The 2019 Virginia teachers' walkout (also known as RedForEd)[1][2][3][4] 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. Crowd sizes have been estimated between 2,500 and 3000 people. While this action coincided with Virginia Education Association lobby day, it was a grassroots organization of classroom teachers who organized the walkout.
The walkout was influenced in part of the larger wave of teachers' strikes in the United States,[5] especially in the wake of the teacher's strike in Los Angeles.[6]
