Hundreds Protest In New York City Against Cuomo’s Attack On 1.1 Million Public School Children

10015656_10152363505792375_3069417963103807678_nYesterday afternoon, in an unprecedented show of unity, elected officials, parent leaders and children from across the five boroughs stood on the steps of the New York Public Library to say that all children matter, and that the privileged few who attend charter schools should not be allowed to hijack space in our already over crowded public schools.

After their rally at the library, the protestors took to the streets and marched over to Governor Cuomo’s office to present him with a large signed post-card, with counterfier dollar bills attached, to symbolize how he has enabled his wealthy contributors in the charter lobby to engineer a hostile takeover of our public schools, over the needs of New York City’s 1.1 million public school children.

Organizers of the event promised that there will be many more events of this nature coming around in the near future until public education resources are fairly distributed to the children across the entire state.
