Oakland Unified School District is filled with overcrowded classrooms, unsafe caseloads for support staff, and underpaid educators. Meanwhile OUSD is spending far more than comparable school districts on administration and consultants. They've got their priorities backwards. Oakland students deserve better, and teachers are ready to fight to change these realities! They are prepared to strike for the schools that Oakland students deserve.

Oakland educators are fighting for smaller class sizes, more support for students, and a living wage for teachers. And we can make a HUGE difference by showing that the community has their back. The more of us join the picket line and show OUSD that we will fight alongside our teachers for the public school system that ALL students deserve, the sooner we can win these demands and end the strike.

There will be picket lines at all 86 school sites, and they will need folks to join them at all times of day. Picketing is fun, inspiring, and incredibly important (totally fine if you've never done it before!). Let us know when/where you are available to join the picket line, and we will connect you and make sure you have what you need. Or if you want to support the strike in other ways, you can fill out Oakland Education Association's general volunteer form here (and find out more about the strike here).

(P.S: if you're an educator at a school outside of OUSD and would like to 'adopt' a striking school, sign up here / if you represent a group or org that would like to be picket partners with a specific school, sign up here)

(P.P.S. Donate to Bread for Ed to help feed students and teachers during the strike!)
