The Chicago Teachers Union released the following statement today regarding the passing of President Emerita Karen GJ Lewis:

Our union is in deep mourning today at the passing of our sister, our leader and our friend, President Emerita Karen GJ Lewis. We are sending heartfelt condolences to her husband, John Lewis, and her surviving family and friends. She will be dearly missed.

Karen taught us how to fight, and she taught us how to love. She was a direct descendant of the legendary Jackie Vaughn, the first Black, female president of our local. Both were fierce advocates for educators and children, but where Jackie was stately elegance, Karen was a brawler with sharp wit and an Ivy League education. She spoke three languages, loved her opera and her show tunes, and dazzled you with her smile, yet could stare down the most powerful enemies of public education and defend our institution with a force rarely seen in organized labor.

She bowed to no one, and gave strength to tens of thousands of Chicago Teachers Union educators who followed her lead, and who live by her principles to this day.

Karen had three questions that guided her leadership: ‘Does it unite us, does it build our power and does it make us stronger?’ Before her, there was no sea of red — a sea that now stretches across our nation. She was the voice of the teacher, the paraprofessional, the clinician, the counselor, the librarian and every rank-and-file educator who worked tirelessly to provide care and nurture for students; the single parent who fought tremendous odds to raise a family; and the laborer whose rights commanded honor and respect. She was a rose that grew out of South Side Chicago concrete — filled with love for her Kenwood Broncos alumni — to not only reach great heights, but to elevate everyone she led to those same heights.

But Karen did not just lead our movement. Karen was our movement. In 2013, she said that in order to change public education in Chicago, we had to change Chicago, and change the political landscape of our city. Chicago has changed because of her. We have more fighters for justice and equity because of Karen, and because she was a champion — the people’s champion.

Our hearts are heavy today, but it brings us joy to know that Karen has joined Jackie Vaughn, Marion Stamps, Addie Wyatt and Willie Barrow as the vanguard of Black women who have forged a heroic path of labor, justice and civil rights in our city. Karen now sits among them, still guiding our every move, and still guiding our vision for the schools our students and their families deserve.

Wearing some #RedForEd while I work on this, the day before Labor Day weekend (good morning to all the unions whose leaders don’t sell out their rank and file) in solidarity with the teachers, students, and parents saying #WeWontDieForDOE as De Blasio insists on pushing in-person teaching when… *points at pandemic*

Dude’s more than happy to pass a budget overfunding the brutalizing NYPD and defunding education/parks/other useful things, then is all *shocked Pikachu* when there’s pushback on this because said defunding limits how well schools can even prep? 🤦🏽‍♂️ Sign/share @morecaucusuft’s petition to demand in-person school #OnlyWhenItsSafe: https://www.change.org/p/nyc-mayor-bill-de-blasio-and-schools-chancellor-richard-carranza-say-no-to-mayor-bill-de-blasio-s-plan-to-reopen-school-buildings-in-september 🔥🙏🏽✊🏼🔥 (at Bronx, NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuDlLOg8zU/?igshid=1to3rqkuvsezs

So I didn't have a fancy sign or a witty shirt and I didn't get to go to the statehouse today, but I still wore my red for ed today. Indiana ranks 50th for teacher raises since 2002. It is expected that charter schools will be given a funding increase of 20% while public schools will be given an increase of 2%. Indiana ranks 37th in teacher's salaries. Oh and teachers are now required to complete an unpaid "externship" in order to renew our licenses. Teaching is hard enough without worrying about how you are going to make ends meet or how you are going to be spending even more time on professional development. Think about your favorite teachers and students. Don't they deserve better than this?
