Socialists support school workers! Join DSA-LA as we show up for UTLA and SEIU99 workers as they rally at Los Angeles State Historic Park!

DSA-LA is proud to support workers and unions in LA fighting for their rights and to protect their communities! After showing up with over 2,000 free tacos at the UNITED FOR LA RALLY on March 15th, and hot coffee and empanadas to picket lines across our city, our members are ready to keep showing our solidarity! Come join us!

Thanks to contributions from across the country and across the globe, we're excited to provide free tacos to attendees! If you can help contribute to our fund, the more we can fundraise, the more tacos we can give out!


SEIU 99 represents 30,000 LAUSD workers who sell their labor at schools, colleges, and child care centers as teachers’ assistants, playground workers, special education assistants, bus drivers, gardeners, custodians, cafeteria workers, maintenance workers, administrators and early care and education workers.

Despite the Los Angeles Unified School District having a budget of nearly $13.5 billion – the largest school budget in the nation – essential school workers struggle to support their own families on low-wage, part-time jobs. The average annual income of non-teacher school employees is $25,000, which is far below the California Poverty Measure line of $36,900/year for a family of four. That's why they're on strike, demanding fair pay for fair work!

They're joined on the picket line by UTLA, the labor union for more than 35,000 public school educators in Los Angeles. Negotiating a contract of their own, they're going forces to to fight for the needs of our classrooms and communities. They're demanding fair pay raises to attract and retain educators, smaller class sizes, mental health support for students, equitable access to technology, safe school climates, and so much more.
