The measures include aligning technical and professional courses with employer needs and removing critical content from curricula, while keeping thousands of education workers in precarious positions. The day of mobilization was preceded by an additional sectoral strike day on May 6, and coincided with a new wave of dockworkers’ protests for better working conditions and against arms transfers.

Washington, DC — “The reality is that our opposition has a lot of money, a lot of power, a lot of momentum.

Martinez is executive director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led network in the country.

After 35 teenage students walked out of their high school in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, to protest the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Feb. 20, they were attacked by the town’s police chief, Scott McElree, who was not in uniform nor did he identify himself. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Feb. 22, that eyewitnesses, including some who videoed the incident, claimed that McElree, dressed in plain clothes, charged into the crowd of students, pushed one boy to the ground and put one teenager in a chokehold. However, five students, some who were injured by McElree and other police officers while defending themselves, were arrested initially on simple assault charges, which were then elevated to aggravated assault, a felony, because their alleged “victim” was a police officer.

The clock hit 10:15 a.m., and everyone knew it was time. The school erupted as students flooded the main hallway. Signs popped up above the crowd and noise filled the air as they began their march towards the auditorium doors. When administrators secured the doors, students quickly found alternative routes. They rushed through multiple doors, one of which was blocked by snow. The obstacles slowed them, but did not stop them. What began as a walkout quickly became a determined march. Many marched out with a single goal, which was to make their voices heard and raise awareness.
