It was just last Friday when over 20
education students gathered to form the Solidarity Committee. So much
has happened in the seven days since our first meeting!
We have:
We have:
- Adopted a statement of principles and expectations (here they are)
- Reached out to the administration to open up communication and a collaborative process
- Held a "Public School Solidarity" rally and picketed with teachers at University Highlands
Through
the process, we've had over 1000 page views on our website, shared our
message on Global News, CBC Radio, and CBC Television, and formed a
partnership with the TSSU (teaching assistants union at SFU).
There has been a lot of progress in opening up communication with the administration. Look for some concrete steps forward on this in the early part of next week.
We also organized ourselves
into two subcommittees. One is focusing on
Strike Impacts (communication with the administration) and the other is
focusing on Solidarity Actions (demonstrating support for public
education). All education students are welcome to join and help out with
either subcommittee. If you are interested, just send an email asking
how to get connected and more involved. There has been a lot of progress in opening up communication with the administration. Look for some concrete steps forward on this in the early part of next week.
