Who We AreWe
are a network of progressive public school employees, parents, students
and allies who believe that public education should be democratic,
well-funded, and community-supported. We are opposed to the
privatization of public education that is occurring at a rampant rate in
the United States today. We use a list serve and website to keep
ourselves updated on current issues in public education. We meet with
others in a safe space for discussion of topics such as contracts under
question, the lack of democracy in decision making in the education
system, budget cuts, increases in class size, furloughing and reductions
in force. We are a resource space for people interested in bringing
more unity and action to the struggle to save public education.
