Our schools should be safe havens for our students and families. 💔 ICE is traumatizing our students, educators, education workers, families, and communities.

A flurry of immigration enforcement steps away from schools in California’s second-largest city has sparked outrage among educators and local officials.

"Every campus, from kindergarten through college, must be a safe haven. Every student deserves to learn without wondering whether someone they love will be taken while they are sitting in a classroom. Every educator and education worker deserves to do their job without being expected to absorb the trauma created by fear and instability in our communities."

Every card in this photo represents a teacher who did the math. ✍️

Prop 3 only affects the top 2% of California earners. That means 98% of us see zero change to our taxes. But if these rates expire, the wealthiest 1% get an average tax cut of nearly $59,000 a year while our schools absorb billions in cuts.

Doyle Elementary teachers are standing up for their students, not tax breaks for millionaires. Join them in voting YES on Prop 3.
