All of WV teachers: strike for 7 days

Every major news outlet: Where's the story? We've done strikes before, not news
Btw the #WVTeachersStrike just voted to occupy the Capitol as long as it takes to get what they want.
The teachers aren't just doing something brave and hard and really hard to coordinate to do together in the face of so much fear and intimidation.
Remember, they're striking in part because teaching in WV is a poverty wage job, and because they can't afford their healthcare. Most teachers work at least 1 extra job. This teacher said she has a coworker who has SIX jobs.
Not only that - the #WVTeachersStrike is feeding all the kids on low income programs who would normally get lunch from school, and the teachers are often buying and serving this food themselves. twitter.com/i/moments/9693…
Help support #55strong #55united as they stand up for public education, for working people, for teachers, and for students in a bolder, more radical way than anything most people have ever seen.

Chip in what you can to their strike fund.

The #WVTeachersStrike fund raised like $35k since yesterday, and it's wild and amazing... but also we can do better bc there's thousands of teachers out for over a week while also feeding their students w their own money.

Can you chip in $10? Yes, you.

OMG. Oklahoma teachers are talking about statewide strike now too.

In other news I'm literally solidarity crying.

MORE STRIKES! MORE STRIKES!

Will you chip in a little to this strike fund too please?
