We have a whole new contractual work day that nobody voted on that we showed violated the current Contract. Whether this is better or worse should be up to the rank and file to decide in a vote, not Mulgrew.
And no, the answer is not to leave the union; the answer is to demand a real one!
Dear ,
We cannot contemplate the reopening of New York City schools until Mayor Bill de Blasio's plans meet the safety standards that our children and members need. But we continue to negotiate with the Department of Education on terms and conditions of employment related to the blended learning model because even if we don’t return to buildings in September, this model is likely to be implemented at some point in the future.
We recently concluded negotiations with the DOE on new model schedules for teachers if school buildings reopen. Your work day will be six hours and 50 minutes, though you will only have to be in the building for six hours and 20 minutes each day. Some elements will remain the same, such as a duty-free lunch, but we were able to persuade the DOE to adjust the regular schedule — and eliminate the 155 minutes of extended time — to give you more time to plan instruction and connect with families.
Here are the highlights:
30 minutes daily for instructional coordination: The first half hour of your school day, before classes start, will be dedicated to the coordination of instruction between in-person and remote educators teaching the same students and between co-teachers in Integrated Co-Teaching classes. In secondary schools, this time is in addition to your administrative period.
Option to prepare remotely: While schools are operating in the blended learning model, the final 30 minutes of your day will be a prep period. We fought to ensure that you could decide whether to prep in school or remotely during that half hour. The teacher alone makes this decision. Accordingly, your school day will end 30 minutes early, and you will have to be in your school building for only six hours and 20 minutes.
More time to engage families: All teachers will have 20 minutes per day for office hours. Instead of one weekly Parent Engagement period, you will now have 20 minutes built into your daily schedule to check in with your students and their families.
Synchronous instruction will be part of remote learning: One takeaway from the spring was the importance of synchronous or “live” instruction to keep our students, particularly our young students, engaged in remote learning. Remote teachers this fall will be expected to participate in synchronous instruction for some portion of each day. We are still negotiating the details with the DOE.
Instructional lunch for students: Using the Breakfast in the Classroom model from elementary schools, many students will have instructional lunches to maximize their class time and minimize their contact with children outside their own class groups. Since not all types of instruction can happen during student lunch, school communities should discuss the types of instruction that can effectively happen during this time. You will still have a duty-free lunch, so in many cases a different teacher will teach your students during the instructional lunch period.
Monthly faculty and grade or department conferences: Schools may hold one faculty conference and one grade or department conference per month, in accordance with the regular DOE-UFT contract. These 40-minute meetings will occur at the end of the school day, immediately prior to the teacher’s 30-minute prep. During this time, teachers can engage in administrative duties or professional learning as assigned by the principal.
See the DOE guidance on schedules and instruction »
Even as we negotiate the details of the blended learning model with the DOE, we have not signed off on the reopening of school buildings in September. We will not return until the city addresses issues such as the shortcomings in its testing and tracing protocols and the lack of a school nurse in every building.
We will continue to fight to defend the health and safety of our school communities. Under no circumstances will we allow UFT members and our students to be put in danger.
Stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Michael Mulgrew
UFT President

Ok, I am a scab. I believe I've been proven right, repeatedly. So, now lets see the 99.9% work together and do something.
The leadership have no fear. They do what they want. Why should they care? None of them are in the classroom. They need to be afraid of the rank and file.
There’s nothing In there About observations. We’ll get screwed on that too.
I can't believe they agreed to the instructional lunches, but still the contract states we are allowed to refuse to do something that puts our safety or health at risk.
Observations dont matter at this point, my safety does. The uft should be staging a walkout. They arent. I know it is too late to opt out. I hope some of you know what you are paying for, and realize you arent getting it.
One of the middle and high school sample programs has six teaching periods on it. The other has five. Guess which one the principals will pick?
Where is the petition to remove Mulgrew?
This is disgraceful! What say the rank and file?
#MulgrewMustGo
Does Mulgrew have authority to arbitrarily change our contractual working conditions without our input? This is insane!
District 75 teachers need much more information to address health and safety concerns as well as length of school day when children are confined to a six foot square space for 5.5 hours a day. Will not work well for the kids, problem behaviors in every classroom.
What?
Dont members have to vote on a contract/contractual changes?
Does this mean the DOE/UFT can do these alterations without membership approval? Seriously--wtf!?!
1:31 asks Does Mulgrew have the authority? Who's going to stop him? Teachers ignoring him and walking out enmasse scares the shit out of him. That's your only leverage now that most have agreed to another year of dues.
By now, I am figuring that most NYC teachers have heard that Mulgrew has given in to all of the DOE's instructional demands. What I do not understand is why. For some, the answer is simple: he is weak.
Logically though, even from a public relations standpoint, it doesn't make any sense. If I was someone advising him, I would have said, are you crazy? The governor is speaking tomorrow about the reopening of schools very soon. Why would you issue a letter to members saying that you agreed to demands before the governor has spoken. If the governor says what many of us want to hear, all of this is moot.
As a strategy, it makes no sense, There is nothing left to bargain with or for. And if the health and safety provisions are not met, Mulgrew has said repeatedly that we are not going back. If that happens and we are remote, or if Cuomo makes the right call and we are remote, we would need to start over. We would not need the coordination at the beginning of the day. Or the lunch in the classroom with instruction.
I don't get it.
Great idea, keep paying dues and then get ignited against the guy you are paying. Make sense? I didnt think so.
I've seen Mulgrew's email. I have read it. Let's not lose our shit. Let's get ignited. Instead of freaking out on Facebook please consider attending UFT Solidarity August General Members Meeting. It's on Monday over Zoom from 3 to 4pm.
As my colleague and fellow Council member said: "I don’t plan on losing my head until after Cuomo’s announcements. And hopefully we won’t have to.... People need to remember the situation is constantly evolving and whatever we do at any moment is temporary. Elections now are critical because people like DeVos are using the pandemic to destabilize public education."
Hey, Mike!
Four classes in a row equals three straight hours without a bathroom break. Some of us don't have twenty two year old prostates anymore! When we have to go, we have to go!
I have one day to decide if I stay or go.
What's to stop us from striking at this point? What's the use of a contract if Mikey Mulgrew plays fast and loose with it? Did he think leaving at 2:20 every day would placate the members? Does anybody see the abuse by crazy ass administrators coming?
If this goes on much longer, I'm not going to have to worry, because I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.
Striking is not the answer. Taylor law. And the public conversation needs to not be about schedules, but safety.
I'm so glad that I opted out. What a sorry excuse for a union.
If DOE and UFT violate the contract, they both can be taken to PERB. Could be class action complaint to give more teeth. UFT Solidarity could lead the way as a opposition to Unity hacks.
District 75 needs more information regarding Health and Safety measures.
What is being suggested is not suitable enough for our unique needs and the health and safety of students and staff.
QUESTION: Will UFT offices and DOE central offices be open to visitors in September? If not, then the UFT and the DOE and UFT have absolutely no right to ask teachers to report to our unsafe buildings. Lastly, I thought I hated Mulgrew a lot in the past. Today, I hate him more that words can describe. He is a money sucking leech that only cares about getting dues from his members. He will not be setting one foot in any petri dish school come September and neither will any of his cronies. They are finally being exposed for the hypocrites and scum that they are.
I hope everyone calls the union like I did today to make a formal complaint about the unagreed to changes to our working conditions. I let them know I wanted it on record and declared I would be using the "unsafe working conditions" language from the contract as my reason for refusing to go in. The unorganized Monday sick out is what got us that "snow" day. Maybe we can do it again. Call and tell them you won't sacrifice yourself. I'll go back when dining in restaurants and seeing shows on Broadway starts happening. It's just a call I know and all the nay sayers will say it's a waste but imagine if 20,000 teachers declared they aren't going in? They can't call it a job action until it happens right? Maybe it won't have to happen when they see we are serious. Make the call.
So, $1600 dues and triple dues on retro days...Please somebody correct me if I'm misinterpreting something. We have a valid contract. Carranza sends an email with various contractual changes. Days later, Mulgrew sends an email, essentially stating he agreed to the changes without bringing an emergency vote to the members.
So, without a vote by the rank and file, the City of New York is essentially in violation of our contract. What is our legal recourse? Do they WANT us to strike- is that their endgame? Help me to understand what is happening here.
25,000 plus have requested the accommodation. What about everybody else? Get deathly ill? If ti unsafe for them, it is unsafe for me.
You duespayers, you had months to tell them "NO MORE." So here we go again, Now what? Wait till next June? Die before then? Infect your family? Keep complaining. I can tell they are really listening.
Contract? We should not be traveling to the building, we should not be going into the building. PERIOD. Don't worry about class schedule, prep time, 6 hours and 20 minutes vs 6 hours and 50 minutes. DO SOMETHING. Start emailing mulgrew and carranza and say we are not entering any building for the fall term. Start there.
And you all wonder why we are walked on every day. So much for the iron clad, oh so important uft contract.
WE COULD DIE. WAKE THE FUCK UP.
No big deal, ride the packed subways, go into tight classrooms with no air...Model Now Predicts 300,000 Deaths In U.S. https://politicalwire.com/2020/08/06/model-now-predicts-300000-deaths-in-u-s/ via
@politicalwire
Help me understand too!
How can our working conditions be changed just like that?
We were asked to pay it forward to those who needed paid parental leave. We were asked to pay it forward because those before us fought for benefits and working conditions we have today. Now, our very union is wiping out the gains made by those before us who fought for these rights long ago.
NO Mr. Mulgrew!
Membership has not been consulted. We know what comes after all of this. Our rights are null and void from this day forward.
There is NO Union left to save at that point.
I want to know how our Union's working conditions can be changed without membership input?
How is it that any teacher in need of a toilet brake will be forced to grovel to others for relief.
I want to know how special needs students will sit for 5.5 hours a day in a 6 foot box with attempts for isolation in the name of social distancing protocols? Are we to ignore their needs? NO
How is that safe for all others forced into unsafe environments?
No indoor restaurants, but students can take mask off indoors in a crowd and eat? With a teacher being at risk?
I went to a doctor appointment today and had to wait about an hour and half. I was literally dying wearing my mask that long in an air conditioned office. It is unbelievably cruel to all us to be expected to do this. 7 hours? Plus travel?
PSAL Sports Season Delayed Indefinitely, New York City Says
By Jillian Jorgensen New York City
PUBLISHED 6:00 PM ET Aug. 06, 2020
Student athletes won't take the field this fall, with the city education department announcing Thursday that the Public School Athletic League (PSAL) season is being delayed indefinitely.
What You Need To Know
The start of the PSAL season is delayed until further notice
The move comes as state health department guidance doesn’t allow for interscholastic sports due to the pandemic
When sports do return, many will require modifications to be played safely
The delay applies to all PSAL sports, from cross country track to wrestling, and comes as New York City grapples with how to keep students and staff safe when schools partially reopen next month.
Positive Coronavirus Cases Will Trigger 14-Day Classroom or School Closures, City Says
State health guidelines still do not permit interscholastic sports, and the statewide league for schools outside previously delayed its start by about a month.
When interscholastic sports do return to schools, they will require modifications. The city has divided sports into three levels of risk. Some, like bowling or golf, can be resume with few changes, like social distancing and cleaning equipment between uses.
But close-contact sports with few barriers between players — such as football or wrestling — would require much more significant modifications.
Dear UFT President Michael Mulgrew,
I am a 34 year member of the United Federation of Teachers. This morning I received an email from you informing me—and the other 77,000 or so UFT members—that you unilaterally agreed to drastic changes of our working conditions. Those working conditions were voted on by the rank and file members of the union that you were elected to represent. They cannot be changed by you or by the city without another rank and file vote by the members. That has not occurred.
I represent 110 staff members in a school, and I need to protect those members’ rights, from a disease, from a Mayor who is willing to send us back into harm’s way and now, apparently, from my own union. And I will do so.
I am linking our current, legally enforceable UFT contract, for your review. I am also including the email you sent this morning entitled “Your Work Day If School Buildings Reopen”
It is interesting to note, that these very same revisions that you agreed to, were sent out to principals by the Chancellor’s office a week ago, I am linking the video of the Chancellor’s Presentation to the principals, dated July 30th. I was presented with these revisions by my own principal two days ago.
Why is it we, your union members, only hear from you today?
When did these negotiations take place? Who was on those committees? Why were none of these new conditions brought to your members for a vote? Why did the principals know about this a week before your members?
As UFT President you do not have the right to change our contract without a vote by your members. If we are forced to work under these conditions, we will be forced to resist.
With or without you.
Many will claim that teachers in New York City cannot strike, because of the Taylor Law. Well under the Tri-Borough Amendment of the Taylor Law, if our contract expires, we continue to work under the conditions of that expired contract until a new one is approved by the union’s membership. The City of New York, will be violating our contract’s working conditions if these “agreed” upon changes go into effect. UFT members will have no choice but to engage in job actions. They may include any and all of the following:
1. Working to the letter of our CURRENT CONTRACT
2. ALL of the UFT members working remotely, and none of us showing up in the physical buildings
3. Mass sickouts
4. A strike
5. Class action lawsuits against the NYCDOE and The UFT for contract violations
If we strike under the Taylor law, we will lose two days pay for every one day we are out of work. Our union will be fined one million dollars a day, and the union leaders will be arrested.
Due to the health risk of the Coronavirus pandemic, many union members are prepared for that. More will be, the closer we get to the reopening of school.
There is also the unfortunate option, of union members defunding the union, until we get real representation during this crisis. Under the Janus decision, we are all VOLUNTARILY paying union dues. If we are not represented by our leadership, then we have no leadership.
I would urge you to reconsider your email today and this “agreement” you entered without the voice or consent of your union members.
Put these proposed changes TO A VOTE. Now.
Represent your members.
Sincerely,
Michael Flanagan, Ed.D.
UFT Chapter Leader, District 10 the Bronx.
Teachers are the dumbest in NY...But have $1600 of dues money to burn...While accepting 1% raises by huge majority...While letting the city hold our money for 11 years with no interest...Then get led to their death during the worst medical crisis in over 100 years.. And that union we pay allows it and endorses it.
With Cuomo's announcement supposedly coming soon, let's think about what would happen if he says that schools will open. What's our plan? How would you get ready for it? Those of us that don't qualify for medical accommodations would have no choice but to go in. What is the best way to get ready for the school year? I know that we have a lot of uncertainties but we could at least brainstorm different materials (masks, shields, etc.) that we can start to get in order to protect ourselves. We all know that DOE won't provide us with everything that we need in order to stay safe.
Are we all saying that we will not enter?
Dear Mr. Mulgrew,
Today is my birthday. My 53rd. I woke with the confidence that you are fighting for our safety and for our quality of life as NYC teachers. I believed you when you said in our town hall a few weeks ago that because remote and in-person teachers must be in “lockstep”, we would need extra co-planning time and that you were advocating for four periods of instruction and then to send the kids home, giving teachers the rest of the day for co-planning. If there must be mask-to-mask teaching, that made some sense. But today I woke up to this letter from you and all I can feel is bereft; abandoned; hopeless.
For the four months we were teaching remotely, I spent close to an hour a day contacting families and several hours a day tracking down students who for myriad reasons were not attending my office hours or synchronized classes. Now I have 20 minutes. I will have 30 minutes of “prep” to co-plan with colleagues in the morning. 30 minutes is barely enough to set an agenda, as you may recall. It certainly is not enough to plan in “lockstep”. I will be expected to teach straight through the day, and if I am an art teacher or something similar, I am expected to teach in a classroom full of kids without masks who are focused on their lunches and their friends. If I am not one of the unlucky teachers trying to instruct while kids eat, then I get to walk back into a room where aerosols are hanging in the air, as per the University of Minnesota research. Then I get to bring home all of the droplets I have walked through and breathed through my NOT N-95 MASK, risking everyone in my household, and use my other 30 minutes of prep (plus countless hours) to actually plan, grade, co-plan, and prepare.
Even in New York, adults can’t wear masks consistently. We know kids won’t. But now we’re giving them time without masks. Don’t you see how that will undermine everything else? If they can have masks off while eating while we teach, then there is zero reason for them to wear masks the rest of the time when we teach.
In short, my teaching day is longer, my preps are shorter, and I AM NOT SAFE. No day is safe when there is time spent with people who are not wearing masks. It’s that simple.
Please, this is not acceptable. Not even close. Please walk this back. Save our lives and those of our families and our students’ families.
Sincerely,
Rachel Piven
Maybe nothing is getting done because UFT VP Janella Hinds tweets about "bad" cops all day.
Chicago Public Schools Reverse Course, Plan to Start Year With Full Remote Learning
The announcement from one of the largest public school systems in the country comes after city officials said last month they would employ a hybrid model to reopen schools.
They have the 2nd worst mayor, we have the worst, I guess.
Down goes NYC PSAL Sports
Good evening PSAL community,
We hope you and your family are doing well. As the pandemic continues to severely impact our communities, the PSAL would like to first recognize the difficulty and uncertainty of the times and also acknowledge that returning to normal activity will not be easy. We recognize the importance of sports to our scholar-athletes along with the rest of the PSAL community and are working diligently to provide athletics in accordance with all health and safety policies. While we are anxious to reconvene PSAL activities, the health and safety of our athletes is our top priority and sports programming will not return until it is safe to do so.
As an organization within the DOE, all PSAL reopening decisions will be in lockstep with DOE guidance and in accordance with state guidelines. It has been made explicit by the New York State Department of Health that interscholastic sports are not permitted at this time. Based upon these factors and guidance available, we are postponing the start of the Fall season, which historically begins in mid-August. As we prioritize the health and safety of our community and support the city in focusing our attention on school reopening, we will continue to monitor all available information from our various governing bodies and associated health experts to determine an appropriate date to resume PSAL activities. We will provide more detailed information in the near future. The guidelines that will be put in place will need to be flexible as we all adapt to the changes resulting from this ongoing pandemic.
Thank you,
PSAL
Why?
Do what you want when you want?
Are you going to go the prison if you don't give 30 days notice? I don't know you and this individual comment is not personally addressed to you. teacher tend to be fearful people who are afried of authority.
( So they become the authority---- ie the only adult in a group of children)
Again not a personal observation about you. A general macro observation and not just nycdoe teachers , same with teachers in Scarsdale and summit NJ jmho .
This is why uft and mulgrew can treat us this way . We are sheep who will follow
340 pm why do you have one day to decide. Do what is best for you and your family.Why?
Do what you want when you want?

Teachers can not allow Mulgrew to usurp more power and do as he pleases. He’s totally disrespected the entire rank and file to please deBlasio. It’s time to march on 52 Broadway, protest and demand some type of response. I’m still in shock and I know I shouldn’t be - he’s been deBlasio’s bitch for sometime now. Hey Solidarity, show real courage and start a petition seeking his resignation, not deBlasio’s sock puppet Carranza. This bullshit cannot stand or there is no union, only Mulgrew - he’s making your decisions, because he’s been unchallenged by the rank and file since he was given the throne by Weingarten. And btw, what’s that bitch have to say about her boy’s actions?
Verdict...Scabs are smart. I won't be fooled again.
I would love to see opposition caucuses formally propose a resolution to support Hannah Watters, the-15 year-old student whistle-blower who was suspended for documenting the unsafe conditions in her Georgia high school this week.
Dear Mr. Mulgrew,
Your latest email to the UFT rank and file was an absolute travesty. I don't even know where to begin.
I don't know who you think you are or who Bill da Bozo thinks he is, but none of you have any right whatsoever to unilaterally change the terms of the UFT contract without our input.
Your actions are not those of a leader, they are those of a sell out.
I don't know what agenda you're serving, but at this point, I'm sure it's nefarious. If you think for one second that teachers are going to continue to go along with these inane plans that you and the DOE are peddling, then you're even more delusional than I thought.
I am delighted that I opted out this past May. You and your cronies don't deserve a single penny!
This is what I wrote to Michael and got a response from one of the Borough reps.
Dear Michael,
Please read this. http://iceuftblog.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-sample-teacher-program-make-mockery.html
Why is the DOE being allowed to basically walk all over our contract like this? Why aren't we preparing to teach for full remote when it is the safest possible thing to do instead of wasting time and money on hybrid models that do not guarantee everyone's safety but instead make staff and students an experiment like Dr. Fauci said we would become in an interview not too long ago? When I read some of the stuff that is going on with the DOE and UFT, I sit in front of my computer just shaking my head in disbelief. Doesn't our contract clearly state that no UFT member should have to work in an unsafe environment? I'm sure you have heard this already but if it's not safe for indoor dining and large gatherings, how could it really be safe for people to return to school buildings? None of this makes sense.
Response from Boro rep:
Hello _________,
Thank you for contacting the UFT. Michael sent an email earlier today to members explaining the status of negotiations for if we are eventually able to open in some fashion in-person. You can read this email here: http://view.uftmail.org/?qs=6153f42f70213ed92eec7a1a6c0837eb2f7749c96a49e16e0f6930baccd27c040843dffb45cdff2bad3ce692864a3be620d0ed80237d65e8a5c21ade31be5bbee7cd642887e9ec7f27cfdabce538cf89
As Michael states in the email, this does not mean that a decision has been made about returning in person for September nor whether or not we believe it is safe to do so. At present, the plan includes lunch in the classroom because it allows for social distancing in a way that large crowds in a cafeteria does not. However, again, every classroom will have to have a working ventilation system and every school building is going to be inspected by a team from the UFT’s Health and Safety Department before any possible in-person reopening. There is much work to be done still and Michael continues to push the DOE on all of these fronts. I believe he is planning another Town Hall for next week where he will update the membership on the most up to date information.
Thank you again for reaching out.
My response: Thank you for your response. I read that letter earlier today and the question that lingers in my mind after reading it is how can the UFT change the contract like that without the vote of the UFT members? Last time I checked we vote on contracts before anything is agreed upon

UFT
To Union Officer:
I am employed by New York City Department of Education.
Effective immediately, I resign from membership in the UFT and all of its affiliated unions. The United States Supreme Court decided in Janus v. AFSCME (2018) that public employees cannot be compelled to fund a union without clear and affirmative consent. I object to paying any further union dues, fees, or assessments. I demand a refund of any prepaid dues to which I am entitled. This letter is also notice that I hereby revoke any agreement in place to automatically deduct union dues, fees or assessments from my earnings or from any of my accounts or to charge such fees on my credit card. Any further collection of dues or fees from me will violate my rights.
If any of the instructions above cannot be accommodated at this time, I demand instructions in writing on how I may exercise my right to end membership and cease payments. If you refuse to accept this letter as an effective resignation and effective dues check-off revocation, promptly inform me in writing on how I may resign union membership and revoke dues check-off authorization.

From Mulgrew's letter:
Your work day will be six hours and 50 minutes, though you will only have to be in the building for six hours and 20 minutes each day. Some elements will remain the same, such as a duty-free lunch, but we were able to persuade the DOE to adjust the regular schedule — and eliminate the 155 minutes of extended time — to give you more time to plan instruction and connect with families.
From the contract:
Unless modified through a School-Based Option (“SBO”) pursuant to Article 8B, the following shall apply to Teachers in Single Session Schools:
(1) The school day shall be 6 hours and 20 minutes Monday through Friday.
(2) On Mondays and Tuesdays, the day shall start no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and end no later than 4:00 p.m. The parties have agreed to repurpose the one hundred fifty (150) minutes per week of extended time and all faculty and grade conference time be used instead as follows:
(a) On Mondays when school is in session there will be an 80-minute block of Professional Development immediately following the conclusion of the school day. Professional Development shall be collaboratively developed by a school based committee as set forth below in section b of this section B(1). If less than the entire 80- 18 minute period is taken up by Professional Development activities, then the time will be utilized for Other Professional Work as set forth below.
(b) On Tuesdays when school is in session there will be a 75-minute block immediately following the conclusion of the school day that consists of 40-minutes for Parent Engagement activities as set forth below in section c of this section B(1), immediately followed by a 35 minute block of time for Other Professional Work as set forth section d of this section B(1). If less than the entire 40-minute block of time is taken up by Parent Engagement activities, then the time will be utilized for Other Professional Work as set forth Section D of this Article.
(c) On Wednesday through Friday, the day shall begin no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and end no later than 3:45 p.m. (d) On citywide professional development days the workday shall be 6 hours and 50 minutes.
Do you like the schedule or not like the schedule?
I like teaching five periods a day, not six. I like not having four teaching periods in a row so I can pee.Go away you Mulgrew sycophant.
There have been many contractual changes and MOA that have not been voted on by the membership That precedent has been set. Best chance for reprieve now is to hope Cuomo is planning one more rude surprise for deblathero
Do we get the dental prescription and optical if we opt out of the $1600 dues?
You can't opt out until next June. If you can't do some basic reading to figure out the city pays for drugs and dental and eyeglasses, th UFT just administers it, you really deserve Mulgrew. Vote em out, don't opt out.
