The educators at my school are going on strike to fight for the schools our students and staff deserve. This decision was not made lightly, but the district has given us no other option for a fair contract. Many of our staff will face significant financial hardship due to losing their wages during the strike, and we want to make sure they are supported during this challenging time.

Our educators are incredibly committed to our students, families, and schools. They are only engaging in this fight to improve conditions for everyone in our community. The funds raised through this campaign will help cover essential expenses like rent, groceries, childcare costs, and bills for educators who lose wages during the strike. By supporting our educators, you are helping them continue their advocacy for the public schools that San Francisco families and students deserve.

When the district will not support its workers, we need to take care of each other ourselves. Please consider donating to help our educators through this difficult period. Your support will make a real difference and ensure that our teachers can keep fighting for the schools our community needs.

I am also a staff member at June Jordan School for Equity and a union member on strike. I will be paying out any funds raised here to our colleagues, prioritizing our paras and classified staff who are experiencing the greatest need. Any funds raised will go directly into the pockets of our beloved June Jordan staff to help them cover their essential needs.
