The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the working poor and communities of color especially hard in Houston. This is especially true for school bus drivers and support personnel who have transported students to school, provided healthy meals and cleaned schools that have COVID-19 hotspots this past year. Many workers and their families have died or still suffer from long-term complications from COVID-19.

We may never know all their names but HESP demands our community honor their commitment to our community and their legacy. This event featured special guest speakers and a balloon release at 2 p.m. to remember our fallen school support heroes and George Floyd.

Sunday, May 30th 1 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., balloon release at 2 p.m.

Adair Park, 15107 Cullen Blvd. Houston, Texas

Members of the HESP Union (school bus drivers, food service attendants and building custodians.), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Rep. Al Green and state representative Ron Reynolds.
