SUMMARY:People's March for Education Justice - NYC
DESCRIPTION:When public education is under attack?\nWhat do we do?\nStand up fight back!\nOn March 4\, students\, teachers\, parents and community members across New York State will come together for the People’s March for Education Justice.\nWe’ll start at Trump Tower 725 5th Avenue and make our way to Governor Cuomo’s offices at 633 3rd Ave!​ ​\nAs we continue ​to defend public education ​\nfrom federal attacks by Donald Trump and ​Betsy ​\nDeVos\, we ​march to defend  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.\n·       We ​march to ​demand that Gov​ernor​\n Cuomo finally fully funds the $4.3 billion owed to public statewide as a result of the Campaign for Fiscal Equity​ including the $1.9 billion owed NYC​\n·       ​We march to Raise the Age  and end the ​\n​criminalization  of our youth​\, we should be able to provide social workers and other nurturing and committed support staff in schools for struggling youth\n·       We march to end the state’s over-reliance on high stakes testing\n·       We ​march to ​demand that NYS ​invests on the front end in​ childcare and pre-K and ​invests in truly making SUNY and CUNY free for all  ​on the back end in order to ensure successful transition to adulthood.\n·        ​\nWe march because we need a Governor in NYS who is not afraid to make the​ super rich​ pay​ just 1% more by extending and expanding the millionaire’s tax and closing corporate tax loopholes\, which could bring billions to fund high quality education for all and so much more.\n​\n·       We march because the rhetoric of\nGovernor Cuomo and Trump attacking public education ​is almost indiscernible as they both have\n called public schools “a monopoly” and\n​have both push school privatization through vouchers and privately-run charter schools.\n​We will be releasing more of our platform as we closer to the march. We only have until the end of March\, when the budget is finalized to have an impact.\n If you were inspired by the historic Womens March like we were\, march with us to answer the call for 10 Actions in 100 Days​
