Here's an after-action-report from running communications for the recent Kids Over Corporations teacher march and demonstration in Raleigh. I cover our use of push-to-talk-over-cellular radios for the event.

Super proud of the communications club we've been building with Triangle Mutual Aid in North Carolina. I keep having these experiences I didn't think new hams could have.

Op-ed: In the wake of violence, threats to teachers are also threats to NC public schools

"No educator should ever face harassment, violence, or doxxing, the sharing of private information for intimidation, for doing their job, and no student should ever sit in a classroom clouded by fear."

#WCPSS friends! Moms 4gainst Liberty is targeting teachers for pointing out the obvious that Charlie Kirk was a bigot. They feign outrage, passing out constitutions while asking the board to inflict state censorship by firing specific teachers. Stay around for the follow-up comment from Renee. Amazing counter.

We need the public to STAND UP at the next board meeting and demand basic constitutional rights for our teachers.

Welcome to my new Mastodon channel / profile! I started using Mastodon in April 2017 and setup an account on https://mastodon.cloud/@wfryer

Today I learned about the https://triangletoot.party/ Mastodon server / instance via StartHereSocial: https://jaz.co.uk/projects/startheresocial/

Specifically the US / North Carolina filter of the Americas page:
https://jaz.co.uk/projects/startheresocial/shs-americas/

I'm interested in more local networking within my city and state, so hoping this will be a good move!
