Black Lives Matter

The Rochester Organization of Rank and File Educators (RORE) values and supports the needs of our students, their families, and their communities. As educators and unionists in Rochester, we see first hand how decades of racist policing and immoral policy decisions affect the youngest community members. A partnership between the RCSD and the RPD further perpetuates systematic racism, the school-to-prison pipeline, and increased trauma for our youth. Like others who have begun to speak up, we have had enough. 

RORE believes that Black Lives Matter. We will continue, alongside our union sisters and brothers, to stand in solidarity against systemic racism. We demand justice and equity for our students and their families. An injury to one is an injury to all!
