SFUSD students learned more about solidarity, power, and love this week from UESF and all who supported them than they could possibly have learned in school for the week.
Thank you educators for showing the way 🙏

Educators in San Francisco are doing everything they can for their students, even as classrooms are stretched thin. SFUSD needs to step up with real investments in staffing and pay. Solidarity with UESF educators fighting for the great schools our children deserve.

"Instead of siphoning tax dollars out of our classrooms & into a savings account, our #SFUSD needs to invest in fully staffed classrooms & fully funded schools. Our schools are in the wealthiest city in the world’s 4th largest economy & administration should not be scrimping on students’ futures."

San Francisco educators are on their 4th day of a strike.
Wages, healthcare, & special education remain major issues.
Teachers are out across the city, picketing. Aimed at Superintendent Maria Su, some sang "Hey Su" in the Beatles' style.

In the past week, the Oaklandside has reported: “One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did.”
This is clearly a broken system in need of reform.

🗞️ NEW: One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
“It strains credulity,” said Lindheim. “Ultimately, I don’t think there are enough hours in the day to bill this much overtime…. It doesn’t seem to pass the laugh test.”

One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?
