Thank you @fox32news & @paschutz for having me this week.
We must continue to address the ways the tentative agreement falls short of what we really need, & why we need to vote for @REALcaucus on Friday, May 16th.

Today, Local 2 firefighters are speaking at City Hall to get a fair contract. These brave firefighters have been going on 4 years w/o a bargaining agreement.
Enough is enough.
@REALcaucus members stand behind the Local 2 in their fight.

.@ChiPubSchools should’ve spent COVID-19 money like rich kids’ schools. @ChiStudentResp @chiradsCPS @CTU_Official @StuStrikeBack @BLMChi @GKMC18 @citygirl622 @CRitsem @REALcaucus @catlynsavado @TroyLaraviere @rgrsssn @il_fps @NaderDIssa @drmariajestrada @taylorfor20th @Join_RAGE
A new #COVID19 class war of HAVES versus HAVE NOTS—
📍Schools for rich kids—HEPA filters, Upper Room UV disinfection, UV in HVAC, unlimited free testing, and N95 masks.
📍Poorer public schools—Often nothing, zero, zilch.
📌Bonus—Richer parents have HEPA filters at home too.

I just spoke with a large primary care provider. They believe we are at the beginning of a new wave. Their clinics are seeing a large influx of cases. And of course, many patients with negative antigen tests showing up for flu tests - but are testing positive for COVID.

Conclusions:
- mask-wearing in schools was associated with decreased transmission
- higher levels of compliance were associated with greater effectiveness
- no evidence that masks negatively impacted academic performance

Teachers have been working longer hours. They’re more stressed out. And many say they’ve considered quitting. Yet the vast majority of teachers have stayed in the profession throughout the pandemic, according to a Chalkbeat analysis of the latest data: bit.ly/3J116Wq

So tired of hearing @DrArwady talk about other mitigation’s. There are no other mitigation’s in @ChiPubSchools . Masking was the last hope of keeping my ADA kid safe.

We've gotten exactly zero support from @ChiPubSchools over the last couple years and employee appreciation is a ton of corporate unity activities.
We saved a ton of lives, you stole money from our families and wasted it on this garbage.
How do you all sleep at night?

I’ve worked with 100s of kids as a teacher of 20 years. They’re incredibly kind, caring people.
The vast majority of kids are unfazed by masks & embrace that they help keep people safe.
I’m so damn tired of adults misrepresenting kids & using them to end school masking.

I often try to put into practice bell hooks' words: “how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?”
It has been so challenging with some people lately...

For context, multiple reports from across the city show dirty classrooms, lack of cleaning supplies, insects and rodents, and crumbling or out of order bathroom facilities. How are CPS students supposed to stay healthy in these conditions? #CancelAramark chicago.suntimes.com/2021/10…
