The Waukegan, IL teachers have been on strike since October 2nd. The Board of Ed that they're dealing with has not sent any actual Board members to the table. They canceled teachers' health insurance, even for teachers with catastrophic illnesses. This could be a long strike and these dedicated educators need your help.

Please sign this petition. The signatures will go directly into the Board members' inboxes.
