John, educators
across the country right now are faced with an impossible decision.
Teachers are being asked to either risk the health and safety of
themselves and their students as in-person learning reopens — or face
potential backlash from the city leadership for demanding remote learning
options amidst the surge of COVID.
Just yesterday in Chicago, unionized teachers voted to move to remote
learning, and city leaders reacted by canceling classes and threatened to
withhold pay from teachers who decided not to return to classes. This is
not the kind of stress teachers should be experiencing during times like
these.
We need to continue uplifting our leaders who are dedicated to
prioritizing people over the institutions who put them at
risk. [ [link removed] ]John,
can you make a contribution to support my
efforts to continue fighting for teachers and students in NY-16 and all
over the country as they work to stay safe during the COVID surge?

NY-16 and communities like ours need a comprehensive plan to ensure that
all students and teachers are granted a safe place to learn and work. If
we want to safely reopen our public schools, our leaders need to mandate
testing, with the support of the federal government to create the volume
of tests we need to combat COVID.
From offering federal subsidies and centralizing PPE for educators to
implementing robust and wide scale testing to combat the spread of the
visus, itʼs crucial that we protect our teachers and students with
policies and leadership that center their safety. As an educator whose
spouse is also an educator, I know our firsthand experience with students
and our communities is all the knowledge we need to create safer and more
inclusive learning environments.

you stand with me in my fight to protect educators and students during the
surge of COVID, please consider supporting our movement with a donation of
any amount.
Peace and love,
Jamaal Bowman
P.S. In August 2020, I shared my recommendations to safely reopen schools
while we deal with the virus. In this plan, I outlined key steps our
leaders need to take if we want to ensure that all students and teachers
are safe as in person learning returns. [ [link removed] ]You can learn more about these
