Stand for Oakland Teachers

Oakland teachers are fighting to end the teacher retention crisis and provide a great education for all our students. We’ve been working without a contract for 1.5 years, and since the Oakland Unified School District is refusing to meaningfully engage with our demands, we are preparing for a possible strike in early 2019.

Join Oakland teachers for our first neighborhood canvass to get the word out about our contract fight, and to give community members the opportunity to show their support. We’ll be going door to door with our support signs for people to post in their windows, and having conversations about all that’s at stake in this fight for the future of public education in our city.

MEET OUTSIDE OF THE GRAND LAKE THEATER AT 2PM! We will provide training, materials, water, and snacks.

Oakland knows that teacher working conditions are student learning conditions, and that our kids, teachers, staff, and families deserve more. Let’s give them the opportunity to show it!

We are fighting for a public education system that puts students first, and in order to win, we need our community to fight alongside us. OUSD spends extravagantly on consultants and administrators in their central office; yet when we say we need smaller class sizes, more student support, and a living wage for educators, they say the funding just isn’t there.

Join us in getting the word out and building support for our fight for the schools that Oakland students deserve!
