 22 (Saturday) 10:00 AM (Free) Richmond High School Auditorium - 1250 23rd 
 St., Richmond, CA\nCharters, Privatization & the Defense of Public 
 Education \nThe growth of charter schools and privatization of public 
 education in California and throughout the US is a cancer threatening 
 students, teachers and staff at all public schools. This education/action 
 conference will look at what charters are and how they are siphoning off 
 billions dollars from public taxes for profiteers. It will also examine how 
 religious tax-funded charter schools like the Gulen Magnolia chain and 
 storefront “online schools” like Escondido Charter High are growing in 
 California and throughout the country. We will hear from parents groups and 
 teachers who are fighting against retaliation and discrimination. This is a 
 life-and-death struggle to protect public education and we will learn about 
 it and how to defend our schools.\nSPEAKERS: Sharon Higgins, expert on
