Support the Hunger Strike for the Dyett Global Leadership and Green Technology High School
12 Parents, grandparents, community members and supporters from around the city started a hunger strike on August, 17th.
Their demand is simple. Rahm Emanuel and his appointed school board needs to follow the community's wishes and use the now shuttered Dyett High School Building at 555E 51st St. for the innovative, academically excellent and culturally connected Dyett Global Leadership and Green Technology High School.

There are many ways you can help.
Come out and support these heroes. They'll be at the Dyett HS location unless there is rain when they'll be at the Rainbow Push Coalition's office at 930 E. 50th St.
Bring water, ice, fruit juice and your statements of solidarity to help sustain the strikers.
Spread the word in the real world and on social media. Hashtags: #FightForDyett and #WeAreDyett
