Show Notes
After weeks of back and forth in City Council and months of street protests, Chicago became the largest city in the country to pass a resolution calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza. Chalkbeat Chicago’s Samantha Smylie and The Triibe’s Tonia Hill are here to discuss the tense scene at City Hall this week and the dozens of student walkouts in support of the resolution. We are also discussing the Illinois Board of Education’s $11 billion budget proposal, the future of free pre-k in Chicago Public Schools, and the abrupt closure of Chatham’s movie theater. Plus, we’ve got some coupon tips and birthday wishes!
