Friend,

“Teachers have found their power and won’t go down without a fight,” proclaims the newly released Strike for the Common Good: Fighting for the Future of Public Education ([link removed][UNIQID]) that delves into everything from the Black Lives Matter movement and its impact on schools to fighting for fair pay.

Join the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) this afternoon to hear from the voices behind Strike for the Common Good. ([link removed][UNIQID])

Today's webinar will delve into education and union power in a new age of labor activism—including online organizing, anti-austerity movements, and pushing for racial justice in the classroom. Hear from Rebecca Kolins Givan, co-editor of Strike for the Common Good, as well as Jesse Hagopian, an educator and racial justice activist, who will share his story of direct action and organizing in Seattle. EPI Research Associate Sylvia Allegretto will discuss what workers can learn from teachers organizing and EPI Director of EARN Naomi Walker will moderate the discussion.
