Thousands Of Teachers To Protest Thursday

  • 6 years ago
50,000 teachers are expected to rally at the Arizona Capitol today to demand a 20 percent raise. In Colorado, more than 10,000 teachers are expected to rally as part of the growing teacher strikes. The walkouts are the climax of an uprising that began in West Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky. The #RedforEd movement seeks to address falling salaries for teachers over the past 15 years. Teachers say there's no end date for the walkout and it may result in a ballot initiative for funding.
