Richard Chew is joined by Stacy Davis Gates, president of the Chicago Teachers Union.

Davis Gates discussed the challenges facing Chicago's educational system. She also touched on the media's focus on negative aspects of local leadership, highlighting the impact of staffing cuts and billionaire ownership on the quality of journalism. Davis Gates advocated for tax fairness, funding public services, and addressing systemic issues like white supremacy and patriarchy. She criticized the federal government's spending to keep National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., while cities like Chicago lack funding for essential services.
