Hazel Kight Witham from Venice HS talks about her strike experience.

Organized parent power helps win our strike
Amid the sea of red shirts that flooded Los Angeles in early January, it may have been easy to miss those worn by the members of Eastside Padres Contra La Privatización. An all-volunteer organization formed in 2017. Eastside Padres is a leading force in the community struggle to defend public education.

Our strike empowered Los Angeles. The impacts of our collective action are not just those we can measure, like contract wins and the shifting political dynamic, but those that are more intangible, like the positive human, emotional, and spiritual effects.
