Locally we see our school board failing to lead, dissolving into in-fighting while the state government threatens a devastating takeover. So what are Memphis teachers going to do?

We're a small-but-mighty group of local educators in MMDSA looking to connect with teachers and other educators in the Memphis and West Tennessee public schools (including charters) to study recent teacher movements in red states and blue cities as the foundation for organizing our own teacher-powered movement
