The #WaterForAllChi ordinance was introduced in City Council in January. This ordinance would codify accessible, equitable, and publicly owned-water water service as a human right in Chicago. Tell @chicagosmayor and City Council to support this ordinance! bit.ly/W4APetition ImageImage
#WaterForAllChi would 1) make water affordable for low-income people, 2) ban water privatization, 3) ban tax liens and water service shutoffs, 4) ensure equity in water infrastructure funding distribution, & 5) share monthly data on water shutoffs, liens, and debt from 2010 on. Image
Both COVID-19 and water shutoffs have disproportionately affected low-income BIPOC communities in Chicago. This is not a coincidence: tell @chicagosmayor and the Chicago City Council that we need #WaterforAllChi immediately! Image
.@chicagosmayor wants everyone to wash their hands to stop the spread of COVID - what about Chicagoans without water? Tell Lightfoot to ensure equitable water access through the #WaterForAll Ordinance: bit.ly/W4APetition

Any plan to reopen that doesn’t include the opinion of @CTULocal1 or rank-and-file @SEIU73 workers is not one that is bargained in good faith. @ChicagosMayor and @ChiPubSchools need to listen to the voices of teachers and staff! #SafeReturnOrNoReturn
Although nearly 80% of CPS students are Black and brown, the vast majority of students requesting in-person learning are white and affluent. Exposing teachers and students of color to a deadly virus that has decimated these communities is inhumane #MakeItMakeSense
Unsafe working conditions for teachers are unsafe learning conditions for students. #WeStillTeach

Today, 700 Black and brown nursing home workers from 11 Infinity nursing home facilities, where 160 workers and residents have died from COVID, are going on strike. The workers are demanding hazard pay, adequate staffing, PPE, and a living wage so that workers are not forced to
work multiple jobs and risk spreading the virus. Though Infinity Nursing Homes received almost $13 Million in COVID funding, management has refused to prioritize patient care and workers before profits. These workers are standing up for themselves and saying enough is enough!
There are many strike locations in the city and suburbs. Join workers on the picket lines at any of these locations: seiuhcilin.org/infinity-nursi… #StrikeForOurLives

Here is Chicago DSA’s statement denouncing Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Chicago Police Department's handling of yesterday's protests which put more than a thousand lives at risk. We demand that those held in custody for involvement in protests be immediately released.
1/ Mayor Lightfoot and the Chicago Police Department’s response to the protests in the wake of
George Floyd’s murder has been brutally violent, repressive, and demonstrated an extreme
disregard for human life and the right to assembly.
2/ The Chicago chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (CDSA) demands that Mayor Lori Lightfoot immediately end the city curfew, allow freedom of movement by keeping drawbridges lowered and CTA service running downtown...

Yesterday, Mayor Lightfoot let landlords and banks take an unenforceable "Solidarity Pledge" while renters live in fear. We did a little research. Come meet the team of banks and landlords Lightfoot trusts with your housing (and the donations they made to ensure this outcome) 1/9 Lightfoot looking at
The only Alderman Lightfoot could find to stand with her is Harry Osterman, the Real Estate and Housing Chair. He's bought and paid for, so he let the banks and landlords write their own pledge, instead of standing up for working people and legislating. Alderman Harry Osterman. Cashed 47 real estate checks in last 2 years, including from Chicagoland Apartment Association standing right next to him.
One of Lightfoot's pledge takers, The Chicagoland Apartment Association, is evicting dozens and paying off politicians. Chicagoland Apartment Association. Board members filed 31 evictions during pandemic. $1.8 million annually to lobby politicians.
