The Oakland Education Association – Oakland’s teachers union – is on strike as of Thursday, May 4th. We speak with two Oakland teachers from the picket lines about why they’re striking, what they need in their contract, and how the strike might impact families, along with a parent activist whose children are OUSD students. Joining us to discuss are Sayuri Valenza is 19-year veteran teacher who has taught in the Special Ed department at Oakland’s Brett Harte Middle School for 10 years, and Pecolia Manigo, an OUSD parent and organizer of the Reparations for Black Students Campaign.
