DESCRIPTION:Profiteering From Education: Charters, Unions and Public Workers\n A Public 
 Forum\nFrom the Gates Foundation and the Broad Foundation to Pearson Inc., 
 public education is under attack with charters, testing and the 
 commercialization of our public education system for profit.\n There is no 
 national campaign by education and public worker unions fighting 
 privatization yet this attack on public education and services is being 
 used to destroy the entire labor movement.\n This forum will look at how 
 education is being privatized, who is doing it and how labor and working 
 people can launch a successful fight against the destruction of our public 
 education system.\nSpeakers:\nKathleen Carroll, former Commission on 
 Teacher Credentials lawyer and whistleblower and advocate for teachers and 
 public education.\nBrian Crowell, Berkeley Federation of Teachers BFT 
 former steward and activist who defended teachers against the Peer Assisted 
 Review PAR program which has been used to target African American and 
 Latino teachers as well as senior teachers.\nRick Baum, AFT 2121 San 
 Francisco City College Lecturer on how privatizers have sought to destroy 
 the college using the accreditation board and the struggle to mobilize 
 statewide for the defense of community colleges.\nGeorge Wright, AFT 1741 
 retired Skyline College and Chico State Professor who fought 
 corporatization of the Community College system.\n Sponsored by UPWA,
