Chicago Freedom School is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization founded in 2007.[1].[2] In 2020, the school filed a lawsuit with the City of Chicago, <redacted> during the George Floyd protests in May 2020. The city agreed to settle the lawsuit out of court in July 2020.[3] This episode was recounted by writer and organizer Mariame Kaba in her 2023 book, Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care. In 2023, the school was one of the organizers of a youth-led town hall for the city's mayoral candidates.[4] The school has provided professional development training to Student Voice Committee facilitators at Chicago Public Schools.[5]
