On the morning of Friday, February 22nd, a group of people carrying cameras banged on the door of a leader of local nonprofit GO Public Schools, awakening his family and frightening his children.
The group left leaflets with neighbors related to the Oakland teachers strike, signed only as “Oakland Community Members.” Among them were leaders of Parents United for Public Schools.
GO is a nonprofit founded 10 years ago, primarily by educators in the Oakland district, to advocate for strong public schools for all students in Oakland. The organization has advocated, among other things, for every measure to increase district funding since its inception.
