(Vol 1, Issue 7) |
Greetings!
From the OEA ACES Center

From Akron to Vandalia, and Maumee to Stubenville, there are events all over Ohio. Visit the Stand Up for Ohio website to see the event closest to you. All of these events start after school, so that it's more likely that you'd be able to attend them. We need to keep building our momentum and growing the public support for our schools and communities, and the educators and public servants who work in them every day.
This past weekend, members and supporters rallied against Senate Bill 5 throughout Ohio on behalf of our students, colleagues and our communities. Hundreds of people turned out to rallies in Chillicothe and Delaware on Saturday; over 30 educators canvassed
