SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Students and teachers at several Bay Area schools will take part in the National Day of Action Thursday morning.

At least two dozen schools in San Francisco are planning to protest. Other schools in the Bay Area that are participating include Oakland and Fremont.

Their main focus is to defend public education and to “show the incoming Trump administration that we will protect our students, our schools, and our communities,” according to the United Educators of San Francisco.

San Francisco schools want to remind parents especially immigrant parents with children that they will be protected.Stay with KRON4 News for updates
