@wi_yes students from over a dozen schools across several districts have taken to the streets of Milwaukee for a Student Strike Day of Action in support of several demands:
- ICE Out for Good
- MPS Workers Getting a Full Cost of Living Adjustment on July 1 and Reversing Harmful Cuts to Frontline Workers
- End U.S. Imperialism
- No More Student or Teacher Retaliation
- Liberation For All
#StudentPower #CutContractsNotClassrooms
Album #2: Hamilton High School held a picket following the school day on Friday to show their united opposition to Superintendent Cassellius' cuts to student-facing staff and refusal to provide MPS frontline workers with a basic cost of living adjustment (2.63%) on July 1. Instead the Superintendent has given $30,000 - $70.000 raises to over two dozen of her chiefs and hid $26 million in individual school budgets section 3. The workers of MPS however see through the superintendent's lies and misinformation. We will not stop fighting until ALL MPS workers are made whole.
Stand with us!
Tuesday, 4/21: MTEA Town Hall for Parents and Families with School Board Directors
Thursday, 4/23: ALL OUT for Mass Picket to “CUT CONTRACTS, NOT CLASSROOMS!!

Get a DOPE Magazine Solidarity-T-shirt!
Help fund DOPE Magazine by getting a John Fleissner-designed solidarity T-shirt. John did this original design for us for the cover of Issue 29.
DOPE Magazine is a solidarity project. Each issue, we print 40,000 copies of the newspaper, and distribute them for free to our mainly homeless vendors, who sell them on the street for £3 and keep 100% of the money.
T-shirts will be bought wholesale in white, NO SWEAT Heavy straight cut. No Sweat T-shirts are organic, made from Global Organic Textile certified cotton, using azo-free dye and tested to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
T-shirts are union-made in India and Bangladesh by workers organised by the Tamil Nadu Textile and Common Labour Union (TTCU) and the Bangladesh Garment and Industrial Workers Federation (BGIWF). Profits from buying no sweat t-shirts wholesale are used to fund No Sweat campaigns and to support the Garment Worker Solidarity Fund, which supports independent trade unions around the world organising in the garment industry.
We are doing a pre-order system on these t-shirts- so we know the demand, and so we don’t buy too many or too few. It may take 4-5 weeks from today to arrive, therefore, although after that point your order should only take days to arrive.
Due to complications around shipping to Europe and the rest of the world, we can only do UK shipping for now.
@wi_yes students from across the city were joined by teachers, and community supporters at tonight's school board meeting to testify in support of clear parameters on the School Resource Officers (SROs) who were forced into their schools by Republican state legislators. Thanks to all who spoke or submitted written testimony in support of the resolution.

Republican politicians in Madison mandated cops in Milwaukee Public Schools, but not any other district in the state. We want schools where students are motivated by passion not schools run through fear.
