YOU CAN SIGN LETTER TO JUDGE TO SUPPORT LAWSUIT TO GO REMOTE IN NYC FOR JANUARY 3-17

Yesterday, a candidate for United for Change, Lydia Howrilka, filed an Article 78 proceeding in NYC Civil Court protesting the reopening of NYC schools without adequate testing, mitigation measures, and allowing for a pivot of instruction to remote for January 3 to January 18, 2022. We have submitted the legal documents- a petition, a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), an affidavit, an Order to Show Cause (OSC), and a Request for Judicial Intervention (RJI)- and we are waiting for a judge to be assigned to our case.


Many folks have been reaching out to us and want to know how you can help support us. We think that a collective letter that we can send to the court with as many signatures as possible would be the best next step for members who want to support.


Important note- No teacher has been disciplined for signing a petition or letter when they are not on contracted time. It is not illegal to sign a letter or petition either. Your signature will only be seen by Lydia, the judge, and the City’s Corporation Counsel.

Hochul is not elected she is satan. Any mother who wants to mask 2-3 year olds are beyond insane.

UFT closed so late in march had teachers die with blood on their hands as well as the dickhead of the year diblasio. Now they want to stay open for a more minor flu like virus. WE going to shut schools down when the kids have the flu which has been around for everyone's life?

Hochul is Satan? That's such a stupid thing to say. She's more like a per diem sub.
