Oakland’s teachers, students, & families begin their historic strike to save our public schools this Thursday – and they need your help!
EBASE is proud to stand with Oakland Education Association and do our part to #Unite4OaklandKids. Here's how you can support these brave teachers & students!
*Donate to the Teachers' Strike Fund: www.gofundme.com/striking-oakland-teachers
*Donate to Bread for Ed to feed students and teachers: donorbox.org/breadfored
*Join us on the picket line! EBASE has agreed to be a Picket Partner for McClymonds High School in West Oakland (2607 Myrtle St, Oakland), where our staff will be taking shifts on the picket line. Come through!
*For additional ways to help, see: bayresistance.org/strikeready-how-we-can-support-oakland-teachers-and-students/.
Our partners at the Faith Alliance for a Moral Economy - FAME are also mobilizing faith leaders and congregations to provide material support to teachers and families, and to activate faith leaders to join the picket lines. To get involved in our interfaith efforts to support the strike, contact Kristi Laughlin, kristi@workingeastbay.org.
The stakes are high. Schools are the cornerstones of our communities and the roots of our neighborhoods. They foster learning and justice, and nurture our future.
Yet public education is under attack in Oakland and across the country. Our schools are underfunded and overcrowded, and our teachers are so underpaid they can no longer afford to live in the Bay Area. The Oakland Unified School District is threatening to close 24 neighborhood schools, all of which are in the flatlands of East and West Oakland.
Left with no other option, Oakland’s teachers are #StrikeReady. They are demanding:
*Smaller class sizes⠀
*More student support and services
*A living wage⠀
*Keep our neighborhood schools open⠀
What’s happening in Oakland is part of a wave of teachers’ strikes that have riveted the nation. Oakland’s teachers are joining their counterparts in Los Angeles, Denver and across the country who are standing up and fighting for our future.
They are on the front-lines of the struggle for public education and for a more just economy. And they are showing us that when we fight, we win!
Let’s show them our support every way we can! ... See MoreSee Less
