DESCRIPTION:2/1 Berkeley Forum-The Nov 2016 Elections, Public Education, Charters, 
 Privatization And DeVos\nHow To Stop The Attack On Public Education And 
 Fight Back\n\nWednesday Feb 1, 2017  7:00 PM\nBerkeley Finn Hall\n1970 
 Chestnut St.\nBerkeley\n\nThere is a frontal attack on public education in 
 California and nationally. Privatizing billionaires like Gates, Broad, 
 Zuckerberg and Reed Hastings are helping to bust up public schools and set 
 up charters. They are being helped by California governor Jerry Brown and 
 his political appointees at the CA Board of Education, CTC, UC Regents, CSU 
 Board and Community College Board  who represent the privatizers and union 
 busters. They have supported re-segregation of the schools through corrupt 
 profiteering charters and have  attacked union activists who are fighting 
 racism, attacks on immigrants and senior teachers. Trump's new radical 
 fundamentalist Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos will escalate the attacks 
 and is openly calling for the complete privatization of the entire public 
 education system in the United States.\nThis is an emergency crisis for all 
 education workers, students, parents and supporters of public education and 
 the need for a fightback plan and strategy is critical!\n\nKristyn Jones,
