In response to increasing anti-LGBTQ+ measures across the country, the Chicago Teachers Union has ratified a significant contract with Chicago Public Schools that includes extensive LGBTQ+ protections. Key provisions involve gender-affirming healthcare for staff, the appointment of a Gender Support Coordinator in every school, and mandates for inclusive curriculum standards. This landmark agreement aims to safeguard the rights and dignity of students amid a hostile political climate, as educators assert that every student deserves safety and support.
This contract isn't just about survival - it's about joy. It tells our students: we see you, we protect you, and you are safe here.
We are the counterbalance. We are the resistance.
