Build Our Power is a caucus in OEA. We believe in organizing for power within our union & with our community. Together we can win the Schools Oakland Deserves.
We did it.
But we didn’t do it alone. It took each and every one of you, your humanity, your compassion and your commitment. More importantly, it took your desire to see change in how educators lead.
