LA Teachers Put Real Reformers on the Offense. Can that happen here in NYC?

Below are the links with news coverage of the Occupy LAUSD Campaign. As you can see every major news station covered the event. We are changing the debate about education funding, school change, and Privatization of Education. It is time WE take the offense.I have spent the past two nights at Occupy LAUSD and had some great company from fellow educators. Other than LA School Police try to intimidate us into leaving on the first night (LAPD and School Police personally came to apologize to us the next day), we have had a great time talking about improving the quality of education for our students.Every night we have had a new group of people join us for our nightly conversations. Some stay until late to support, others have come by to drop off food donations, and others pitch up a tent and stay with us the night. We appreciate all the support we have received.We are part of a growing movement that is sick and tried of corporate greed that underfunds our schools and pushes school “reform”. We are part of the 99% who are standing up to Wall Street.I would like to ask everyone who reads this to please come out for at least a couple of hours after work if you cannot join the Camp-out. If you can stay the night, even for one night, it would be great!Lastly, Don’t forget to visit our Facebook, Twitter, and Website for all the latest information:Warmly,Jose LaraSocial Justice Educator &Central Area ChairNews for Occupy LAUSDMaestros acampan frente al LAUSDLa Opinion"Occupy LAUSD" March Hits Downtown LANBC LAHundreds Join "Occupy" Protest at LAUSD HeadquartersFox 11Occupy movement rallies at L.A. school district headquartersL.A.
