"Education Justice Alliance Launched by RTA"

“There’s an old saying that there is strength in numbers so when it comes to the future of funding education in Revere what’s the harm in having more people on your side?

The Revere Teachers Association (RTA) has recently joined forces with community and statewide organizations to create the Revere Education Justice Alliance (REJA). 

This Alliance, made up of educators, parents, students and community members, is dedicated to supporting free, accessible, and fully-funded public education in Revere. 

For the better part of the past year the RTA has been meeting with Women Encouraging Empowerment (WEE), Revere Youth in Action (RYiA), the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) and Massachusetts Jobs with Justice (JWJ) to lobby for increased state funding to Revere Public Schools, as part of the statewide Fund Our Future campaign.

These groups have been on the front lines advocating for ending the generations-long under-funding of local public schools.”
