Virginia Teachers Protest for Fair Wages and Education Funding

HeadlineJan 29, 2019

In Virginia, thousands of teachers and supporters took to the streets Monday to protest low wages and demand more funding for education. The march comes in the wake of the Los Angeles teachers’ strike, which ended last week in a deal between the teachers’ union and the school district, and as teachers in Denver have also voted to strike. Teachers in Oakland, California, will begin voting today on whether to authorize a strike.
