Recap of the #Brownat60 National Week of Action
Recap, pictures and video from #Brownat60 nationwide events and how you can stay involved!
On May 13, over 500 people from around the country joined the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools for a Week of Action kick off rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court. At the rally, Alliance member organization Journey for Justice released a report, “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” and filed three Title VI complaints documenting the harm that corporate reform strategies like school closures and charter expansion have on public schools.
Read a full recap of the rally and watch the video recording here. And view (and share!) pictures from the event here.
