A Tale of Two School Strikes
In the last couple of weeks, both school teachers and their students have been on strike to demand a better future. The students are calling for urgent climate action, while the teachers are fighting for better pay and better conditions — for their students as well as themselves, with their core demands including better overall funding for education, and a significant reduction of class sizes. It could not be more important to highlight the fact that both the climate crisis and the education crisis have the same root cause — capitalism. And it is imperative for students and teachers to stand together and fight side by side, in order to win both struggles.
