Take a Stand! (http://www.defendeducation.org/)
Michigan Speaking Tour to Build the
March 4 National Day of Action to Defend Education
Feb 1 - 5
featuring Larry Hales, national organizer for March 4 and FIST
Are you tired of the attacks on education? Sick of budget cuts, tuition hikes, evictions and foreclosures? Sick of billions going to wars and bank bailouts!
On March 4, 2010, students and workers across the United States will take action to defend education against increased privatization of K-12 schools and budget cuts, layoffs, furloughs, tuition increases and student loan debt.
Last fall California students took bold action, occupying a number of universities including the Univ. of Calif. - Berkeley and San Francisco State. The action and energy from California have sparked the interest of many across the U.S., who then reached out to California student-workers to make their March 4 statewide day of action a national day.
Meet Larry Hales, March 4 organizer from Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST). Discuss your experiences and the fightback against the cuts, layoffs, fee hikes, and the re-segregation of public education. Learn how you can get involved. There will also be discussion about the upcoming U.S. Social Forum in Detroit June 22-26 (www.ussf2010.org (http://www.ussf2010.org/)) and how youth/students are organizing for this exciting event.
