NYC Teacher Protest Propaganda

No. Not protesting against teachers. Me (a teacher) and other city workers will be protesting in support of teachers, librarians, and firefighters against our city's dishonorable Mayor Bloomberg's proposed multi-mullion dollar budget cuts: laying off 6000 teachers, closing 20 firehouses and cutting much needed public library services!

 Come out to support if you wish TODAY, June 14th.

Time: 4:30pm
Where: Starting at the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall.
Why: Think about it. Less teachers. Less firefighters. Less libraries. WTF?
Think about how that's a slap in the face of our democracy or what's left of it.
Think about the future of our country and how new, creative innovations for a better, freer world CANNOT happen without well-supported public institutions!

Twill be my first time participating in a teacher protest. Carrying signs and such. And hopefully doing some guerilla postings in public spaces with these babies I made:

This scares my colleagues...

I suppose it's a menacing concept. Hugging a teacher? We're people? We have feelings? That was my idea. To have people humanize teachers since we've been dehumanized and demonized by the media for far too long. I suppose I am allowing myself to connect with my inner hippie. All I'm missing are some wild flowers. Anyone?

Final NYC budget won't be out until July 1st (was supposed to be announced this month...).
Hold onto your seats...it'll be an interesting ride even if you're not from the NYC area; this absurdity is happening nationwide unfortunately. And it's time to stand up against it, somehow, together.
