Previous Events
Unite Summit Art Builds
In ramping up efforts to put pressure on SPS for a fair contract for Summit school communities, we held 2 art builds during school year 2021-22 with the support of David Solnit and SF Poster Syndicate in creating strike ready art for our schools. We were supported by members of our communities — parents, students, teachers, families, community supporters — and inspired by the messages they had in support of our union.
School Walk-Ins
Unite Summit held 2 walk-ins during the 2021-22 school year: December 3rd, Unite Summit’s 2 year anniversary since formal recognition and May 10th, the fact-finding hearing date. The walk-ins were held across the seven California Summit school sites to demonstrate solidarity for a fair contract.
By the end of the day on May 10th, Unite Summit and SPS had reached a tentative agreement on our CBA. We are incredibly proud of the ways in which our communities showed up and supported our union’s advocacy for better schools.
