***One way to show your support & solidarity for REA

Please use this link to email all board members and the superintendent to settle a fair contract. A template letter goes to all 8 of them.

It’s not even the words that are sent…it’s showing the numbers of people that support our teachers that matter the most.

Please share the link with every brother, sister, mother, father, friend, parent, student, community member, business owner, politician, neighbor, ally, and union member you know!

Thank you to all in support of a FAIR CONTRACT NOW!

Fair contract now!

In the event that San Francisco public school teachers walk off the job on Monday, principals and administrators announced today that they will strike in solidarity. ⁠
⁠
In addition to principals and administrators, the clerks and custodians represented by the SEIU 1021 union have also authorized a sympathy strike.⁠
⁠
Superintendent Maria Su today announced that in the event of a strike on Monday, all school sites will close. ⁠
⁠
An SFUSD communique said that, on Thursday evening, the district’s bargaining team offered two options for health benefits, neither of which are fully funded, in addition to an offer of a six percent raise over the course of three years. The union refused this offer. ⁠
