Remember when candidate Lightfoot promised Chicagoans an Elected School Board? Now she’s fighting to stop us from getting an #ERSB. #2Years2Much

This is IL Sen Pres Harmon’s Oak Park Dem Committeeman office. Appears he values democracy & the right to vote, yet he didn’t call Chicago #ERSB #SB2497 for a senate vote. Chicagoans overwhelmingly want a fully elected representative board of ed. Stop blocking #DemocracyForCPS.

Seems like everyone in Chicago wants an elected school board, so this should be smooth sailing, right? Not sure what hurdles to it there could possibly be. #ERSB

Advance IL lobbyist touting LSCs as substitute for actual elected school board in Chicago: um, no---the mayoral controlled board is undermining LSC empowerment every day! #ERSB

Do you think it’s fair that Black and Brown Chicago communities have little say in how our school system runs and the the billions of dollars are spent in the school district? Chicago needs an elected representative school board like the rest of Illinois! #ERSB

For centuries our children have been an investment in CPS who has operated as a business catering to those with privilege and ignoring their needs. Today, we say, no more! Time to mobilize parents to have an Elective seat at the table. Time to represent our children. #ERSB ❤✊🏾

Hitting the hood for an Elected School Board. No more school closures. We, the parents, demand a voice in the decision-making process of our children. #AustinNeighborhood #ERSB NOW!! ❤✊🏽

I’m so tired of these faux “opportunities” for #ParentVoice an argument against #ERSB is elected LSCs. Any issue I’ve had is met w/ “bring it to LSC! Get involved!” Well, guess what happens LSC votes down budget? It just gets pushed on thru anyway! 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ #FakeParentVoice #ERSBNow

Today I joined my colleagues in asking President to bring the Elected School Board Bill to a vote. We are in a moment that makes it clear that this is necessary in Chicago. #ERSB

Mayor says it's not for her to "usurp the authority" of LSC's on the matter of police officers in schools.

I received a direct mailing from Stand for Children (whose children?) opposing democracy in Chicago. I thought it'd be a good time to reach out to my reps and to tell them that I, like 90% of Chicagoans, support a fully elected school board #ERSB

.@stacydavisgates why are you threatened by Chicago families having the power to choose schools that aren’t under the control of your union?
Is it because your union been bad for those schools?
