Today is day 3 of the Columbus Teacher strike. Today is the first day kids are supposed to be back. District went virtual to make it easier to try to get subs to scab. Last we heard they had less than 200 subs on the roster to replace the 4.5k teachers out 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Today there are thousands of educators across the city picketing outside of schools.

It’s amazing to witness workers struggle together to improve their lives. It’s especially amazing to witness this level of militancy over demands that are primarily about student learning.

Last night a meeting of over 3,000 public school educators in Columbus, OH authorized a strike. The last time CEA struck was in 1975. Primary issues are heat and A/C in the school and class sized.

If we want to retain good teachers, I don't understand why we wouldn't just listen to the teachers we're trying to retain. They've been pretty clear on what they need: so let's give them better raises, restore Masters pay, and fund teacher assistants.

"We're on the move. And we're going to keep moving. We're going to get respect so we can do our jobs to support our students."

Yes! Such powerful words from Demetria Harvey, leader of the Safety Assistant Organizing Committee here in Wake County.

Why the fuck are you tweeting about #NC04 and @NidaAllam when you refused to endorse her?

[J Street @jstreetdotorg]

United Democracy Project (AIPAC) & DMFI have spent $2.9+ mil in #NC01 to defeat Erica Smith, $2.4+ mil in #NC04 to defeat Nida Allam and $3+ mil in #PA12 to defeat Summer Lee. It makes them them BIGGEST player in each race, spending more than the leading candidates COMBINED. 2/5
