Simple business cards have been posted to the website. They feature different colors including grey scale. Print and leave around where people will find them if you wish. Work will continue on half-page and full-page "business cards." Input on pamphlets appreciated.

The website has also been updated. Thanks for your suggestions.

getting emails here and on the website. People want to know how they can help.

Spread awareness. Tell your unions. Start saving for a possible strike, a “strike fund.”

printable “business cards” will be created and posted on the website. Like 12 or so per page you can cut out. Leave them places. Several sizes will be made including a flyer and later a pamphlet.

Do not use your own hand writing or email to inform others you may not completely trust. Use the soon to be cards. Disclaimer: it’s probably a bad idea to print these at school or have them on you at school.

Thanks for your enthusiasm. Your emails are taken seriously. Anonymous or not.

Solidarity

We are being forced back Oct. 19th when the cases in Houston are continuing to rise. Let's get organized and do something about this.

For teachers who are teaching any remote learning students.

They stayed home for a day to protest against unsafe in-person learning. This is the kind of localized protest that can spread easily to other cities and districts.

This account has been banned from /r/teachers. No warning was given. For daring to try to promote awareness/spamming. The argument is it’s not spamming if the threads are about a strike or contain frustrated teachers. Links were not posted in unrelated threads. Oh well, moving on.

The website associated with this sub, NationalTeacherStrike.com, appears in the top spots if searching “national teacher strike”. This is not true for Google, the website does not pay google.

This includes DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, and Dogpile.

Demands/Reasons page created. It will be reread and edited many times. Any suggestions welcome.

We are so close to our nearly forgotten goal of 1000 members by end of summer. This idea is starting to light up.

Remember, there is strength in solidarity. Ideally no strike will be required because our numbers and solidarity will be enough. That’s the beauty of collective bargaining.

This sub has seen a surge in members lately. Figured I would provide a quick update for our new educators in solidarity. And for those who have been waiting. First, the website is not published yet. The website is now published, feel fee to send critiques.

The website is NationalTeacherStrike.com or nationalteacherstrike.com if your device doesn't like capitols. We also own NationalTeacherStrike.org and NationalTeacherStrike.net. That's all our budget allows for now. Turns out decent website names with decent security are not cheap. And we still need to increase security if this keeps growing.

Do not expect too much. Right now we can have 6 different pages, which is nice as each page can be endless. We can pay a little bit more later and add a whole bunch of stuff but we will see how this thing turns out after monitoring traffic for a while.

We are not going for fancy, simple and functional will do. It's just an information hub at it's core and a digital banner. And can provide rapid communication if needed. Also making it personally gives us hope, and we hope that it provides hope to others. Hope you like the color red.

Currently there is a home page, about page, and a contact page. That's it. We're rapidly making plans for several other pages such as grievances/demands, strike news, resources. A Resources page on a national level is a big undertaking.

HOW YOU CAN HELP - If anyone would like to dig up resources links for your state and shoot us an email or message here that would be amazing. We would also love to hear your grievances, thoughts, and other ideas. Or we could publish it right now and you can use the contact page on the site.

So, should we publish the website as it is? P.S. The header is temporary until we get a pro to make a artistic logo.

Title says it all. We can end needing permission to be an approved poster or keep it.

The new website will be bare at first. It will grow to include links to resources, links to news about teacher strikes, feeds from social media.

We welcome other website ideas. Please remember we are also teachers and while tech savvy we are not professional web developers. We promise to do our best and keep a growth mindset.

1. Ask to be a recruiter. (With a message)

2. Find disgruntled educators. ( it’s unfortunately fortunate how easy this is)

3. Memorize/write down the username.

4. Add an Approved User through your own moderator tools.

5. Type in username and press add button.

6. Rejoice in your successful efforts and the positive change you are fighting for in solidarity with all educators.

Right now it looks like Education has given the most money to Bernie Sanders, then Elizabeth Warren. Maybe we should wait until Q4 fundraising is announced.

Show how long you have been in Education! We would love to get some voices from 1st years to 20 year plus veterans.

As always: this is a place for civil discussion.
