This is for every teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase poverty and inequality, and refuses to accept assessments, tests and evaluations imposed by those who have contempt for real teaching and learning.

TIME FOR A CHANGE CHICAGO! SUPPORT JAY TRAVIS
The Badass Teachers Association (BATs) is a national education activist organization with over 50,000 members. BATs have been fighting against the corporate machine and the destruction it has left in both our schools and communities. Jay Travis embodies this fight. She is a grassroots community organizer that represents the people, and not corporate money. She represents all the children of Chicago, not the corporate interests of Rham Emanuel. She has supported rank and file teachers and not the unelected school board that has attempted to beat down Chicago’s teachers. She has fought for disenfranchised communities such as the 12 parents and community activists who conducted a 30 day hunger strike to save Dyett High School.
Jay personifies the true progressive voice that we need working for our communities. BATs proudly encourages everyone that believes in justice, community, and hope to vote for Jay Travis!
