Oregon’s educators are strong. We are united. And we stand up for our students every single day. 2019 has been a season of advocacy for our union. Together, we’ve led the fight to better fund our schools and support our students. We invigorated and inspired our communities like never before. Tens of thousands of us found our voices to speak truths about what our students need to be successful. And together, we passed the Student Success Act, investing $2 billion into our schools. When we stand together in union, we can truly make a difference.

The streets of downtown Hood River were flooded with educators and community support.
We passed school board resolutions, waved signs at intersections, dropped banners on overpasses, we walked united into schools, wore a hell of a lot of red, marched 5,000 strong in Salem, and "took it to the MAX". When we stand together and speak with one voice, we can make a difference.
