LA educators today are standing together with the community to fight for smaller class sizes, more counselors and librarians, fair wages and a quality education for every student in LAUSD. Striking is always a last resort and it takes extraordinary courage to risk everything to do what’s right.

That’s exactly what more than 30,000 United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) educators are doing today. In the largest California strike in years, these educators are taking a stand for their students, parents, the community and the entire labor movement.

The California Labor movement stands with these brave educators as they walk the line for justice today. We’ll have their backs every single day until they get a fair contract. When we stand together, we win!
