2019 Virginia teachers' walkout
# 2019 Virginia teachers' walkout

The 2019 Virginia teachers' walkout (also known as RedForEd) is a teachers' walkout and protest that began on January 28, 2019, with teachers in Virginia walking out in protest of low school budgets and low teacher wages outside of Northern Virginia.

## Background

The walkout was influenced in part of the larger wave of teachers' strikes in the United States, especially in the wake of the teacher's strike in Los Angeles.

## Response

The Virginia House of Delegates' leadership proposed in the 2019–20 fiscal budget a five percent pay raise for teachers across the Commonwealth.
