    Here is my problem:
    all over British Columbia, students are staging walkouts and rallies over the teacher-government dispute, but there is no organization. Schools are walking out on different days and nobody really knows what exactly they are protesting for. In my school, we staged a large improptu walkout yesterday. But there wasn't a single person in charge, and nobody knew what to do so I ended up directing it without any preparation. I am trying to find a way to get people from each school together to pull off an organised walkout but I don't know how. We need to all be on the same page as eachother, and we need to make sure that we get the message out. Does anyone know how I could go about forming an organisation of student representatives and getting all the schools to work together? I don't know what to do, but I know that I have to do SOMETHING. If we don't, the media will keep treating these walkouts as a bunch of little, confused events that don't matter. I know that there are people on here that have experience with this kind of thing. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly apprectiated. I know that there are enough upset people out there to make the government listen if we all just pulled together!
    hasta la VICTORIA siempre!

    Get some kids from each school together to plan to have all of the walkouts on the same damn day, and as close to the same time as possible. Make lists of phone numbers for the local media and have all the kids call on their cell phones at the same time.
