Dear Supporter,

We are dedicated teachers working at ASPIRA charter schools in Philadelphia.  We have been striving to form a union at our schools to help us better advocate for our students and ourselves.  In order to ensure our effort to have more input in our school is successful, we need your help.

We are proud to be a part of ASPIRA; an organization which has dedicated itself to helping the communities of North Philadelphia since 1969. ASPIRA’s mission has been to bring unity and empowerment to the community, to instill in each citizen a sense of value and self-worth. The staff at ASPIRA is asking for that same respect and support as we exercise our legal right to form a union. 

We deserve a peaceful and unobstructed pathway to union recognition free from threats, intimidation, and the waste of valuable resources. Our success in the classroom requires that ASPIRA value us as professionals and include our voices in decisions that affect our students and community.

 Please stand with us in asking ASPIRA to respect our decision to form a union. 

 Respectfully yours,

Hanako Franz, Olney Charter High School
