Just for clarity: teachers are not being paid right now. They are not collecting unemployment or being β€œpaid to stay home.” Locked out teachers are not being paid and some teachers have told me they have been unable to use their health insurance because they show up as β€œinactive”

By reopening schools right after the holidays CPS is not only putting everyone at risk, it’s also placing the burden of preventing spread on teachers and staff. This is dangerous and so unfair. I stand with teachers and staff fighting ( as always) for the most basic things.

Capitalism is so evil. Tax dollars spent on police to harass, abuse & criminalize people instead of investing to care for people by solving the social problem. It’s sickening.

I wish the Mayor had some respect for teachers. To accuse the union who had to fight her to get nurses, social workers and protections for undocumented and unhoused students of β€œcausing chaos” is beyond ludicrous. Teachers are teaching and caring for students every day.

I’m still processing the fact that a man was shot by CPD for apparently moving between train cars. How is shooting an unarmed human being the default response to resisting arrest? This is disturbing and we have so much work to do to make sure it never happens again.

CPD is resistant to reform. New policies & training wont change the culture or how the institution interacts with our communities. Defunding the police and funding our lives and the healing of our communities is the only way to repair the harm and build a society worth living in.

I think Police shouldn’t conduct wellness checks. There’s a lot of other professionals better equipped to do that work. The fact that we spent millions of dollars on Police for β€œwellness checks” ( a definition of what this means wasn’t provided) during a pandemic is disgraceful.

As the only progressive Latina in City Council I’m deeply disappointed in Alderwoman King using her title as chair of our caucus to endorse Paul Vallas. It’s shameful to see how all of Vallas ties to right wing actors/ideology gets conveniently swept under the rug. This is sad.

What teachers are asking for a basic. Children and staff should be tested. Let parents opt out and do a universal testing program. Have vaccinations in schools. Allow a little time to get ready and let children connect online for a little bit. No one wants to shut down schools!
