Public schools, immigrants, people of color and others in our communities face new national threats on top of the challenges we already face locally. On January 19, educators, parents and students will unite in a national day of action at schools across the country. In Chicago, schools will choose an action to demonstrate their unity and demand:

• Make all Chicago Public Schools Sanctuary Schools
• Pass a Millionaires Tax to increase K-12 Public School Funding
• Fund our Public Universities: end tax breaks for hedge fund billionaires
• Say NO to Betsy DeVos, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Education
• Democratically Elected School Boards in Chicago and all Illinois districts
