Our aim is to bring together teacher activists internationally by sharing their struggles and building solidarity, from below.

#Solidarity!

[Lois L. Weiner @drloisweiner]

As poor as US media coverage is of US teachers' strikes, it's even worse about teachers' labor activism globally. Did you know teachers in Romania have been on strike? https://t.co/cQCnheuxcz

Palestinian teachers waged their biggest strike in years. No US media coverage. Here's the story: https://t.co/iOXfmv3ZfU #Palestinians

[Lois L. Weiner @drloisweiner]

Same globally. Difference is how/whether national unions mobilize members to protect the profession, public education, students.

Plaster falling from ceilings in DC classrooms; no heat in classrooms in Cordoba, Spain. In the global North, which has huge wealth and inadequate political force to make it used for people who created it.

Lots of ferment with education workers internationally, with little coverage by media. Why?

My remarks at the @NEUnion workshop for academy activists will draw on political work, #research Mary Compton, former NUT prez, posted on https://t.co/gU53XNqSuQ. It's still relevant though there's a new, more toxic formula to destroy teaching as a career.

@eduint @ponorgua @IntlFromBelow @amnestyusa It's good to hear EI supports this principle. Please RT your condemnation of Biden/ US policy in regard to Haitian refugees: https://t.co/NBLf0vqGz2

Looks like a brilliant conference. Dehumanizing students, teachers, education is a global problem. Hope #teachers #Unions are discussed as part of the solution.

[Lois L. Weiner @drloisweiner]

Definitely a convo K-12, college educators need: (Virtual) Conference to Restore Humanity, July 25-28, international scope. Centering our humanity, #socialjustice in #education:

Pushing unregulated charters is a global phenomenon, pushed by the Right. @cyclingkev explains the UK's push to make all schools into charters/academies: https://t.co/XP4eojm42J @DrPrestonGreen

Students are occupying the main hall of Wills Memorial building in solidarity with striking University of Bristol staff. They are prepared with food and sleeping bags to stay "as long as possible."

#solidarity. 15,000 signed petition about conditions of #teachers in @France. Lousy politician threw it in the trash w/o even letting the #education committee see it. @OaklandEA @J4J_USA @drloisweiner @arabfrenglish

[Teacher Solidarity @TeachSolidarity]

After some technical problems, the website is up again. It has a tremendous archive about attacks on public education and resistance by teachers, students, parents, and unions globally. Take a look if you haven't seen it: https://t.co/dcmQnja0In

[Teacher Solidarity @TeachSolidarity]

Good! Better: AFT, NEA, and the EI, which they dominate, oppose global standardized measures for student learning: https://t.co/brJ88O3lmK

[Lois L. Weiner @drloisweiner]

Thread. Good to see broader public understand what's been happening in edpolicy. Better: Note this goes well beyond the GOP, is a global project. Best: Note that it's being reinvented under our noses with use of #edtech, accelerated by the pandemic.
