On Thursday, April 26th, we had a "Below Average BBQ" at District office sidewalk. We weren't happy with what the District offered us because it still does not bring us to average. So, we will be going through the impasse process. Until then, we eat cake!

























Tuesday, January 23rd, we kicked of our AEAnchors Campaign! Members came out in full force starting at Alameda Island Brewing Co. and 1400 Club as the meeting place for organizers to canvas the island. Our mission is to convince Alameda businesses and their customers to support our efforts in ongoing salary negotiations with the school district. AUSD salaries are the lowest in Alameda County!
