Fwd: BTU Rally Wednesday! #StudentsDeserve

[Andrea Doremus Cuetara]

TPC and CAB/RJOC/TAG/SEL4Mass folks may also be interested in this info:

[I'd say this event on Wednesday is the closest Boston is coming right now to the "fight for public schools," the teacher strike actions all across the country, & to stanch the "pre-school-2-prison pipeline." The key theme is #StudentsDeserve.]
