Grateful for Abdul Basheer, a graduate student from @HistUIC who worked as an intern for the Dis/Placements Project. Stay tuned for his research that captures the Bosnian experience in Uptown, which will be represented via a zine and incorporated in our interactive timeline.
Grateful to participate in this podcast by @99piorg & w/ @anthonyocampo about balikbayan boxes that tell a complicated story about the Philippines & its labor export & remittance economy. Remembering my late dad whose labor is part of this story. @thisisUIC@UICGLAS @bfloodUIC
Crucial reading - Daring to Struggle, Daring to Win by former 46th ward alderwoman Helen Shiller @shillerista@haymarketbooks. Chronicling 5 decades of resistance against the Daley machine, it documents the life of a fierce leader & the radical social movements that sustained her
Proud to unveil “The Heart that Beats” mural created by @UICGLAS students paying tribute to the fierce history of Uptown & its intersecting movements & resistance. Honored to unveil it at the @ClayFor46 aldermanic campaign launch.

The GEO membership has decisively ratified our next contract! The strike is no longer suspended--it's now ended! We look forward to implementing this contract
The issue of retro pay has come to the fore. @thisisUIC would deny 90% of workers retro pay for the past year. So we're still on strike. Come to the pickets 9:00-4:00 and show them we'll never accept that!
In solidarity with @uicgeo. Donate to their strike fund: https://t.co/jJzmAbCAIJ; join their letter campaign: https://t.co/ZKsADW6afV / For more information: https://t.co/RRhIRmlqJw #IStandWithGEO".
