Teachers across AZ stage "motor marches "

Teachers started to roll into Encanto Park in Phoenix at 6 p.m. Wednesday. On their cars they'd scrawled “I’d rather see your kids on a laptop than a ventilator,” “teachers are not martyrs,” and “AZ #1 in COVID.”

They were among dozens, if not hundreds, of educators getting behind the wheel to participate in "motor marches" across Arizona on Wednesday evening. The community marches signify a new teacher movement rising, as they protest reopening schools for in-person classes as the number of COVID-19 cases remain high in Arizona.
