Oklahoma Teachers

We are teachers taking a stand. We seek funding for better schools and wages that will recruit, retain, and inspire the best teachers. #LastResortOK

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

It's time to let our voices be heard. It's time to end the denigration and degredation of our public schools. It's time to pay a living wage to our teachers, allowing us to recruit and retain only the best in the profession. Today, #WeMarch. #OklaEd #TulsaTeachers #LastResortOK https://t.co/bFjjyCPU2V

Teachers coming to OKC tonight/tomorrow:

@BackDoorBBQ is offering you 20% off your meal.
@EmpireSliceOKC offering you free salad/slice/drink.
@Mazzios offering you a free buffet.

If there are more specials, add them here. This legislator is happy you’re coming to town! #oklaed

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

So proud of our kids. They seem to understand what's going on even more than our legislators! A big thank you to the students and parents for being so supportive in this process. Always remember, at the end of the day this is all about you. #OklaEd #LastResortOK #TulsaTeachers https://t.co/rhZjtH68vr

[Rick Smith @RickSmithShow]

@kevineaton1 @Lin_Manuel @hansonmusic @theflaminglips @carrieunderwood @garthbrooks @tobykeith @blakeshelton @folkslinger @VGcom Given the short timeframe on this I'd say all genres are on the table! We'll start paring them down once we get a better feel for the responses- we may even run several venues at once, so we could have punk at one stage and country at another. We'll know more later this week!

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

Alright, what a week! Things are moving swiftly towards strike day; we had an organizational meeting today, laying the groundwork for our roles in the months to come. That said, I'm excited to announce that we're working on a concert for awareness! #LastResortOK #OklaEd

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

Please tweet some encouragement to @Lin_Manuel, @hansonmusic, @theflaminglips, @carrieunderwood, @garthbrooks, @tobykeith, @blakeshelton, @folkslinger (Arlo Guthrie), @VGcom (Vince Gill), and anyone else you may want to see! Be sure you use #RockOutTheWalkOut with your request!

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

Today, we met with a major concert promoter who's helping us plan a concert to bring awareness to our cause. What we need from YOU is some help filling the stage! We've reached out to some national (and local) entertainers, but they need to see some support from you as well!

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

We're excited that the nation is waking up to the necessity of funding education- not just in #Oklahoma but in #WestVirginia, #Arizona, and #Kentucky as well. Teachers, now is the time for our voices to be heard. #solidarity #LastResortOK #OklaEd #TeacherStrike #OklahomaTeachers https://t.co/dp7Amof5hU

Hi I'm a reporter looking to hear from #Oklahomateachers about current conditions in schools, daily life, and your feelings toward a strike. Teachers and school workers, please DM me! @TeacherOklahoma #Oklahoma

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

Great conversation on the @RickSmithShow with teacher Larry Cagle about how we got here. If the school system isn't funded, schools fail. If schools fail, private/charter schools profit. The old adage holds - follow the money #LastResortOK #solidarity #teacherstrike #OklaEd https://t.co/bNVJLzEyTw

[Rick Smith @RickSmithShow]

When you underfund a school system by deliberately keeping teacher salaries down, you help cause the school to fail.

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

For us #OklahomaTeachers it's back to work. Here's the deal- we're meeting tomorrow with OKC for a vote, which will be announced Friday. We have stories coming out in local and national media outlets this week, so be on the lookout! #LastResortOK #teacherstrike #solidarity

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

We'd also like to give a big shout out to WV teachers on the conclusion of their successful strike! CONGRATULATIONS! #solidarity #teacherstrike #shutitdown #OklaEd #LastResortOK

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

I can assure you that every penny donated is going to the strike in one way or another. Reaching out to teachers, protecting teachers, and helping teachers once we're there. If you don't wish to contribute at this point, I'm sure other funds will appear later. It all helps.

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

We had some comments on the strike fund, and I'd like to clear a few things up - this initial gofundme is for spreading the word and protecting the teachers going public with this. Not being a strike organizer, I wasn't attempting to mislead with the "strike fund" terminology.

[Oklahoma City DSA @okcDSA]

Oklahoma City DSA stands in solidarity with all of the teachers in Oklahoma and elsewhere who for too long have been underpaid and undervalued for the crucial work they do. To stay informed, follow @TeacherOklahoma #solidarity #teacherstrike #LastResortOK #OklaEd #shutitdown

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

@shellbelle @cvian87 We're working on this as we speak (to all you students watching, yes, your teachers do stay up late for you). We've had recent sparked enthusiasm and are working on riding this wave and finding as many outlets to reach teachers as possible. Thanks for your support! Stay in touch

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

Your wish is my command -

This fund will help market this event to be sure every teacher in the state is aware of what's going on and how they can help, helps provide legal support to our team, and aids in supplies needed during the strike. #LastResortOK https://t.co/0nT1LAsWEk

[Daniel Baryon @AnarkYouTube]

@TeacherOklahoma Show me the strike fund, watch money appear.

[Oklahoma Teachers @TeacherOklahoma]

America is remembering how to fight for what is right. We're rallying not just for ourselves, but for our state and country. Stay strong, WV. We're all in this together. #55strong #solidarity #shutitdown #Tulsa #oklaed #teacherstrike https://t.co/yUFAgFWGC2
