we have to cook for our neighbors, look out for kids that arent ours, shovel each others driveways & pick up our friends from work even if it’s cold outside; especially if it’s cold. when we keep to ourselves it only gets colder. we need to stay close. we need to be the warmth.

Some highlights from our first open meeting this evening! We outlined our wins so far, studied the wins of other unions, and began the process of power-mapping. Excited to continue to organize rank-and-file Providence teachers and fight for the schools we deserve 💪
