Join PDA Chicago as we stand with the Chicago Teachers Solidarity Campaign this Wednesday, August 8, to protest public tax money going to corporate welfare.
5:30-8:00 p.m., Lake Park Ave. and E. 53rd St., Chicago, 60615
$5.2 million of property taxes intended for our public schools is going to Hyatt Hotels, a company that doesn’t need it. No more corporate welfare!
Reflections from the Workers United Hall at 333 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago IL on July 30, 2012 – Chicago Teachers Solidarity Campaign meeting.
Present, past and future merge –
Their voices echo off cold brick walls – shattering doubt and despair.
Only resolve lives here!
Great women and men sat on this very chair – plotting justice.
Alive and well – justice lives here!
Their rough hands pounded on this table – a solidarity drum – Here! Here!
Only solidarity lives here!
From the stage, the people’s voices gave democracy birth – the birth pains of revolution –
America, Democracy lives here!
It is here that anguish and anger
Ours is not the first nor the last – today’s struggles strengthened by the past
Worn steps, worn bodies – warm welcome comrades!
Power through unity – our future lives here!
