Minneapolis students speak out against the school board’s plan for an extended school day.

Yesterday, we rallied downtown for safe and stable schools. We're still fighting and working towards a contract that works for students, families, and educators. https://t.co/fuV8Ge4SY2

The time is now to invest in public education. I am proud to stand with @MFT59 educators who are on strike for decent pay and better working conditions.
