Support the Chicago teachers from afar




"There is no winning a game when the rules have been rigged, but there is power in numbers. There is power in struggle. and there is power in pizza. The easiest way to support Chicago teachers is to order them a piping hot pizza pie. You can get food to the picket lines by calling Gus or Daisy at Primo’s Pizza at (312) 243-1052. When pizza shows up to the tired picketers, everyone’s spirits are lifted. It’s read to them from which part of the country a pie was ordered and it makes them feel that much less alone.

It may seem like a small, kind of silly thing, but trust me, it means a lot."

I taught at an elementary school at 41st & State in the late 70's and will never forget being on 3 strike lines. I think only 2 teachers crossed the line, and we got tons of honks from cars, garbage trucks, delivery trucks, bus drivers, taxis, etc., etc. Some people dropped off donuts which were inhaled with great appreciation. But pizza is better.
