Because our students’ learning conditions are our working conditions, it is not enough to simply bargain for increased wages and better benefits. As educators, we know that our schools do not exist in a vacuum, and that we must think about the broader community.

We work together with members of the community – including parents – to set an agenda for our elected leaders. We have fought for a more transparent, engaged school board, pushed our corporate and nonprofit neighbors to pay their fair share to support our public schools, and worked with our friends and allies to build coalitions that can work with elected officials to shape education policy.

Join our Committee on Political Engagement (COPE) today by contributing monthly to fight for the public schools our students deserve.
