friends and fellow travelers:

Teachers Unite is an organization I've discussed w/some of you before. They do social justice unionism and community engagement work. They are holding an organizing Institute in late August (see below). I've discussed, with some of you, our hopes for next year and onward in the Montclair area, and I would love it if I saw you there, too. For others, you may be interested or just may want to share with your networks.

They do a lot of stuff centered around NYC/AFT, but, for those of you not in NYC schools, there is enough generally-applicable stuff to make going worth it.

Brian
