Los Angeles: Defeat the Charter Combine!
FROM THE DESK OF JACKIE GOLDBERG
Dear Friends and Family,
First, I cannot thank each and every one of you enough for all you’ve done to support me over so many years. And I have another personal request for each of you because you are all important in the struggles for full funding for public education and for progressive goals in civil rights, human rights, immigration rights and addressing the global climate crisis.
This request is not for my candidacy.
It is a request for the immediate future of the LAUSD school board. In the March 2020 primary election, there are two school board candidates for the LAUSD School Board that I am asking you to support. They are current Board Member Scott Schmerelson and Board District #7 candidate Patricia Castellanos.
Unless BOTH are elected either in the March primary in the November general election, my ability to bring progressive change will be severely restricted. Right now there is a 4 to 3 pro-public education majority on the school board. But all four are up for election in 2020 and we don’t have a vote to spare.
Luckily, Board Member Dr. McKenna has no opponent. I have a fairly weak opponent, but charter proponents have already spent $250,000 in attack ads against me.
So the only chance the conservatives have of retaking the majority is to defeat Mr. Schmerelson, or by electing someone other than Ms. Castellanos in Board District 7.
PLEASE HELP ONE OR BOTH OF THESE EXCELLENT CANDIDATES WIN THEIR ELECTIONS. HERE IS HOW:
