Educators for Amara

Run by a group of Chicago educators who support Amara for Mayor, the true progressive in the race!

Looking forward to this. Hope they address the student based budgeting model (needs to be equity-weighted), talk about reevaluating the selective enrollment model, and whether they support an equity office for CPS to address disparities in programmatic and capital expenditures.

A Nigerian proverb says “In times of crisis, the wise build bridges while the foolish build barriers.” We’ve got a lot of work to do starting on April 3rd. I’m up for it.

@West_Looper @mikeklonsky @MaryAnnAhernNBC @AmaraEnyia @BobFiorettiChi Last election. 2015.

@West_Looper @mikeklonsky @MaryAnnAhernNBC @AmaraEnyia She endorsed @BobFiorettiChi last election, clearly she decides based on her values and principles, not on what she will get out of it or who will win.

Still on the air talking about the Chicago mayoral runoff on @V103 . Tune in!

And once it’s back we must tackle the environmental justice issues affecting our neighborhoods and also commit to updating our zoning laws. We also need a #BlueNewDeal for Chicago. https://t.co/pyw9DdENQr https://t.co/71T83947FI via @suntimes

@Lo_Leada @AmaraEnyia There is no write in option in the runoff. You must select a candidate, or neither, but you cannot write in a name.

I firmly believe #CPS needs an Office of Equity to guide decision-making.
“Top-rated schools and high-demand academic programs are disproportionately clustered in white and higher-income areas, and fewer black and Latino students have access to them.” https://t.co/XWmNIFM42j

It’s so troubling that part of the reason for the ⬆️ grad rates for Black boys in #CPS is bc Black male high school students die at a higher rate than any other student racial and gender demographic group, according to #CPS data. #Thinkaboutthat https://t.co/ET36AIwmvq

The young people leading these fights and making their voices heard aren't going anywhere. They are what we need to build the kind of city we deserve. #NoCopAcademy

[Amara Enyia @AmaraEnyia]

What is the city’s plan to address misuse of TIF funds and make sure that blighted communities can actually benefit from $$ that spur development? Every ‘yes’ vote on #LincolnYards should have an answer and plan ready. #DelayTheTIF

[Amara Enyia @AmaraEnyia]

Current situation. Come through. These are the folks fighting for the city we all deserve. City Hall vote happening now. #NoCopAcademy @NoCopAcademy

[Amara Enyia @AmaraEnyia]

What is the city’s comprehensive plan for economic investment in our neighborhoods? - the kind that tangibly benefits existing residents both now and into the future? Every ‘yes’ vote on the cop academy should have an answer to that question already prepared. #NoCopAcademy
