We are:

• certificated and classified school staff and political activists. 

• union representatives and rank and file members

• a diverse group of people with strong connections to our communities

We believe:

• Union power manifests primarily in the organizing activities of empowered rank-and-file members.

• Our unions are strongest when members take collective action to solve problems in the workplace and fight for justice for our schools and society.

• activities of empowered rank-and-file members

• teachers need and deserve academic freedom to perform their job well

• education related organizations should be democratically run by members freely voicing a diversity of opinions

• school staff works best using unscripted collaboration towards shared goals

• Peer Assisted Review in Berkeley has served to harass and intimidate teachers, while not necessarily improving their practice

We work to:

• guide, support, and protect staff and students

• create a participatory, democratic, social justice movement in our unions and communities

• build solidarity with educators, students, families, and activists in our communities taking action to improve our public schools
