Let’s be clear: the recent abortion bans will not stop abortions from happening. They will only ensure that some groups — specifically, poor people and people of color — are disproportionately punished when seeking access to abortions. #AbortionBan https://t.co/Q5eZ8KwJfA

Karina from @BPNCchicago recalls testifying in Springfield. “Years later, we are still waiting. As a student I saw how CPS & the board ignored our needs. I don’t have any trust in any mayoral appointed school board. We need a guarantee for full & elected representation.”

[Grassroots Collaborative @GrassrootsChi]

Margarita from @EnlaceChicago & other groups here: Sen. John Cullerton, stop blocking ERSB bill as you’ve done for years. “As a parent, I want real representation on the school board. They do not respect us. I have voted for LSC reps, I want the same for the school board.”
