Striking ain’t easy but we’ve all gotta do it

As you may know, all public schools in the entire state of West Virginia are closed due to a teachers strike. As you may not know, those teachers have a fund going to keep them up and running while the strike is ongoing. You can donate here to help support the fight, and hopefully help inspire others to follow and take back control of our own goddamn lives.

Update Feb 28:

Yesterday the teachers won a 5% pay raise, but with their state Healthcare plan still on the chopping block and worries that the 5% will just get eaten up by rising expenses, they’re still gonna be out on March 1 in all 55 counties, against the wishes of some state union officials. 

Donations are as helpful now as ever, but don’t let that be your only way of interacting with the strike! Raise awareness, make connections with teachers in your area, organize a force which will keep on rolling. We have nothing to lose but our paper-mache chains
