I am a teacher and you want to arm me? The NRA says the answer to stop school shootings is more guns. But we say, arm us with more resources not more guns. @mcricrke @NRA

Today is the beginning of a new day for our students! We're on strike because our students and our classrooms cannot wait any longer. We cannot continue on without the nurses, counselors, and librarians our students need. #WeAreLA #LAUSDStrike

Bloomfield and his cronies are funding millions in propaganda against LA and our communities. They have become the charter corporations' biggest funders and are looking to destroy public education. This Super Tuesday vote with the teachers' choice! #WeArePublicSchools

This is our moment. This is our movement. Solidarity is pouring in, from Los Angeles to London, from Palms to Puerto Rico. Tomorrow. The dedication & passion educators bring every day to the classroom, will be brought to the streets to demand the #schoolsourstudentsdeserve !
