 close to Main Berkeley BART Station\nIf door is locked call 
 (415)282-1908\n\n\nCharters are proliferating throughout California and the 
 US.  They are pushed by billionaires like the Bill Gates and his 
 foundation, The Walton Family Foundation owned by the family that owns 
 Walmart, The KIPP Foundation owned by the Fisher family which own the GAP 
 corporation, the A's and runs Rocketship Schools, The California Charters 
 School Association CCSA which Netflix owner Reed Hastings runs, Facebook 
 owner Zuckerberg’s Foundation which is setting up charters schools in the 
 bay area and nationally.\n\nThese billionaires helped pass California 
 charters school laws in 1992 and Prop 39 which forces public schools to 
 co-locate breaking up public schools and relieves them of the Field Act to 
 protect school kids health and safety.\n\nNow LAUSD and OUSD may go 
 bankrupt because billions of dollars (5) are being siphoned off from the 
 public school systems. Also,  these same profiteers are privatizing 
 community colleges at CCSF and Laney where John L. Fisher owner of the 
 A’s and the Gap who also runs KIPP want to take Laney land for his ball 
 park and corporate land development plans.\n\nThis forum will have 
 teachers, educators and advocates of public education who will report on 
 the growing assault on public education and what we can do to fight back in 
 the bay area, statewide, nationally and internationally.\n\nInitial List of 
 Speakers:\nKristyn Jones, UTR elected rep to NEA convention\nSteve White, 
 Teacher\nCarlos Taboada, Retired UTR Teacher\nKimberly King, Peralta 
 Federation of Teachers Executive Board Member  and Laney Professor or a
