Figure out some way to get out there because Stronger Together is the statewide opposition to Michael Mulgrew's Unity Caucus and MORE, the main UFT opposition to Unity, will be part of it too. It's a great team.Jia's campaign was highlighted this morning in POLITICO NY's EDUCATION DAY:
"THAT OTHER 2016 RACE—United Federation of Teachers president Michael Mulgrew is up for re-election this spring and, as in previous years, he’ll have a challenger from the opt-out movement. This year, Jia Lee, a UFT chapter leader at the Earth School in Manhattan will run against Mulgrew. Lee is an active member of the opt-out movement and raised a resolution for a vote of no confidence against State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia last year. "OPT-OUT LEADER TO CHALLENGE MULGREW FOR UFT PRESIDENT
Interesting that the press is framing Jia's candidacy as opt-out vs Mulgrew.
I'm speaking to a reporter tomorrow about the issue.
