Partner Action: Community Input on Chicago Fire Stadium
The developers of the proposed Chicago Fire stadium are rushing through amendments to their plans for The 78 – WITHOUT transit improvements or a community benefits agreement for the Chinatown community.
In 2019, a plan was approved with a $550m TIF that included a new Red line station and realigning the Metra tracks to allow pedestrian and cycling improvements on Clark. But now, the developers are proposing to build a Chicago Fire stadium with ZERO of the promised transit improvements!
This will not do! The developers are trying to ram this through the Planning Commission and leaders need to hear that you want them to slow down and support a CBA and a return of the promised transit improvements!

Indivisible Action: Why Fascists Fear Teachers - A Conversation w/ Randi Weingarten 9/30
Across history, authoritarian regimes have feared educators—because teaching truth and critical thinking empowers students and communities to resist oppression. Today, public education is under attack, and defending teachers is defending democracy itself. We have seen broad attacks and lies against subjects like Critical Race Theory and the accurate retelling of our nation’s history of oppressing black and minority demographics. We have also seen attacks against reputable educators and accurate content – from the deepest of red and rural America to the bluest of urban centers. All of this is an attack against the truth and fact.
Join Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, for a dynamic conversation on her book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers. Randi will highlight how educators fight for freedom in classrooms, the dangers of censorship and attacks on schools, and why standing with teachers is a revolutionary act.
Ahead of World Teachers’ Day on Oct. 5th, this event is a must for activists, educators, and anyone who believes truth and education are essential to democracy.
👉 Join the event on Tuesday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m.
