Solidarity with L.A. teachers

Thank you L.A. teachers! Your struggle is our own. On May 15th the UTLA protested with civil disobedience against the massive layoffs in L.A. Unified Schools. I'm interested in this story because Los Angeles is one place where teachers are leading the way in defending public ed.
