LAUSD Strike Still On

[toastykitten]

Hi everyone,

The strike is still on. There's a rally and march from city hall to LAUSD headquarters Tuesday.

There will be a sympathy strike from some of the other unions to show support for teachers. Check here for the list of participating schools.

Things to do:

1. Some of the teachers have gotten ill from marching so much in the rain. Emergen-C packets, hot tea, etc is appreciated.
2. Contact the board and demand a fair contract for the teachers.
3. Contact the other members of our government - Newsom, Harris, Feinstein, etc and tell them you want a fair contract. Feinstein, as far as I know, has said nothing about the strike.
4. Support the teachers by helping them picket at their schools. Tuesdays are short days for a lot of schools so they may not make it back in time for the after-school picketing.
5. Support anyone who needs childcare, if you're able.
6. Reiterate to concerned parents that schools cannot retaliate against students for participating in the strike.

Oakland teachers are gearing up to strike.
Denver teachers might go on strike, too.
