To demonstrate support for the BC Teachers’ Federation, the BC Federation of Labour has launched a series of efforts to raise awareness of the dispute, the issues that are at the heart of negotiations, and to provide venues for people to show their support. Here in Vancouver, there is a rally scheduled for Friday:
- Date: Friday, September 19, 2014 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
- Location: BC Liberal Cabinet Office, Vancouver - 999 Canada Place Plaza
We will be there: look for the PSAC flags!
For a full list of rallies across the province, and other ways to support BCTF members & public education, visit the BCTF website.
If you are a parent and would like to donate all or part of Christy Clark's bribe of $40/day/child-under-age-13 to the teachers' strike fund, you can do so through Families Funding Teachers, set up by a local parent. All money goes to the PayPal account of the BC Teacher’s Federation, and will be directed toward their strike fund. We can support our union brothers and sisters.

Hi unionistas! Just want to let you know *anyone* can donate to http://www.familiesfundingteachers.ca – it’s not just for parents receiving the $40/day bribe money. The site was set up to show our support for teachers and allow all British Columbians to donate to the BCTF’s strike fund. If a million people donated $5…
in solidarity!

Yes, thank you for the clarification: anyone can donate, not just parents. Just $5 per person would go a long way.
