Three educators, three CTU members, three candidates for a Chicago that its residents deserve. In this episode, co-hosts Tara Stamps and Jim Staros speak with mayoral candidate Brandon Johnson, 36th ward candidate Lori Torres, and 50th ward candidate Mueze Bawany about what running for office means to them. Each of these educators have based their political program on their experiences of classroom teaching and an acute sense of what their school communities need. Here, CTU Speaks! delves into the issues and strategies they advocate for remaking Chicago into a city that meets more than the needs of the superrich and the ruling political establishment they have erected.
