With Trump attacking Chicago communities and transferring federal budgets designated to public services to his multiple wars, ICE army, and as kickbacks for his billionaire friends, our city and country are at a decisive moment. Either we turn back his authoritarianism and demand a government that invests in attacking affordable instead of our neighbors. Or the billionaire takeover continues to take away our rights, our health care, our schools, and our democracy as we know it. What our students need, and what history teaches us is the only thing that works, is educators, labor unions, and community groups standing together to defend each other and our democracy and demand that the government put our families over their fortunes. Sign the letter to Mayor Johnson and the Board of Education members to declare May 1st a day of civic action. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/may-day-civic-action-day
