On Saturday, the Chicago Teachers Union organized a protest dubbed “Funds Not Feds” outside the Chicago headquarters of Google. They’re demanding an end to ICE raids and calling for federal funds to be redirected to schools, healthcare, food assistance and violence prevention. This is Chicago Alderperson Anthony Joel Quezada.
Anthony Joel Quezada: “We’re also here because we know what we’re up against. Donald Trump and his fascist authoritarian administration are advancing an agenda built on fear and division. They are stripping away healthcare, food access and housing from those who already struggle the most, like our elders and our working families. They are terrorizing our communities and kidnapping our neighbors. And while they take from the many, they reward the few.”
