Dear Student Leaders of All City Council Student Union, Youth Together, California For Justice, Oakland Kids First, AYPAL, and REAL HARD,Thank you for standing with Oakland Educators in this fight for the schools Oakland students deserve.

To The Teachers of Oakland (from Alice Walker) — Dear Teachers of Oakland, I am honored to have been asked to speak to you today, or, in the event, to send you a message of solidarity and support. As many of you know, having read my work over the years (hopefully!) Teachers are some of my favorite people. I have a deep respect for you. A deep caring that you are treated fairly. That you are treated well.
We will win the schools our students deserve by staying united and keeping our picket lines strong. Parents, students, community: join us on picket lines each morning and afternoon, and at an 11:30am rally each day. #Unite4OaklandKids
