Over 700 teachers, students, parents & community members have taken action to protect public education. Will you join them?
Campaign to Protect Public Education
Massachusetts Jobs with Justice is joining with unions, community groups, and students to stand up against the corporate attacks on public education. These are the values we are fighting for:
Education as a right, not a privilege.
We believe that education should be free and accessible. We oppose charter schools, which seek to privatize our basic right to education. Charter schools have a union-busting, corporate agenda and we do not want them in our communities.
Teachers and communities working together.
We know that the best way to improve our schools is through a collective community process. Teachers, students, and parents are working together to enhance their communities and their schools.
An end to "Stand for Children."
We reject the so-called "Stand for Children" initiative, which claims to help children, but in actuality is a corporate-funded attack on public school teachers and the unions that represent them. We know that this initiative will not only hurt our teachers, but also our students and our communities. Learn more about how the AFT and the MTA are fighting back against "Stand for Children"
