> *An intimate, inspiring memoir by educator and labor union leader Karen
> Lewis, a formidable fighter, a staunch defender of teachers and students,
> and a beloved Chicagoan.*
>
> In 2012, Karen Lewis led the Chicago Teachers Union to a historic strike,
> challenging the city’s powerful mayor and paving the way for an
> unprecedented wave of teacher strikes in the decade that followed.
>
> But Lewis’s life took her in rich and surprising directions long before
> she landed in the CTU President’s office. *I Didn’t Come Here to Lie*,
> written in collaboration with historian and education expert Elizabeth
> Todd-Breland, tells Lewis’s story in full for the first time, capturing her
> lively wit, her charisma, and her commitment to building the schools and
> communities teachers, students, and families deserve.
>
> From her childhood on Chicago’s South Side to her teen years organizing
> Black Power walkouts, from her education at Mount Holyoke and Dartmouth to
> her years in Oklahoma and Barbados and her stints in medical school and
> film school, readers follow Lewis through a life full of exploration.
> Wherever she was, she maintained a strong commitment to building fairness.
> She found her calling in the classroom, teaching science for more than
> twenty years before becoming a union leader in Chicago.
>
> Up until her untimely death from brain cancer in 2021, Karen Lewis was
> spirited, unshakeable, and fierce. She remains a model for current
> organizers and teachers doing the day-to-day work of building a better
> world. *I Didn’t Come Here to Lie *is a testament to one of the true
> revolutionaries of her generation.

> April is Sexual Assault Action Month (SAAM)!
>
> The purpose of CARE's annual Sexual Assault Action Month (SAAM) campaign
> is to increase the Northwestern community's understanding of the roots and
> impacts of sexual assault, to motivate all community members to contribute
> to prevention and survivor support, and to foster connection and healing
> for sexual assault survivors. It's important for us to remain involved in
> prevention and to support survivors year-round, but April provides a
> dedicated time for us to center these important issues.

> For more information on the history of SAAM, you can check out the *National
> Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) here.

> The 2025 theme for Sexual Assault Action Month is Collective Action,
> Collective Care. This year marks the April following the official merger of
> CARE with Northwestern’s Health Promotion and Wellness (HPaW) office.
> CAREHPAW’s combined mission is providing outreach and education around
> holistic wellness through a lens of prevention, harm reduction, and
> survivor-centeredness in order to cultivate communities of care on campus.
> This April we will focus on co-creating spaces of mutual support,
> collective action, and shared learning for survivors and all people who
> have been impacted by sexual harm with the understanding that work toward
> healing and well-being is always communal.

> *Constructive Conflict: Skills for Having Hard Conversations* is a
> workshop that delves into the importance of conflict as a crucial element
> of communication, while exploring the opportunities that conflict can give
> us. Many of us have grown up learning that conflict is a negative
> experience and one that should generally be avoided. In this workshop,
> we'll learning how to distinguish between being uncomfortable and being
> unsafe, what conflict can indicate about the depth and importance of a
> relationship, and how to productively engage in conflict with colleagues
> and move forward together afterwards.

> Tribe of Pottawatomi/Ottawa), *Nora Moore Lloyd *(Lac Courte Oreilles
> Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), and *Jason Wesaw *(Pokagon Band of
> Potawatomi) —*Woven Being* explores confluences that continue to shape
> Indigenous creative practices in the region and beyond.

> Chicagoland is the traditional homeland of the people of the Council of
> Three Fires— the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa—as well as the Menominee,
> Miami, Ho-Chunk, Sac, Fox, Kickapoo, and Illinois nations. It has been a
> longstanding cultural and economic hub for Indigenous peoples and continues
> to be today. People from many Indigenous nations call the region home, and
> the city of Chicago has the third-largest urban Indigenous population in
> the United States. The richness of Indigenous experiences and contributions
> are often excluded from Chicago’s art histories. *Woven Being* counters
> this by centering the ideas, choices, and voices of Indigenous artists
