Laney Chapter Poor People's Campaign

WE URGE YOU TO CREATE REAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS TO THRIVE ACADEMICALLY AND BE SAFE! The Peralta District should stop paying Alameda County Sheriffs to police our students and should mobilize the Peralta community to push the Governor and State Legislature to do their jobs and provide the necessary education funding to show that #BlackLivesMatter and #BlackMindsMatter in Peralta. We do not accept the bipartisan consensus of austerity! The wealth is available in California to fully fund educational opportunities - just tax those who can afford it. What is lacking is the political will to do it. We can help with that.

Great article about the petition!!!
