Tacoma School District educators are still on strike, and are holding a public rally this Thursday. Members of the Tacoma Federation of ParaEducators have stood by them on the strike line. TFP members have also spoken out about the low wages they receive. It's time the administration at Tacoma Public Schools pays living-wage salaries that show they value and respect their employees, both classified and certificated.

This Thursday, 9/13, at 3:30 PM, they are hosting a big rally and would love to have a show of solidarity from other unions and organizations. Wear your union colors. Peoples Park: 900 MLK Jr. Way, Tacoma, WA 98405. Bring your family!

Please RSVP if you're planning to attend so we can have enough t-shirts for everyone. For more information, contact Bob Downing, AFT Project Organizer, at bdowning@aftwa.org or 206-465-2558.

In Unity,

Karen Strickland, President
