Public Meeting and Discussion

The Oakland Teachers are in the middle of a heroic strike to improve conditions in the classroom and to win a living wage that would allow them to stay in the city. The support in the community is incredibly high, with with an average of less than 5% of students attending school. Even still, the Oakland school district is determined to push forward their plan of closing and charterizing public schools.

Join us to discuss the strike and how to move forward!
