I am an ENL/Spanish teacher and a UFT Delegate at Motion Picture Tech, a CTE school in Queens, an education activist from the Bronx, and an ally/accomplice to parent and student activists. I have worked closely with parent and student activists for decades.

Our working conditions are the conditions our students are forced to learn under. Buildings and facilities are in disrepair, our healthcare is under threat, there is a lack of recess/playspace, safety and support, lack of staffing, and inequities in pay are impacting us all.

We are tired of being gaslighted and marginalized and sold out.
