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!
