Political education (i.e. "poli ed") is essential for the development of organizers, organizations, and class struggle.
26 Aldermen threaten to shut down Chicago's government to protect their Corporate funders. They'd rather increase taxes on your beer and liquor, and push you to gamble more of your hard-earned money on video slots. Learn More: bit.ly/ChicagoCoughIt…

Rahm Emanuel covered up murder, closed schools & clinics Lori Lightfoot was hated by everyone & had lots of controversies Those pushing that Mayor Johnson is worse than them honestly just hates public education & is attacking Brandon to attack CTU & public ed. #byerahm #16shots
Rahm Emanuel, as mayor of Chicago, covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald and closed the most public schools in the history of the United States. #FailedLeadership
Rahm covered up murder and closed public schools, clinics, & dept of environment. The fact that the IPI thinks that Brandon is worse further proves my thesis. Brandon is who you are using to try to attack the CTU, public educators, & public education. #byerahm #16shots
New Yorkers took over this billboard today in honor of Tortuguita, murdered by the cops for defending the Atlanta forest two years ago.

🧵1/3: 1k cop vacancies = Ghost cops "CPD hiring has not substantially outpaced the department’s attrition for six years. That means most of the funds set aside by Johnson for those additional police salaries are destined to be spent on other things." wbez.org/politics/2024/…
2/3: "Some public health advocates are pushing an alternative to the ghost cops. This week Ald. Jessie Fuentes, 26th Ward, filed a proposed budget amendment that would shift an estimated $16m for those salaries to city public health programs, youth jobs, …
3/3: "At a City Hall news conference to support the measure this week, Ald. Rossana Rodríguez, 33rd Ward, said the police positions “are just sitting there, not providing safety for anybody.” “How about we use that money [to] provide safety for people?” Rodríguez-Sánchez asked."
This is what solidarity looks like! From powerful speeches to unwavering energy, our rally showcased the strength of educators and allies united for justice. 💪🏽 We’re building a brighter future for our students, schools, and communities.
This is the time to join an organization, to get organized. We don’t know what awaits us. But we do know that *we keep us safe* and that we need each other more than ever. Join us, or find an organization near you, and join the struggle. bit.ly/WardOrgYellowP…
