Get involved with the Angry Education Workers

Who are the Angry Education Workers?

This is a project to gather a community of revolutionary education workers who want to chart a course towards a socialist education system. We want to build contacts between education workers around the world to become a platform for educators of all backgrounds and job roles to share workers’ inquiries, stories of collective action, labor strategy, theoretical reflections, and art. Neoliberal capitalism has annihilated so many of the tight knit communities that produced the most inspirational organizing of the 19th and 20th centuries. A crucial part of organizing against that social atomization of working people is to rebuild those community connections with the tools we have access to. We hope to be part of the solution here.

For that to happen, people need to get involved! So far, we have a small, but growing community behind the scenes that has helped to bring otherwise geographically disparate struggles in our industry together. For those of you subscribers who work in education (or adjacent fields) and have some form of revolutionary socialist politics, we encourage you to get involved in our community in one or more of the ways we list below.

The committment is low—if anything, we’re mainly here to help you develop and boost projects you already wanted to do, or are already underway with. You can just chatter away with people about shared interests, politics, and complaints about work. You can share art you’re working on, workshop pieces of writing, and help each other with research. You can help with internal organizing, such as community events. Whatever it is, hopefully our community can be of use.

If you want to get involved or have any questions, get in touch!

Discord

Our discord server is probably the most dynamic community space so far.

Reach out to our email for the invite link to the discord server.

Signal group chat

If you use the app Signal, we have a group chat there, too. Signal has the advantage of being a more secure, encrypted means of communication. You also now have the option of hiding your phone number in groups.

Reach out over our email to get the invite link for the Signal group.

Online Library

If you’re a big research nerd, this will be fun for you. The research tool Zotero offers group libraries, which we’ve used to compile our research in one place.

Podcasts

Podcasts are a great way to reach lots of people with political education. If you like doing podcasts related to education and revolutionary politics, we'd love to help give you a platform and promote your work.

Youtube

So far, nobody who makes or edits videos has participated in the community. If that changes, this youtube channel exists, and we can always make ones on vimeo or wherever else, too. In the meantime, we have a playlist of videos for self-education purposes you can view and add to.
