Build the Future, Fund the Fight

By this time, I hope you heard your union right!
Right? Public education under attack
You know it’s always time to fight back
Never with guns or knives
Cause teachers know what makes us wise
We use intellect, boycotts, and strategize
Sometimes do a dance
For critical thinking
Because everyone learns differently
But we all want the same thing
Collective bargaining, not begging
Health benefits, retirement
A profession!!!
It doesn’t matter what you win
If they always take it back
History of UTLA
There should be a test
But we are all inclusive
Even if you don’t score
We don’t show you the door
Cause we are in this together
Join the scene
The second largest school district in the nation
Is no vacation
But it is a party of rigor and learning
Equity and access
Vote yes for our dues
Think of it as a monthly tithe
To bridge the gap between rich and poor
We appreciate you and so much more
Remember you are the union
The students are the future
This is 2016
Marty McFly, Hollywood, it’s all here
Let us not forget the American Dream
Is not always what it seems
But we strive for a better place
Other than outer space.
Rodda Act you are alive and well today
Let’s keep it that way.
