Higher education should be a right, not an expensive privilege that leaves most poor and working class folks with a lifetime of debt.

Digital Illustration of a Black woman with her arms crossed. She's standing in a dreary classroom, and is wearing a red power suit, hoop earrings and a white blouse. The text bubble on the first image reads, ‘cancel our student debt.’ The second image reads, 'education shouldn’t be a privilege only for the wealthy'

"same energy” i shout, holding up both these images, looking around to see if i’m doing the meme right but everyone is avoiding eye contact with me

If you're not in AZ I still encourage you to call your governor and DEMAND online only at least until October! If you ARE in AZ, it would be great if you can call as much as possible on Wednesday, July 22nd because that's when teachers have organized a "motor march" protest where Red for Ed will be driving in a line to the capitol building.

honestly I’m just so lost and tired. I’m a senior in high school and I’m graduating in a few months. But with all this happening in the world, I’m not looking forward to being on my own. The world is in shambles and now it’s my time to adult? Australia’s fires, covid-19, the chance that Trump or even Biden might be President (again) for the first four years of my adulthood, all these shootings, all the plastic in the ocean killing wildlife, the fact that in some states you’re considered a murderer for getting an abortion, the shortage of honeybees, global warming, the Chinese government is persecuting Muslims, teachers being treated like shit. I’m just so overwhelmed and so tired and burnt out. I don’t even know what kind of future I’m getting, or if I’ll even get a real one, so why should I even be excited to graduate. I’m so stressed out about college in one half of me, but the other half is just asking why am I stressed out for nothing, it doesn’t even matter.

I’ve got 99 problems and cuts to education funding have caused pretty much all of them #REDforED Today SC teachers made a stance to advocate for our students. Do we deserve to be paid as the professionals we are? Of course. But for me today is about my babies. My 4 year olds who deserve access to mental health care when they need it. My 4 year olds who deserve to have a classroom filled with supplies and activities that make them excited to learn. My 4 year olds who deserve to have the chance to explore the things they are interested in and not be forced into a curriculum that doesn’t fit their needs because the people who choose it don’t know my kids. Today we advocate our students because they get the best from us and they DESERVE the best from our policy makers.

And if you like all of the fun colorful things out in my classroom my children have, I’d tell you Thank you very much. I picked out and purchased ~85% of it myself.
