DESCRIPTION:Calling All Youth  The ENI Youth Council was convened to involve youth 
 leadership in the co- creation of a local, community based action in 
 response to Governor  Schwarzenegger’s proposed budget, its cuts in 
 education spending and prioritization of prison spending. The energy, 
 expertise and involvement of youth are critical to the success of this 
 action.  This next meeting  will be a safe space for youth organizers to 
 provide input as we define the role of the Youth Council and begin planning 
 for our community  action.  Please join us!  Background  Education Not 
 Incarceration (ENI) is a coalition of teachers, students, community members 
 and community organizations working in response to the California state 
 budget, its effects on public education and higher education, and 
 prioritization of prison spending.  With 5 schools scheduled to be closed 
 this year in Oakland alone and more prisons being opened, our communities 
 are struggling to stay alive,respected, and intact.   On Saturday, January 
 31, ENI held a community forum to discuss our response to these pressing 
 issues.  With more than 120 participants present, the group decided to 
 organize a local, community based action this spring.  We envision a 
 Community Teach-in and Speakout in Oakland tentatively scheduled for 
 Saturday, April 24th, at Mosswood Park.  The day will include educational 
 workshops and culminate in a speak out including  artists and performers.  
 In addition, we will invite key decision-makers including Senator Perata, 
 Assemblywoman  Chan and State Superintendent  O’Connel to appear and 
 listen to the voices of our communities.   For more information or 
 directions, contact Vivian Lee at   http://www.may8.org  \n
