DESCRIPTION:Labor, Privatization And How To Defend Public Education\nBillionaires from 
 the Walton Walmart family to the Gates Foundation, the Fisher GAP KIPP 
 operation and the Broad Foundation are spending fortunes pushing charters 
 to loot public education. The “Common Core” and testing schemes 
 profiting Pearson Inc. are part of the drive to totally privatize public 
 education. UC Regent Richard Blum and others with ties to politicians are 
 also benefiting financially from this transformation. Politicians in 
 California and nationally are actively supporting privatization, the 
 “Common Core” and charters to eliminate and re-segregate our public 
 schools.\n At the same time in San Francisco privatizers are seeking to 
 revoke accreditation of the City College of San Francisco in order to 
 destroy the unions and privatize the largest community college in 
 California.\n This forum will look at how this privatization agenda is 
 being implemented and what our unions and the labor movement need to do to 
 fight it.\n Speakers:\n Kathleen Carroll, fired Commission On Teacher 
 Credentialing, attorney & whistleblower; Rick Baum, member of CCSF AFT 
 Local 2121; George Wright, retired Professor AFT 1493; Gray Brechin, UCB 
 Geography Department, Author of “Imperial San Francisco”; Sharon 
 Higgins, researcher on privatization and Gulen charter chain\n Sponsored by 
 United Public Workers For Action \nSee also:\nhttp://www.upwa.info
