 public education threatens the destruction of edu- \ncation to all working 
 people in California. Millions of students \nand education workers are 
 being drastically affected from fur- \nloughs and layoffs to massive 
 increases in fees making it impos- \nsible for working class and poor 
 students from going to school. \nIn urban and poor working class school 
 districts teachers are \nfacing cutbacks on their healthcare and benefits 
 while there is a \nlarge increase in the size of the classes making 
 education even \nmore difficult. At the same time the administrators are 
 pushing \nprivatization and charter schools as the solution. \nThis forum 
 will have education workers and students as well as \ntrade unionists from 
 other industries. The March 4, 2010 day \nof action to defend public 
 education is not just about education \nworkers and students but all 
 working people. \nMarch 4 Public Education General Trade Union Outreach
