Hundreds of LAUSD staff members make a sea of red while huddling together in the rainy weather. A faculty member happily holds up a peace sign.
-
Teachers and faculty stand on Van Nuys with umbrellas in one hand, and picketing signs in the other. One reads: LAUSD: Let. All of. Us. Serve students with. Dignity.
-
At the green light, staff members use this opportunity as a way to wave their red banners to increase support for the strike.

Many recognizable faces stand smiling, while Mr. Rabago snaps a picture. Ms. Medrano clutches her dog, safely resting in her arms.

Our Goal
LAUSD's budget leaves the award-winning journalism program at Van Nuys High School with a $0 budget in the upcoming school year. Without YOUR support, The Mirror cannot cover its expenses, hurting students directly and putting something that took years to build at genuine risk of falling behind.
Please consider making a donation to cover other VNHS journalism program expenses this school year
