ATTN: @DonorsChoose has a global 50% or more match going for next 1 1/2hrs, and I am here to raise money for low-income OAKLAND schools, where teachers are on strike, joined by other Bay Area teachers. Ready? LET'S DO THIS: (cc @wkamaubell @lmc)
Little kids need books. This gets done for $214. Just chip in what you can: donorschoose.org/project/librar…
Alright, @DonorsChoose still has a insanely pesky caching issue, but we're down to $180 left to go, maybe less. Come on folks, we only have an hour and a half, we gotta get these done quick.
i mean, wtf donorschoose.org/project/librar… 
only need $134
GREAT JOB PEOPLE WE ARE JUST GETTING GOING
Ok, here's a middle school in Oakland where a teacher is smartly helping her ESL and reluctant readers get into books via graphic novels. WE CAN DO THIS donorschoose.org/project/our-li…
I know everyone is jamming to the new Solange album but i feel very confident in saying that Solange wants you to help these awesome teachers fighting to get basic supplies to their POC kids. We need ~$600. Every bit helps esp w/ big match
I mean...donorschoose.org/project/our-li…
Listen: It is insane that teachers all over the country are striking because not only are they paid so low, but also they've prioritized basic supplies and lower class sizes over their OWN DAMN SALARIES. We need bigger structural fixes, but rn, you can help these Oakland teachers
Alright, we've cut the amount needed down to $329. GREAT WORK. donorschoose.org/project/our-li…
SIDEBAR: California used to have the best public schools in the country. Until Prop 13 tax revolt essentially froze the property taxes which is (dumbly, unfairly) the mechanism to fund schools. Now CA is 41st in nation, spending far too little per pupil....
So ESP if you live in CA, and own a home, open your wallet. Because you should have been paying far more. Also better schools have innumerable benefits to greater community and society. We only need ~$200 more donorschoose.org/project/our-li…
Here is a very awesome comment from someone who just gave. Every bit helps. (also you will get awesome thank you notes from teachers and kids)
Only need another $138...
GREAT JOB EVERYBODY!!!
This teacher is asking for a vacuum for the whole school. I can't even that they have to ask for things like this. Hey, we've bought W/D sets for other schools, we can get a damn vacuum. Need $247 donorschoose.org/project/keepin…
Ok, somebody beat me to that one! Hang on...
Black history month ends in 48 minutes. I think we can agree it has...not been an ideal celebration. Let's get these kids the books they need and make up for the crap of last 28 days in a small way: donorschoose.org/project/black-…
YOWZA. Ok, hang on for the next one...

Grrrr. This teacher's school is being merged with another and $0 in budget for library books, so she's going for e-books. This is a big lift; $1000. We have 13 min with the match. donorschoose.org/project/strong…
Need $861 to go, we have another 8 min when the match applies...
I know it's just a few insomniacs who are still up, but you'll sleep better if you pitch in donorschoose.org/project/strong…
Alright insomniacs and (maybe) Hawaiians and Alaskans, I'm going to bed and hope that the East Coast gets this done by the time I wake up. Signal boosters welcome: donorschoose.org/project/strong…
