Ontario Day of Action in Solidarity with Striking Teachers
That's why this Friday, February 21, we will be having a province-wide Day of Action to unify us as students and stand in solidarity with our teachers and education staff striking. The team at Students Say No has created an Organizer's Guide [click here] for you all to learn about what action you can take in your community and how we can make a huge impact this Friday! Make sure to register your school in our Registration Form [click here] so we can keep track of all the student actions taking place on this day. As students, we HAVE to stand up for our education, for our teachers and staff, for our futures and for each other. We can no longer stand by while the government attempts to strip away quality public education. So this Friday, get your friends together and FIGHT BACK! Dance, make art, chant and refuse to back down! Let's get organized! #studentssayno #cutshurtkids #prioritizeeducation #nocutstoeducation For more information, click here.

For the past
couple of months, teachers and education staff across the
province have been taking action against the budget cuts made by Ford's
government. As students, we have seen our teachers and education staff
brave the cold and make all of our voices heard through resilient
rallying and collective action. Despite the job actions taken,
negotiations have still yet to be made, and Stephen Lecce, the
Provincial Minister of Education, has yet to even show up to the
bargaining table. We have seen and felt the effects of these cuts and
can no longer be complacent in the fight for our education.
