Sen. Elizabeth Warren lent her voice to teachers striking in Chicago on Tuesday, addressing a rally of teachers as they called for smaller class sizes and better pay.
"I’m here to stand for everyone one of the people who stand for our children every day. Everyone in America should support you in this strike, and the reason is when you go out to fight you don’t fight for yourselves: you fight for the children of this city and the children of this country," Warren said.
"The eyes of this nation are on you... for you to show how the power of standing together is the power of making real change in this country," the Democratic presidential candidate said.
Warren’s appearance in Chicago comes as the strike reaches its sixth day, and the third school day where teachers were not in classrooms.
"I believe in public education and I believe it is time in America to make a new investment in public education and I've got a plan for that," Warren said.
