Despite Chicago’s tradition of\u00a0machine politics, a new wave of progressive politicians has swept into the body, challenging regressive tax policies,\u00a0increasing economic privatization, and cutbacks to both public education and services to low-income Chicagoans. One of\u00a0the leading voices of this growing movement is 10th Ward Alderwoman Susan Sadlowski Garza.<\/span><\/p>\n Alderwoman Garza will discuss her experiences as a community and labor activist on Chicago’s South Side, and how her\u00a0experiences have shaped her political beliefs and activities. Alderwoman Garza is a counselor at Jane Addams Elementary\u00a0School, and serves as an Area Vice President for the Chicago Teachers’ Union. She is also the proud daughter of a former\u00a0regional director of the United Steelworkers of America, a member of the Chicago Progressive Reform Caucus, and a life-long resident of the 10th Ward of Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n FREE lunch will be provided!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “We Got Somebody That Nobody Sent: A Conversation with Alderwoman Susan Sadlowski Garza” Co-sponsored by ILS, NLG, ACS, HLLSA, and LELS Wednesday, December 2, 2015 at 12:00pm Chicago-Kent College of…<\/p>\n
