Stop Privatization in California!
It’s not too late to save public education in California! With Eli Broad and his fellow billionaires poised to privatize education in Los Angeles, it is time to say NO! Join the campaign to repeal the charter law in California.
Join Voices Against Privatizing Public Education’s efforts to repeal the California charter school law
There is a small grass-roots group that has been working diligently to create a ballot proposition to repeal the charter school laws. While a seemingly daunting task, there might not ever be another chance to do this before the privatizers eliminate public schools altogether (Eli Broad just announced his plans to cut LAUSD’s public schools in half). The group has an online petition that now has over 600 signatures. They also have a facebook group. (Open the link.)

Voices Against Privatizing Public Education
Most importantly, they have picked up a handful of key labor leaders and organizations:
AFT Local 6161 (Palomar Faculty Federation)
North County Labor Alliance
Escondido Public School Advocates
Bill Freeman- NEA Board member for California
Alita Blanc- United Educators of San Francisco
The coalition is working hard to get several more organizations on board, including local Democratic party clubs in several large cities. Please consider getting involved, and perhaps even endorsing the efforts of the group.Stop Privatization in California! | Diane Ravitch's blog:
