@docswin @principalMira Thank you, Dr. Swinney, for all of the hard work you and your team at the Office of Equity have done in guiding our process. We look forward to our continued ABAR work together.

Today, the BOE voted to rename our school, Harriet Tubman Elementary School. We're grateful to our parents, community members and, most of all, students, who used their voices to push this forward. We may be first, but won't be last. #removecpsracism

“Outside North Lawndale Community Academy on Monday, residents in the street and speakers at the podium challenged Mayor Lightfoot, asking ‘What happened to your equity, Lightfoot?’” @janicejackson @chicagosmayor

A North Lawndale resident and 1995 graduate of Lawndale Community Academy is out here fighting to keep the school open wants to know one thing...

Why won't the city invest in the schools instead of closing them down?

Undisputed 2020 challenges aside, "good enough" is not good enough in matters of equity of voice & opportunity.

There is no form of protest against racism that is acceptable to racists.

Why not improve “bad” schools instead of letting people choose schools? Why not create resources instead of this phantom “school choice” that black and brown kids will be redlined out of.
