Supporters of public schools in Virginia will be car-pooling to join the weekly protest at the North Carolina state Capitol called Moral Monday. If you can be there to support public schools, to oppose budget cuts and privatization, please join them.
This comes from Rachel Levy in Virginia:
“There is going to be a big Moral Monday event in support of public education & in protest of education cuts in NC: http://www.ncae.org/whats-new/moral-monday-protest-walk-join-us/
The VEA in neighboring Virginia will be hosting car pools to the event. From the VEA: “car pools are forming at VEA headquarters, 116 South 3rd Street, Richmond, at 11:15 am for a noon departure. The rally is being organized to protest steep cuts to North Carolina public education. The North Carolina Association of Educators HQ, the pre-rally meeting spot, is at 700 South Salisbury St. NCAE asks that you wear RED. Get more information at http://www.ncae.org.”

Good for VEA and anyone in Virginia who supports North Carolina. That is what I think we are going to have to do; support each other.
Thank you Virgina.
ditto, thanks VA
Virginia teachers will also be heading to Raleigh from SWVA,Central VA, and other areas as well. We understand what our sisters and brothers in NC are going through. We also know that we are just one or two political offices away from being in exactly the same boat.
It’s time we stand up for all students and educators in the country. We cannot just be focused on our own issues because its coming to your state soon if its not there already.
Support and solidarity. Just wish I could be there in person.
Any chance the same support will go to DEMOCRATIC run states, perhaps IL…where Chicago city schools have failed its children for decades?
Probably not, how bad can these schools be…after all the teachers are unionized, so the Hell with the kids..
Ajbruno, do nonunion states get better outcomes? No.
