Milwaukee, February 17: Walk In For PUBLIC Schools

Posted on January 5, 2016 by wibailoutpeople

Parents, students, educators, and community members: Please join the MTEA and allies on Wednesday, February 17th at 7:00 a.m. to celebrate Milwaukee Public Schools and to stand up for public schools that welcome and serve all children. Public education supporters in cities around the nation will be also be walking in the same day.

We will gather in front of our public schools before the school day starts to chant, march and share information about how proposed school takeovers would hurt our students. We will also educate others about public community schools that we know are a better solution than handing schools over to private third party operators. Finally, we will walk in to the school collectively just before the start of the school day as a community.

RSVP or host a walk-in at a public school near you at the link below:

The Appalachian Workers Alliance (AWA) fights to build a stronger working class by uniting full and part time workers, including students and the unemployed. We are dedicated to struggling against oppression in all forms (Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, etc.), the fight against capitalism, and promoting a deep ecological viewpoint. AWA seeks to fully liberate central Appalachia from these means of social control by uplifting Appalachian history and culture while also pushing for the democratization of the region by putting its control directly into the hands of the working class. AWA is a non-sectarian organization and wants to help bring about and be a part of a truly mass movement of people.
