Season 2, Episode: 10: Educators' rai$ed hands 👋🏾 🙌🏾

from Closer to the People: An North Carolina Black Alliance Podcast · host marcomju

North Carolina's educators aren't furloughed like federal workers. But the way folks who work in our public schools are doing creative math in order to keep up with the cost of living, the insufficient funds in their paychecks kinda hit like a furlough. It's because state lawmakers won't pass a budget that even puts a salary increase on the table. Meet some of those educators in this edition of the "Closer to the People" podcast.
