Why MORE/New Action Candidates Contest Unity Caucus Seats
for  UFT Leadership In Union Elections
with
Jia Lee, candidate for President Jia is currently a 4th/5th grade special education teacher and is chapter
leader at the Earth School in District 1 and a public school parent. As
chapter leader, she supported staff consultation committees on issues from
micromanagement and professional conciliation and fostered mediation to
support a democratic culture. She testified before the U.S. HELP (Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions) Senate Committee, on the reauthorization of
ESEA. She is an opt out organizer with Change the Stakes and NYC Opt Out,
a member of the Stronger Together Caucus and a national network of social
justice caucuses.
and
Camille Eterno, candidate for Secretary Camille has been an English teacher since 1996. She was elected to chapter
leader at the Queens Gateway to Health Sciences and won grievances that were
said to be unwinnable and organized her chapter into a force at many union rallies.
As a leader in the Independent Community of Educators, she was instrumental in
the battle against the giveback laden 2005 contract. She is now a delegate from
Humanities and the Arts High School in Queens.
and
Jonathan Halabi, High School Division Candidate for Executive BoardJonathan is a UFT Chapter leader and a math teacher at the H.S. of American
Studies at Lehman College.  He’s been on the UFT Ex. Board 2009 to the

present. Jonathan has said “Teaching is an honorable career. We help kids

learn and grow. Their success is our reward. But not if we are mistreated. Not

if our voices are ignored. Not if decisions that affect our schools are made out

of incompetence and malice. We are running to ensure all our voices are heard

in our union”.

Building Bridges brings to the airwaves the voices of MORE/New Action

Caucus candidates for the UFT’s seats in the union’s upcoming election. 

MORE/New Action says “if you’re tired of the attacks against teachers and

public education; if you’re tired that our students’ education has been hijacked

by a “test” prep curriculum focusing our time on “data” instead of teaching then

we need something different. A union that fights for the rights of students,

teachers and communities. A union that fights for racial and economic justice

inside and outside our schools. “We help kids learn and grow. Their success is

our reward. But not if we are mistreated”.

Profiled
withKathleen Foster, independent producer and director of cutting-edge films

about social justice.  Foster is the recipient of a number of awards. In 2006

Women in Islam presented her with a Compass Award for her film Point of

Attack. This award honors women whose work exemplifies the legacy of

Dr. Betty Shabazz.  Foster’s 2007 documentary Afghan Women: A History

of Struggle was sighted as a film that “challenges the dominant ideologies

found in contemporary mainstream American war films.” At the Workers

Unite Film Festival of 2013, 10 Years On: Afghanistan and Pakistan was

named Best Short Documentary.

Profiled knits the stories of mothers of Black and Latino youth murdered by the

NYPD into a powerful indictment of racial profiling and police brutality, and

places them within a historical context of the roots of racism in the U.S.  Ranging

from the routine harassment of minority students in an affluent Brooklyn

neighborhood to the killings and protests in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri,

Profiled bears witness to the racist violence that remains an everyday reality for

black and Latin people in this country and gives us a window on one of the burning

issues of our time.
