We stand in solidarity with the Cambridge Education Association. Come rally for them today at City Hall @ 4pm. For more info & to sign up for public comment: https://mailchi.mp/cambeducation.org/cea-action-at-city-hall-to-support-living-wages-for-esps

WEDNESDAY MAY 8 at 4pm CEA needs as many people as possible to come to City Hall to show the City Council that our Clerks, Substitutes and Paraprofessionals (ESPs - Education Support Professionals) deserve a fair contract and living wage.
CEA'S THREE ASKS: 1. Do you support a living wage for our ESPs? 2. Please ask the school committee and superintendent if they believe there are enough funds in this budget to negotiate living wages for our ESPs for next school year. 3. If the school committee realizes that there are not sufficient funds, will you support an additional allocation from city funds specifically for this purpose?
