Coalition for Equal Quality Education

[Peter Cook]

The Coalition for Equal Quality Education, Boston, MA has voted to endorse the National Day of Action to Defend Education. 

 

The Coalition for Equal Quality Education is dedicated to building a parent, student, teacher, community, and labor led coalition to strengthen public K-12 education throughout Massachusetts.  The Coalition will accomplish this by demanding full funding and resources for public schools; organizing for the elimination of the opportunities to learn (achievement) gap; stopping the privatization of public education via charter schools; and defending the collective bargaining rights of teachers and other workers within public school systems.  All youth have a right to an equal quality public education.

 

With this in mind, the Coalition is planning a demonstration on Wednesday, March 3 to coincide with a scheduled Boston School Committee meeting.  The demonstration will begin with a rally at the statehouse followed by a march to the Boston School Committee where  there will be a rally.

 

This protest will address:

 

Take Action to Demand Equal Quality Public Education

Stop the Corporate Takeover of Public Education!

FULL Funding for Boston’s Public Schools!

 

We are looking to work with others in the area to link the struggle for pre-K-12 education and higher education.
