Fall City Educators Occupy Olympia

5/8/2017

 
Two Fall City Elementary teachers traveled to Olympia last week to remind legislators of their paramount duty. They were featured in an OurVoice blog post.

Daionda Davis and Emily Lazenby are first grade teachers at Fall City Elementary in rural King County. They’re both union reps, and they’re both third-year teachers.

And on Tuesday, they were both first-time lobbyists in Olympia, tracking down their lawmakers to talk about the House and Senate’s competing budget plans.

“The Senate budget would reduce teacher pay and increase class sizes,” said Lazenby. “It would reduce our ability to collectively bargain, and that would make our jobs even harder than they already are.”

Davis and Lazenby joined Seattle Education Association President Phyllis Campano, who is helping organize Occupy Olympia and Resist the Senate Budget in Olympia. Every week day until May 12, dozens of WEA members are traveling to the state capital to lobby in support of the House Democrats’ K-12 budget and to oppose the Senate funding plan.
