Springfield Rally and Lobby Day for Elected Representative School Board
Thursday, February 18th
6:00 AM till 6:00 PM
The TSJ Bus will be at 1100 S. Hamilton.
Parking is available, $2-3 for the day
We're taking our fight for an Elected Representative School Board(ERSB)to Springfield!! Sign up to get on the TSJ bus to join hundreds of other parents, teachers, community members, and students in Springfield. Feb. 18, to let legislators know we want an elected representative school board in Chicago-now!! We will have a rally in the capital and talk to legislators.
We have 60 pledged "yes" votes in the State Assembly for House Bill 4682 for an elected school board. The time is now! This is our alternative to Rauner's state take over and Rahm's racist corporate agenda to break the CTU, cut resources to neighborhood schools, and privatize. When parents and grandparents have to go on a 34 day hunber strike to get a quality neighborhood high school (Dyett HS), it's time for an elected school board that represents the people who actually attend and teach in cps schools.
Food-We will provide breakfast for the bus (e.g., fruit, pan dulce), but please bring your own coffee! We also will get box lunches which cost $8-10. Please be prepared to pay IF you are able-everyone will get lunch, but TSJ is an all-volunteer organization and we all chip in what we can.
* Space is limited!! Reserve your spot on the TSJ bus TODAY! Fill out the form, click here now! And please-we want to accommodate everyone who can go, so please do not commit unless you are sure that you can make it (to the best of your knowledge, of course!).
Email us if you have any questions!
