Teacher Walkouts Expected for Thursday & Friday for #RedForEd

Teachers all across the valley of the sun in Arizona have united to schedule frequent walkouts over the past 2 months. The educators of the state of Arizona all banned together on Facebook to plan the walkouts. Facebook groups and hashtags with the “#RedForEd” phrase have been widespread on social media and even on cars across the valley. The color red has also been a large representation of the movement, with each supporter wearing red colored shirts to spread awareness.

The reason for the walkouts are due to teacher salary, which is among the lowest in the United States of America with a salary of less than $35,000 a year. The proposal that has been purposed by those who mold our young minds in Arizona is, to raise their salary significantly within the next few years. Picket signs, banners, shirts with written statements, shouting phrases, and support from various activists have all persisted for the cause. Since the many walkouts over the past 5 to 6 weeks, Governor of Arizona Doug Ducey has stated that he has a plan to raise educators’ salary by 20% by 2020.
