@sagaftra.orgReposted by @long-haul-mag.bsky.socialWe are saddened by the loss of NPR journalist and SAG-AFTRA member Rose Friedman, who died at 38.

@long-haul-mag.bsky.socialThese fights demonstrate "the potential of teacher-parent alliances and grassroots organizing within and beyond schools" which remain urgent today.
@long-haul-mag.bsky.socialShe attributes these transformations to schooling, as well as her own, to "the connections" she's made, "with activist parents, community groups, and union radicals."
