MORE Takes on School Closings

Standing in solidarity with parents, students, and teachers in closings schools, MORE members took on the Panel for Educational Policy this week.  Read more about the protest and how our union leadership failed to mobilize.

Check out great videos of the speakers and hear MORE's James Eterno speak out against the closings on NY1
For more background on the PEP, check out Liza Featherstone's great analysis.

 

Please share MORE's campaign video...
