End: Tuesday, March 25, 202508:30 PM

What were the lessons of the 2019 teacher strike wave, both in LA and across the US? What special leverage do educators have when they strike? How can a teacher strike benefit the whole working class?

Join us for the second session of our Class War in the Classroom Night School series to discuss the power of teachers strikes. This political discussion is open to everyone who wants to learn and organize, regardless of experience. Come hear from and talk strategy with education workers and activists as we fight for schools that work for the many, not the few.
