The billionaire privatizers that bought the Oakland School Board want to see 24 of Oaklands 86 public schools closed in the next year and inevitably reopened as charters. We will not let that happen. Tune in on Sunday at 6pm for a bargaining update. #Unite4OaklandKids

Mendez HS showing Oakland some love this morning! OEA teachers are on the picket lines for same reasons UTLA went on strike, including ballooning class sizes, declining resources for students, & increased efforts to privatize schools. When we fight, we win! #Unite4Oaklandkids
