DESCRIPTION:The Community-Labor Alliance is organizing a community wide forum for 
 teachers, parents, students and workers to discuss the funding crises in 
 the Vallejo and Benicia School Districts and to hear from Sutter Solano 
 Healthcare workers on Sutter’s unfair labor practices. This will be the 
 first public forum organized by and for parents and teachers and 
 importantly will unite parents ACROSS districts.    Ben Visnick is 
 President of the Oakland Education Association (OEA) and has been a key 
 organizer against the cuts and school closures in the Oakland Unified 
 School District.  Currently, the OEA is organizing a broad coalition 
 including teachers, parents, staff, inter-faith organizations and a variety 
 of labor unions including the ILWU, SEIU and UFCW in order to stop the 
 de-funding of Oakland’s schools.  The State Administrator for Oakland has 
 recently suggested a “public/charter” hybrid model district wide.  Such 
 privatization efforts have proven disastrous in communities throughout the 
 country and simply create a two-tiered education system that fosters social 
 fragmentation rather than common experience.  Marketing, rather than 
 educational improvement becomes a chief concern and focus of resources.  \n
