We will unite with hundreds of school districts across the nation on Thursday, October 6 to demand publicly funded, equitable, and democratically controlled public schools. This national action will help shift the public debate and build a national movement for strong public schools for every child.
Here in Milwaukee, we will be organizing one of two powerful actions at each school around public education funding. Each school will hold either a morning walk-in or an afternoon neighborhood walk with parents, students, community members, and educators.
These actions will help us build our movement to expose and reverse the funding inequities that exist in Wisconsin’s public schools.
Begin organizing your school community’s Oct. 6 action today! Talk with your MTEA building leaders and register your school here.
Follow these instructions to set up your school’s Action Network event page.

This is an awesome idea, however, if it is not promoted to all public schools in Wisconsin by ads in multi media by NEA, NAACP, Black Lives Matter, and every philantrophist like Herb Kohl and every person who supports public schools it will not reach out far enough. It needs to be publicized. Every public school and public university and all who believe in The American Dream being for all children …not the chosen few. Taxpayer money is being used to fund Charter Schools and for vouchers. They do not have to have the same accountability as public schools. If they do not like the children’s race, creed , tribe or learning style ,they don’t have to admit them. Anyone who has any common sense, which Walker and his people have none, should see this is a double standard. We can’t just keep saying enough. We must act in a peaceful way. Why are we letting politicians tell us how to educate children? Why do they think they know more about children and learning than a trained, educated, licensed teacher? We need to actively, peacefully, but with a loud united voice stand up for our country’s best hope for the future…our children.
