United Working Families

For the many, not the few.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

Over 200,000 in the streets this weekend.
Chicago said no kings.

Now we take that energy to May Day.

May 1: No work. No School. No Shopping.
Join us.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

This isn’t an accident, it’s a strategy.

Starve public services, point to the damage, then hand them over to private interests. Meanwhile, working families are left with fewer resources and fewer opportunities.

CTU is standing up for the public good, because our schools, our communities, and our futures aren’t for sale.

Join us this May Day as we organize for investment, accountability, and justice. ✊🏽

No Kings, No ICE, No Billionaires.

The Billionaire Right and their war on the rest of us are not welcome in our city. Chicago’s vast justice movements kneel for no one.

Join us at Grant Park this Saturday, March 28th, at 1:30pm to demand: HANDS OFF CHICAGO!

[UE @ueunion]

Join us March 28th to say: No Kings. No ICE. No Illegal Wars.

No one should have to work multiple jobs just to survive. Richard Rodriguez of @onefairwage lifted up the reality facing service workers across Chicago.

As Trump’s economic policies continue to benefit the wealthy, workers are organizing to fight back.

Today is our 90th birthday!! 🎉

Ninety years ago today, 43 delegates from 12 independent local unions gathered in Buffalo, New York. Their goal was ambitious: a new union to represent the hundreds of thousands of workers in the electrical and radio manufacturing industry. (1/5)

High school history teacher and our president, Stacy Davis Gates, is standing in solidarity with the Minneapolis community fighting back against ICE’s terror.

From the Civil War to the creation of the Department of Education, workers have always been at the forefront of social and political justice. Today is no different.

We must act with deep solidarity and love for our neighbors to build a liberated world. We must act to end racial and economic exploitation, and begin the process of repair and reconstruction.

As we celebrate the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr. today, we know that honoring his legacy requires a commitment to collective action.
