I feel more hope for Chicago today than I have in months.

"J1 visa holders rack up debts paying recruitment fees so that they can work here, only to face exploitative working conditions and retaliation when they fight for their rights."

@CTULocal1 @ChiPubSchools @SharkeyCTU1 City could be hoping for "a dive and catch," but don't expect us to go to midnight on Oct. 16, Sharkey says. I can't put out a notice for our delegates to meet at 2a, turn around and teach at 6a. "We're going to need some time to read it... Now is the time for stuff to move."
