Last summer, we brought thousands of teachers to the SOS March & Rally in D.C.  This summer, teachers, parents, students and community activists are gathering again in the nation's capitol at the SOS People's Platform Convention. Join us to adopt a People's Principles on the most urgent issues facing public education.

Keynote Address; “Fire In The Ashes: Victims and Survivors, Kids and Teachers in Public Schools Under Siege — How Do We Fight Back?”

Jonathan Kozol – Educator, Writer, Activist...
“If you grow up in the South Bronx today or in south-central Los Angeles or Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, you quickly come to understand that you have been set apart and that there’s no will in this society to bring you back into the mainstream. The kids have eyes and they can see, and they have ears and they can hear. Kids notice that no politicians talk about this. Nobody says we’re going to make them less separate and more equal. Nobody says that.”
