#EdforMed Education Workers Support Health Care Workers Calling All Teachers, Education Workers and Students -- Join #EdforMed! On Friday of each week in the spirit of #RedforEd, while we are in this pandemic, we encourage you to raise your voices for the right to health care, which means respecting the rights of those who provide it! We call it #EdforMed! Call for governments to provide proper protective equipment, acceptable wages, safe working conditions and accommodations for all those on the frontline saving lives and keeping our economy going. Whether they are working here or traveling daily to the U.S., our health care workers' rights must be affirmed by governments at all levels, not just in word but in deeds. Let's show our pride as educators of the dedicated health care workers we have helped form. Our working conditions were their learning conditions as students, and now their working conditions are everyone's living conditions. Join in and make a statement! What can you do? - Share this post on social media. - Use the hashtag #EdforMed - Make the Med Apple your profile pic! - Bang pots and pans at 7:00 pm or 7:30 pm to show your support. - Drive to the nearest healthcare facility and honk, cheer and make noise for health care workers at their shift change. (Shift changes at hospitals are often 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm. If you can be at a facility in your car across the street or near the employee parking from 2:30 to 3:00 pm or 6:30 to 7:00 pm you will be able to salute those going in to start their shift and those ending it. ) - Empower yourself and come up with other ways and share them with us! Photos and other images sent by education workers and their families to show their appreciation for health care workers and support for their fight for safe working conditions have been made into a video. It can be viewed on the Education is a Right Podcast Facebook page here.
