Fund us so that we can continue to build our union and be able to fully address the needs and issues that students in Newark go through on a daily basis. 


OUR DEMANDS ARE:
1.The immediate removal of Cami Anderson and a democratically elected superintendent that faces the community, works in the best interest of the community and can have a genuine discussion stripped away of the State's political and corporate agendas.
2. A confirmation made to the Newark Students Union by Cami Anderson to attend the upcoming Board meeting on the 24th of this month. WE WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL A CONFIRMATION IS MADE. Face the community, stop lying to the media.. you have YET to present yourself and engage in a honest process. ‪#‎ournewark‬



About

The Newark Students Union is an organization founded by and for Newark students with the goals of protecting student rights, ensuring we receive a quality education, and empowering the student voice in the political process.

We the students of the NPS, in order to establish and protect or rights, form student unity, voice our concerns and grievances, promote active participation in the policy making process, and to secure the integrity of our education for ourselves and for future students do establish the Newark Students Union. 

For too long, the policies that have been put into effect or are in being proposed have or plan to do nothing to fully address the needs and issues that students in Newark go through on a daily basis. For too long we as students are just being told to let the system solve its problems but at the same time, the same problems they try to solve are the same ones we're being forced to endure for the sake of a better education. If we as students are supposed to reach our highest potential, then we as students should have the right to have a form of representation so we can truly achieve our fullest potential and be the next leaders of the world, and that is why we are staring the Newark Students Union. The revolution starts now!!!
