Moments like the #wvteachersstrike make me miss being a member of @CTULocal1 the Chicago Teachers Union, but makes me all the more inspired to fight with my current teachers union @UFT! #55United #55strong

West Virginia, Oklahoma next! We are a spark that will be fanned into a flame that spreads across! #wvteachersstrike #55strong #55United #strike

Coal left, and we looked in desperation. In West Virginia, something had to change. But instead of looking to a politician, we looked to each other. #55strong #55United #wvteachersstrike

This is truly amazing in a labor movement that has traditionally been male led. #55strong #55United #wvteachersstrike #union #unionstrong

So many women led this movement. A lot of women led. #wvteachersstrike #55strong #55United y'all are so inspiring, West Virginia teachers and activists.

"I always thought of myself as a teacher. I'm not an activist. And my friend looks at me dead serious- you ARE. And I said, I am! I'm a teacher AND an activist!" #55strong #55United #wvteachersstrike

Superintendents- "NO. They're not going back tomorrow." Everyone in the education system was together. #55strong #55United #wvteachersstrike

Bus drivers crucial to #wvteachersstrike. "There will be no bus service today." When there's no buses running, there's no school tomorrow! "Media didn't understand. This was a school employees strike." #55strong #55United

"You're not getting fired. YOU'RE not getting fired. NO ONE'S getting fired." #55United #55strong #wvteachersstrike

Today, after the settlement was announced, I saw teachers in the usual spot with signs that said "Thanks for your support." Classy end to a game-changing effort. #55united #wvteachers

Actually, it's a beautiful day. #WVteachers #55strong #55united

I taught for eleven years in public schools with lots of great folks. Worked hard to change lives. I support #WVteachers. #55United
