Denver teachers won massive gains from Denver Public Schools after just three days of striking. This follows 15 months of being stonewalled by DPS during contract negotiations. During the course of the strike, Denver Public schools insisted on keeping schools open, risking the safety of students. The district additionally threatened to report immigrant teachers to ICE and suspend the licenses of school nurses, among other Trumpian tactics, but were ultimately powerless to stop teachers’ solidarity. Moira Casados Cassidy, an ELL teacher and union organizer, joins us from Denver to take us through the unfolding of this struggle.
