HAPPENING NOW: @ctulocal1 members at Richards Career Academy are inviting everyone to participate in our contract negotiations.

This is different from negotiations of the past: we are going to engage the entire city of Chicago in our contract negotiation for the common good.

Richards Teacher Natalie’s Segura shares:

I became more involved in my union because I saw the injustice that many times our students go through at schools.

I wanted a change, and to give our children the schools that they deserve.

Christel Williams, CTU Recording Secretary and “PRSP for life,” talks about the role that they play in our schools and why funding their work is so critical.

April Harris from Chicago Coalition for the Homeless shares

“Times when my family was in danger - CTU members, teachers and staff were advocates for my children and family.

I am standing with CTU — we need housing + wraparound services as part of this contract!”
