Protest Michelle Rhee and the

Corporate Attack on Education

 

Paramount Theater

February 7th, Rally at 7pm, Event at 8

2025 Broadway, Oakland

 

Who is Michelle Rhee?

  • Former chancellor of Washington DC schools and anti-union crusader
  • Founder of StudentsFirst, a partner in privatizing education with people like Bill Gates and the Broad Foundation
  • Featured in the movie Waiting for Superman, where she denigrated public school teachers and promoted her corporate brand of “Rhee-Form”

Why Should We Protest?

  • This isn’t about just one person:  it is about the right-wing movement that Rhee represents
  • Rhee personifies the pro-corporate agenda that puts test scores and private contracts before students’ needs
  • Rhee and her right-wing cohorts, like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, are leading the national drive to bust education and other public sector unions

What Do We Want?

·     Fully funded public education

·     An end to school closures and the expansion of charters

·     Good contracts for all public sector workers

Action Alert #35  We Have a New Senate Bill!  ssfairness.com

Just before the Senate went on recess in mid-December John Kerry (D-MA) introduced a companion bill to the House Social Security Fairness Bill (HR1332).

The new Senate bill specifies repeal of both the GPO and the WEP. It is number S 2010 and is co-sponsored by Susan Collins (R-ME). 

We are delighted!

 The best way we can thank these two Senators is to get their colleagues to sign on as co-sponsors! The National Education Association has set up a quick and easy way to email both your Senators and your Congress Person. This is open to everyone and you do not need to sign up for NEA emails to use the service.  Click here and also pass this link on to your friends:

It is not likely that these bills will be passed this year, but they are a vehicle for explaining to legislators why these offsets are WRONG. When any changes are made to the Social Security retirement formulas, we want to make sure that lawmakers know that this is a problem that must be fixed!

 From our recent sign ups, here is another story of outrageous injustice:

My mother (a public school teacher) was blindsided by this unfair legislation. She is constantly having to explain to people why she does not receive survivor benefits, when most of her peers (84 years old) do receive them. It feels so punitive to me. It's as if they are saying, "You worked so we are now going to punish you for it. And, your husband died so now we are going to rip up your life even more. Ha!" The concept of double dipping was inaccurate, as if someone were stealing. They built their lives and family, contributed to society, and paid taxes, together.  California.

Thank you for staying with us as we fight for change!!!

Repeal the WEP and GPO!  For more information, go to ssfairness.com.
