Join us in spending a few hours of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend fighting for our communities, our students and our schools. NA4J is partnering with CTU members, parents, students, and other community organizations across Chicago to SAVE OUR SCHOOLS!

Join us for a day of Community Outreach
Saturday, January 19th
11:00am to 1:00pm
Meet at Stockton Elementary in Uptown
4420 N. Beacon (just north of Montrose)


The Mayor and Board of Education have closed or taken over dozens of schools every year, targeting Black and Latino neighborhoods. These closings take resources that our students deserve, destabilize our neighborhoods, and increase racial inequity at CPS.

The Board of Education is now planning to close dozens more schools, taking even more from the communities that have lost the most. They plan to close schools in part to pay for corporate handouts and more privatized “charter schools” controlled by the Mayor’s supporters—taking our community’s schools, jobs, and VOICE.


NA4J is part of GEM (Grassroots Education Movement). Our partner organizations include the Albany Park Neighborhood Council, Blocks Together, Kenwood Oakland Community Organization, the Chicago Teachers Union, and other members.

Email us at info@actionforjustice.org and let us know if you'll be there on Saturday. See you there!
