Dear Friend,

Teachers across the country are going to be forced to risk their health this fall as they are compelled to return to work amidst rising coronavirus cases across the country. DC Jobs with Justice stands with our allies at the Washington Teachers Union (WTU) as they call for our schools to reopen only when it is safe. We must prioritize the health of  our students, our teachers and our communities.

That is why we are asking you to join WTU for #OnlyWhenItsSafe WTU July Events. Together we will push school leaders to make community informed decisions regarding schools in DC.

#OnlyWhenItsSafe WTU July Events!

Sunday, July 19th 3-4:30pm: "Reopen #OnlyWhenItsSafe Virtual Town Hall"- DC Educators, Union Leaders, Community Leaders, and Families will gather to share how Covid has affected our lives. We will voice our needs, share information, and strategies for what schools need to do to keep all of us safe.

Join us on Zoom:

When: This Sunday Jul 19 at 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
