 Sit-in Protest To Reverse Closures of Oakland Public SchoolsWHEN: Beginning 
 Friday, June 15 at 1:00 p.m. PSTWHO: Teachers, parents, students, allies, 
 and all who believe in public education\nAt the end of this school year, 
 the Oakland Unified School District plans to close five public elementary 
 schools and hand children’s school buildings over to private charter 
 schools and district administration offices. Hundreds of the displaced 
 students have been placed by the district in elementary schools that are 10 
 miles away, and the school district has offered no guarantee that 
 transportation will be provided for families. In response…\nOakland 
 Parents and Teachers Are Sitting-in to Keep Neighborhood Schools Open!\n We 
 Need Your Support!!!\nOn June 15th, after the last day of school, Oakland 
 parents and teachers will sit in at Lakeview Elementary demanding that the 
 district keep all neighborhood schools open. The district has not listened 
 to lawsuits, pleas from parents and teachers, or protests. We know the 
 money exists, but still they insist on closing flatland schools serving 
 predominantly black and brown children. We say no more excuses! We’re 
 keeping the schools open the last way left to us, by sitting-in. But we 
 cannot do this alone. We need your support! Demand the district and the 
 politicians give us full funding for quality education in neighborhood 
 public schools. Join the fight for our kids’ futures!\nWe demand:\n* 
 Don’t Close the 5 Schools! Keep All Neighborhood Schools Open! 
 Children’s Needs Before Administration’s!\n* Stop Attacks on Teachers 
 and School Workers! Teacher Conditions=Student Conditions.\n* Refuse to Pay 
 the Unjust State Debt!\n* Fully Fund Quality Public Education for All 
 Students!\nSupport the People’s School for Public Education:\nFriday 6/15
