People's March For Education Justice
On March 4, students, teachers, parents and community members across New York State will come together for the People's March for Education Justice. As we continue to defend the institution of public education from federal attacks by Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos, we march to defend that same institution here in New York from Governor Andrew Cuomo. The public investment he proposes in his education budget this year is woefully inadequate and falls way short of being equitable. It will negatively impact our most vulnerable students from early child care to higher education all across the state. Black, brown, immigrant, refugee, low-income, LGBTQIA, English Language Learners, homeless students and students with disabilities, are worthy of an investment that will meet their needs not deny them opportunities to be successful.
WE DEMAND:
Full & Fair funding for all Public Schools from Pre-K - College
Youth Justice: Solutions, not Suspensions & Raise the Age
Increase Access to Early Care and Learning Opportunities for Babies & Toddlers
End the State’s Over Reliance on High Stakes Testing
Protect Public Education: End of School Privatization
Support for Immigrant Students & Pass NYS Dream Act
Protect the Educational Rights of Students with Disabilities
If you were inspired by the historic Women's March like we were, march with us to answer the call for 10 Actions in 100 Days!
