Recent educators' strikes helped a new generation of activists learn how to approach strike support. The East Bay chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America played a critical support role in the recent Oakland teachers' strike, joining picket lines, feeding striking teachers and out-of-school students, and spreading agitational content. Come hear East Bay DSA members talk about their strike support efforts and lessons learned.
Tim Marshall is a 22 year veteran teacher in the Oakland Public Schools, a member of East Bay Democratic Socialists of America, and a Cluster Leader in the Oakland Education Association.
Emma Gagliardi is co-chair of East Bay DSA's Public Education Committee and helped lead the chapter's Oakland strike support efforts in feeding out-of-school children and striking teachers.
Nick French is co-chair of East Bay DSA's Political Education Committee and co-editor of Majority, the chapter's official publication. He is also a shop steward for UAW Local 2865, representing student-workers in the University of California system.
