced schools - yet CPS refuses to guarantee librarians, social workers, or counselors. Why should students and educators settle for less? We’re fighting for the schools our students deserve! Chicago, stand with us. #CTUStrong bit.ly/439neuW
