Topics
** What's Behind Skyrocketing Prices?
Over the past 12 months, prices have risen faster than they have since 1982. Workers in the wealthiest country in the world are struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table. Why are prices for food, energy and other basic necessities so high?


** Education is a Right!
Why are schools under-funded and closing in Chicago and all around the country?  Hear about the struggle for education funding in Illinois, and what we can do to build a mass movement for better schools.


Join us for talks, discussion and organizing. Power to the people, not the politicians!
