As educators and scholars in colleges and universities in the Chicago area, we come together to offer our enthusiastic support for Brandon Johnson for Mayor of Chicago. As scholars, we know the ways that opportunities for economic security and intellectual and creative development have been shared far too narrowly in our city. Too few have access to higher education and the opportunities it affords. Too many teachers in the higher education system are themselves precariously employed. Too few Chicagoans have a voice in how the higher education system operates. And those who do gain access often come under heavy burdens of debt and insecurity. Brandon Johnson has stood with faculty on the picket line and with
students at all levels seeking quality education. He will fight to democratize the city college system and use it to expand opportunities for students to attend college and pursue their dreams and serve their communities—as nurses, artists, social workers, teachers, social workers, or wherever else their education takes them. Higher education is a powerful lever to create a more livable and equal city. Only Brandon Johnson will invest in our higher education system to seize that opportunity. We support Brandon’s 12 point plan for Education Justice. The plan can be found here: https://www.brandonforchicago.com/issues/education It is an investment in Chicago’s youth and in our city’s future.
