@kmcgair @citizen_oregon @Juliewangpdx @pdxteachers @PPSConnect @jrlsilverman You haven’t seen “lashing out.” Telling the truth about very specific circumstances that very few ppl actually know the truth about is not lashing out. Byyyyyye Ed3!

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@kmcgair @pdxteachers @PPSConnect @jrlsilverman Respectfully disagree. If you think “King Hollands” being in Aruba for the last 10 days leading up to the strike had no impact on negotiations that’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion. The fact he took a 2nd vacation, actually DURING the strike speaks for itself.

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@Juliewangpdx PPS Board rejected that student leader’s suggestion. As usual, their “I hear you” to students and teachers alike is performative

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@citizen_oregon @Juliewangpdx @kmcgair @pdxteachers @PPSConnect @jrlsilverman I’m disappointed you showed up to picket lines & harassed educators. ED300 should change their name to ED3, because there are 3 of y’all always harassing public educators. The vast majority of parents do not agree with your propaganda, sir.

@westcoast4me @maccoinnich @amyliztweets @theoregonian Ángela & I have been doxxed, received hate mail, had our office tagged up, all types of 💩. We just chose to not publicly whine about it & blame the school board

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@Juliewangpdx @kmcgair @pdxteachers @PPSConnect @jrlsilverman Oh the white man who was bargaining chair for over a decade? Yes, he resigned. Could it be that he doesn’t know how to work with a group of dynamic women & people of color? I have nothing to hide. If he wants thinks he can do better, I encourage him to run for leadership

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@westcoast4me @SEAsheltie @maccoinnich @amyliztweets @theoregonian Gary Hollands also failed to share that he was in Aruba for the last 10 days leading up to the strike-NOT at the table. He then took ANOTHER vacation last wk. GG & Genevieve-Supt. & PPS Lead Labor Relations also took vacations during the strike. Real dedication there

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@westcoast4me @SEAsheltie @maccoinnich @amyliztweets @theoregonian The “unanimous rejection” were words straight from Supt. Guadalupe Guerrero’s mouth. Angry mob?! Please! Elected officials have groups of peaceful protesters show up outside their homes regularly. It comes with the territory! It happens regularly! Do u see Merkley crying?

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@jrlsilverman And if they do, let it stand for the record, that during negotiations, PAT suggested the same exact thing student leaders did AND asked the board to consider the student survey, but they refused. ONLY when they are public ally shamed by students will they consider it.

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@SEAsheltie @maccoinnich @amyliztweets Great question! He doesn’t! He’s lying, again. Sure would be nice if any of these anti-teacher “journalists” for @theoregonian would ask for proof of his false claims! He also took 2 vacations (totally 2 wks) in the past month, during the final hour of negotiations & the strike

Moment of silence on the Burnside Bridge this morning. @pdxteachers reclaiming OUR schools & OUR city

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I stand with @pdxteachers and the teachers in Portland, Oregon who are fighting for better working conditions and the school support they need to provide the education our students deserve. We must protect teachers' right to stand up for themselves and their students.

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

@DrJenLincoln @arianenoel @JonGarc1a @pdxteachers @PPSConnect Yes, thousands of parents are upset, and showing up supporting our picket lines & taking actions like bringing food to picket lines, marching with us, writing school board members & signing this https://t.co/hTsziDjDC0

@PNW_Dad_Bod ❤️🌟❤️ for teachers!

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

For the first time after nearly a full year of negotiations, @PPSConnect school board members showed up to the bargaining table! Thank you to the 10,000 Portland residents who sent over 50,000 messages to school board members today! #patcommunity

[Jacque Dixon @JacqueRoseBent]

I am so proud of our PAT educators & community! Today, we knocked on 10,000 doors asking Portland residents to demand @PPSConnect school board members to show up to the bargaining table with us! It worked!!
