"Please, remember how important teachers are. Acknowledge the work they do every day, and for the love of God, pay them the money they deserve." - Quinta Brunson on #SNL
Another #Latina harassed and murdered at Fort Hood. The ‘investigations’ did not stop the killings. Ana Fernanda Basaldua Ruiz was 20 years old.

If teachers and school staff only did what they are contracted to do and ONLY worked the hours that they are paid to work— every school would have to shut down because it wouldn’t be able to function.
Help us pass House Bill 1548.
Call your legislator today and demand a $15,000 pay raise for all Texas teachers!

When I was a public school teacher, I struggled to make ends meet.
40% of Texas teachers work a second job. Thousands are leaving the profession to find work that can pay the bills.
Today I’m introducing legislation to give every teacher in Texas a $15,000 pay raise. #txlege
The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson
Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.
Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.
His crime—asking police for help.
