"My name is Raúl and I am here, present to support the teachers' union of the city of San Francisco. The reason I am here is because of the conditions in which the teachers work these days is deplorable. They don't have sufficient resources, or materials to provide to the children, nor do they benefit from the city resources. That's why I'm here. I am here to offer them my support. The thing is that my children went through the public education system in San Francisco and there were enough resources for them to enjoy a good education. It's not the same nowadays. My grandchildren face so many problems with their public schools in this area. And again that is why I'm here, to support them in whatever way I can and give my full support to all the teachers in the city and county of San Francisco."

Did you know it costs the District $20,000 dollars

Did you know it costs the District $20,000 dollars every time an educator leaves? Turnover is expensive, and ultimately it's our students who are paying the price. Join us in our fight for fully staffed, stable schools. Link in bio to get involved!

At a time when immigrants are under attack nationa

At a time when immigrants are under attack nationally it is critical to ensure that SFUSD strengthen language pathways and newcomer programs— yet the recent school budgets sent out to sites slash programs for newcomers.

Let’s make SFUSD a true sanctuary school district. Join us Jan 29 at SF International HS at 5:30pm in demanding that Dr. Su pause the cuts to newcomer programs until there is a vision and plan that aligns with student needs district wide.

The district just moved $111 MILLION into their savings account on top of the hundreds of millions already there. We know they have the resources to meet the needs of our students, families, and educators. UESF is fighting for today's dollars for today's students. Join us, and together, we'll win the schools our students deserve. Link in bio to get involved!

We’re at the last step of the mediation process, and we know that our students can’t wait for safe, stable schools. Watch and share this powerful video that came out of our fact finding hearing today.

Today, yet again, we let the district know just how bad the stability crisis is in SFUSD. The last time educators in San Francisco went on strike was in 1979. We clearly don’t take this step lightly, but we will stand up for the schools our students and educators deserve.

We want to hear from students, families, community

We want to hear from students, families, community partners, and public education advocates at our virtual town hall on Jan 28 at 6pm over Zoom! RSVP link in bio.

Educators are taking their final strike vote at ev

Educators are taking their final strike vote at every school from Jan 21 through Jan 28. We’re at the last step of the mediation process. Educators are fighting for safe, stable schools because our SPED students are underserved, dependent healthcare costs are through the roof, educators need livable wages, and our immigrant and unhoused communities are under constant threat. Together, we will win the schools our students deserve!

KQED was with us at our art build over the weekend and spoke with educators and parents about our fight for safe, stable schools. From January 21 to January 28 educators at every school across the city will be voting in our final strike vote. We’re voting yes because our SPED students are underserved, dependent healthcare costs are through the roof, educators need livable wages, and our immigrant and unhoused communities are under constant threat. Together, we will win the schools our students deserve!

UESF Vice President of Paraeducators, Teanna Tille

UESF Vice President of Paraeducators, Teanna Tillery, met with paraeducator members today to discuss our bargaining demands. Staff and Officers will be out at school and worksites this week, meeting with members to prepare for the launch of our final strike vote, which will be held at every site from January 21 to January 28. There is such a positive response and unity around our demands because we know that our students can’t wait for safe, stable schools. We’re voting yes. Together, we will win the schools our students deserve!
