A BIG MESSAGE FROM LITTLE STEVEN
Being an educator has never been easy, but 2020 posed greater challenges than any schools have ever faced. And, as usual, teachers rose to the occasion. When schools shut down overnight, teachers rallied and moved classes online. But that's not all--like the essential workers they are, teachers continue to risk their health to serve students and families, be it to distribute tech to keep students connected, or meals to help families in need. Teachers are the plainclothes superheroes in our midst. They deserve to be heard and celebrated, and that's why we're going to Stand With Teachers on December 21st and we hope youâ€
Our hour-long event will feature performances from Eddie Vedder and Margo Price; special appearances by Steve Buscemi, Bobby Cannavale, Whoopi Goldberg, Melle Mel, Tom Morello, Edward Norton, Vincent Pastore, Maureen Van Zandt along with Trønd Fausa Aurvåg and Steinar Sagen of my show Lilyhammer, all to honor the dedication of educators who have helped students and families survive throughout 2020.
