Teacher Strike Momentum Continues: Arizona and Colorado Educators Walking Out

The next wave of teacher activism begins on Thursday, as tens of thousands of educators in both Arizona and Colorado walk out of their classrooms and head to the state capitols.

In Arizona, 78 percent of the 57,000 school employees who cast ballots across the state voted to go on strike. They are asking for $1 billion in school funding, which would include a 20 percent pay raise for teachers.
