Being on the ground with these brave young people on April 20, Day is Action with my union brothers and sisters supporting these kids’ fight was awe inspiring. They are born leaders. The map for needed change in America and how to achieve it is etched in their hearts. No doubt of that!
Bowing my head In silence with them at Stoneman Douglas, seeing their young leaders take charge, walking out with them, standing hours in a local park, hearing their speeches, impressed by how they fielded questions from every national and international media outlet gave me a sense of knowing.
Change is on the horizon.
Our future is in good hands.
I believe in their will to make this happen. Their VOICES will resonate with humanity!
They are fearless and furious and focused.
Nothing and nobody can stop them. Mark my words! I see it in their eyes.
Now.... how can we, as an education community, support their courageous leadership???
Let’s figure that out and make it happen.
Our unions... BTU, AFT, NEA, FEA are with them. Badass Teachers are with them. Many local and national groups are with them!
Who else? What will each of us do to help them?
We unite NOW to see future change! How can each one of us do our part?? Let’s think about that and “Pay it Forward” in their honor!
So grateful for these brave young souls and that I get to be part of it by watching them take courageous actions that will bring lasting changes in how we think and how we do things in our lives and in government!
