From picket lines to mass marches, I covered the San Francisco Unified School District teachers’ strike — the first in nearly half a century. Over the course of the week, I contributed to local and national coverage, documenting the demands for fair pay, better student support, and the eventual resolution.
Here is a collection of my reporting on the ground:
