Letter to the Editor: Chicagoans, are you ready to fight for our public schools? – Chicago Sun-Times

Jenni Custer, CPS elected school board member: "As a former Itasca Education Association-Illinois Education Association president, I fought for my members and believe collective bargaining is a sacred process and teachers deserve the best working conditions, pay, benefits and retirement possible. And if our students can’t eat, be housed or supported, how can they learn? All of that is for naught if the district becomes insolvent, and that’s what (Mayor Brandon) Johnson’s loan would do."
