I had the privilege on working through city problems with visionary future leaders of Ms. Hobbs’ ESL class at East High School this morning. We talked affordable housing, homelessness, potholes, immigration, schools, trash, and road diets!

Congrats to my friend/organizer Jenay Manley for stepping into the role as Director of THE most powerful tenant union. Thank you to my friend & forever coconspirator Tara Raghuveer for your leadership, sacrifice, & constant commitment to the growth of others. Long live the Union!

We marked 7 years of KC Tenants building power, picking fights, & winning material gains with the people. KCT has empowered thousands who feel tired & beat down to do something about it- to build anyway, to organize anyway & to fight like their lives depend on it because they do.

Following Aspira’s financial problems, the Chicago Board of Education on Thursday revoked the operator’s charter, a dramatic step the board hasn’t taken since 2019. wbez.org/education/2026…

The largest rent strike in MN history could start March 1st. Twin City tenants aren't leaving any power on the table. Keep your eyes on Minnesota.
Tara Raghuveer@taraghuveer

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @GovTimWalz fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

BREAKING ‼️135+ state & local electeds across 30 states demand that @GovTimWalz allow Minnesota cities to enact eviction moratoriums. As ICE rips families apart, these leaders say families belong at HOME. localprog.org/LPMNEVLetter

New: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next. propub.li/4aCXwlA

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Thank you to every single person who has put their body on the line to speak out against the state funded terrorist group ICE. I will continue to fight against this ICE concentration camp. fox4kc.com/news/kc-counci…
