Zeovadis Tavarez-Polanco, an Albany Public Schools TA member, will be joining teachers from across the country this weekend for a “Teach-In for Freedom” in El Paso. The Teachers Against Child Detention event’s aim is to draw attention to the plight of thousands of migrant children being held in detention by the U.S. government and to call for their release. Tavarez, a fifth-grade bilingual teacher, is sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers. The teach-in will feature lessons and talks by educators from every state and will be broadcast on Facebook.
