September 11th, 2010

San Diego Regional Summit, San Diego State University
To Plan for the October 7th National Strike and Day of Action

Registration 10:00am – 10:45am
Summit 11:00am – 4:45pm
SDSU Campus, Physical Sciences Building, Room 130
Details at www.sdplanningcommittee.wordpress.com

On March 4th 2010 thousands organized mass protests and demonstrations demanding educational justice. Tens of thousands responded to denounce the budget cuts, layoffs, tuition increases, and the diminishing… access to public services. It is now time for phase two: join with San Diego students, workers, and activists for a Regional Summit on September 11th at San Diego State University. We will be discussing and developing a plan to turn the tide against the cuts to education and social services, and to organize a large protest on the National Strike and Day of Action on October 7th and beyond.

Students and workers have rightly pointed out that there IS money to go around and the crisis is actually based in political priorities. California prioritizes prisons over education and corporations and the wealthy are spared from contributing to the “shared sacrifices.” California is under corporate rule and corporations get away with not paying their fair share in taxes, wages, and maintaining the environment. The students and workers fighting the budget cuts will continue to demand that wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share. If there should be cuts they should NOT come from education and social services.

While politicians focus their energy on antagonizing immigrants; blaming them for the crisis and attacking ethnic study courses and public sector unions, it is clear that the main priority of the politicians is to wedge divisions between us. It is also clear they focus on continuing to fund the largest military and prison spending budget in the world, bailing out exploitative banks, and spending vast resources on the militarization of the border – all while school buildings crumble, classroom sizes increase dramatically, and the sick, elderly, and poor suffer the consequences of inhumane defunding.

The only way to fight these injustices is for the public to become informed about the issues that trouble us today. True solutions will not come from the politicians, but from grassroots efforts. Education is the only real solution we have to battle poverty and injustice. The time to fight to save our schools is now. We must fight for a transformation in our education system. Quality education for all is a basic fundamental human right and we must continue to fight for it until it is secure!

We fight the same fight on different fronts. Join us this September 11 in a united front against injustice.

The time to save our future is now.

October 7th Day of Action and October 23-24th Mobilizing Conference In

Defense of Public Education and Public Services

The historic actions, protests and strikes of last Fall and Spring
showed our state and the nation that students, teachers, staff, and
our communities are determined to fight against the cuts, layoffs, fee
hikes, and the shrinking access to public education and services.
However, our fight is far from over. On October 7th, supporters of
public education plan to unite and demand accessible, affordable and
quality education for all.

Public higher-education is an engine of economic growth that benefits
all communities at large, but students of color across the nation are
being tracked into non-academic programs while ethnic and multi-
cultural classes are being cut. As public universities raise tuitions
to the level of private institutions, students of all ethnicities are
being denied access to higher-education on the basis of income— an
economic barrier that disproportionately affects people of color.

The knowledge and innovation coming from graduates of state-supported
universities create far more wealth in the state than the education's
cost.  Better educated citizens are shown to be more productive, pay
higher taxes, create a stronger economy, and provide more jobs. Thus,
it is important to seek out more revenue sources to support education
and public institutions, rather than focusing on decreasing funding.

The politicians and administrators say there is no money for education
and social services. But if there is money for tax cuts and prisons,
why is there no money for public education? Schools are now suffering
from inadequate staffing and pay-cuts. However, California's budget
cuts are not only restricted to the education system.  Our health
services, public infrastructure, transportation and library systems
will also continue to deteriorate. These issues are all intertwined.
How do we stop the degeneration of California?

We, the people, have the democratic power to beat back these attacks
and ensure that our public institutions effectively serve the public.
But to do so, members of all regions and sectors --- adult-ed,
students, workers, teachers, activists, unions, and community
organizations --- must unite and take action on October 7th, and
contribute our voices and thoughts to the October 23-24 conference at
San Francisco State University to defend public education.

The purpose of the October 23-24 conference is to democratically
propose demands, devise an action plan, and create a structure capable
of defending public education and public services for the benefit of
all.

We invite all supporters of education across the nation to attend and
participate in the October 7th day of action and the October 23-24th
conference.
