Solidarity with the @secondstaff2s workers at Richmond, VA's Faison School who are organizing for safer working conditions for themselves & the students & families they serve. No education worker, no student, & no family member should fear exposure to #COVID19. @dmvewoc @iww_dc
#️⃣4️⃣ We are asking for a widely available, accessible, and documented call-in line for COVID-19 SPECIFIC CONCERNS. Every worker, family, and member of the @faisoncenter community deserves a voice that is HEARD. 🗣💥

@secondstaff2s has just released their finalized demands publicly. The bosses at the Faison school will do all they can to resist these reasonable demands - please share them to show the workers they are supported! ✊

We are hosting a fundraiser for the workers who were unjustly fired by Ellwood Thompson's. Please consider donating and sharing this link so we can show them some working class solidarity!

Hey y'all, we appreciate everyone who has reached out - we are very aware of the situation at Ellwood's and cannot reply to everyone at the moment.
Please put us in contact with workers from there directly. All communication will be completely confidential.

The most basic reason the US has been hit so hard is the wealth gap. We defunded pandemic preparedness for the same reason we aren’t funding reopening (eg aggressively equipping schools or testing efficiently). Money is held by those who can shelter in their places indefinitely.

Hygiene Theater is the perfect expression for it. We’re now seeing a mass spectacle debut in education; all across the continent, such as @faisoncenter’s @secondstaff2s. Online, & distance education is the only legitimate alternative, the workers assert.
I wrote about “Hygiene Theater”—how restaurants, gyms, and subways have wasted millions of dollars on fancy cleaning plans to defeat a mostly airborne plague and made Americans more confused and unsafe in the process.
