NAACP EDUCATORS' FORUM
NAACP EDUCATORS' FORUM
Saturday, October 20, 10 am - 12 pm
Elmhurst United Methodist Church
1659 83rd Avenue (Corner of 83rd & Plymouth)
The NAACP is hosting a meeting with Oakland teachers.
We'll enjoy light refreshments and discuss issues facing our African American youth. This conversation is even more important as we look at the District's multi-year commitment to the Department of Education's Voluntary Resolution on discipline and suspension rates of African American males in Oakland schools. How do we balance the issues of equity, safety, discipline, and learning time? What training is required and what systems need to be in place? What are our recommendations to Superintendent Smith?
Please join OEA President, Trish Gorham, at this event.

Teachers Support Mi Pueblo Workers and their Families
Teachers Support Mi Pueblo Workers and their Families
Saturday, October 20th 1-4 pm
1630 High St. Oakland
An immigration audit has placed undocumented workers at Mi Pueblo markets at serious risk of losing their jobs. A number of OUSD students have family members who work at Mi Pueblo and thus are at risk of losing their economic livelihood.
Join the teachers across the district organizing a contingent of educators to show the community that we have their back.
We will send you more information about the rally, a sample email you can use to bring this issue to the attention of your school community, and ideas for organizing students, teachers, and parents in defense of Mi Pueblo workers and undocumented communities in Oakland.

This will be my tenth year teaching math. I've loved teaching at Oakland High School for the past seven years! This year I am a math teacher for the OHS Environmental Science Academy. Prior to teaching high school, I taught 6th, 7th, and 8th math grade for three years in East Oakland.
I have a BA in Pure Math from the University of California at Berkeley. While at Cal, I lead a statistics workshop for the athletic department's study center (Go Bears!). I was also an undergraduate assistant for the PDP Calculus 1A and 1B intensified sections. I worked with the Hands on Universe Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and I obtained my teaching credential from California State University East Bay. Before teaching, I worked in finance at Barclays Global Investors in SF, CA (which has been acquired by Black Rock) and studied dance at the Ailey School in NY, NY. Currently I am the web designer/master for the Oakland Education Association.

Ann Kruze has been an educator for over 30 years, 20 in the classroom. Seven of those years
were teaching in overseas classrooms. She has an MA in Educational Technology. Oakland
Unified has provided her the opportunity to explore how technology can support and enhance
student learning and teacher practice. Outside of school, she has loved raising her two
incredible daughters and exploring this wonderful state. (See Ann featured in this article about educational technology)

Protest Michelle Rhee and the
Corporate Attack on Education
Paramount Theater
February 7th, Rally at 7pm, Event at 8
2025 Broadway, Oakland
Who is Michelle Rhee?
- Former chancellor of Washington DC schools and anti-union crusader
- Founder of StudentsFirst, a partner in privatizing education with people like Bill Gates and the Broad Foundation
- Featured in the movie Waiting for Superman, where she denigrated public school teachers and promoted her corporate brand of “Rhee-Form”
Why Should We Protest?
- This isn’t about just one person: it is about the right-wing movement that Rhee represents
- Rhee personifies the pro-corporate agenda that puts test scores and private contracts before students’ needs
- Rhee and her right-wing cohorts, like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, are leading the national drive to bust education and other public sector unions
What Do We Want?
- Fully funded public education
- An end to school closures and the expansion of charters
- Good contracts for all public sector workers
Join Bay Area Education Activists
as we give Rhee the reception that she deserves!
