Join us for a preview screening of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, a Peacock Original movie. Organized in coordination with the Zinn Education Project, the event will include a reception at 4:45 PM. The movie will begin at 5:15 and a short discussion will follow. This event is part of the CTU’s Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action for 2023.

Let’s get together at the CTU for a phone bank so we can let our sisters know why Brandon is Better for Chicago. Here are some of the issues that will make Brandon a better mayor for Chicago women:
- expanded parental leave for all city workers, including educators
- raising the minimum wage
- expanded affordable housing.
At this event, we will gather students, educators, and other community members to discuss solutions to the trauma that so many individuals and communities are experiencing. This will be an opportunity to hear about people’s experiences and to propose concrete solutions and demands that we can raise collectively in order to address the trauma that so many suffer.

The CTU is going to help members use the Special Education state complaint process to advocate for student services. We are also looking for instances where ten-day notices must be issued or where Local School Councils can be engaged about SpEd violations.
If you are willing to be a part of the state complaint process, please join us at a this workshop to start the state complaint process. We encourage you to bring others from your school and to work as a team. This workshop is for both those who attended the January 17 meeting as well as first timers.
Back in April 2020, the Chicago Sun Times profiled Mariah Bingham (above), who is just one of 17,000 houseless CPS students. Stories like these are why the CTU’s Housing Committee exists.
You’re invited to a February 16 meeting and film screening in the North Lawndale / Herzl community to discuss the problem of houselessness among CPS families. The goal of the event is to discuss ways to help our students and their families secure stable housing.
“The Color Tax: Origins of the Modern-Day Racial Wealth Gap” is the third episode of a five-episode documentary series exploring the racial wealth gap in Chicago. This episode looks at how the real-estate industry and the federal government designed housing policies that led to the rapid expansion of the white middle class and the erosion of Black homeownership.
Refreshments will be served. We look forward to seeing you on February 16!
