Sisters and Brothers,
Despite the widespread and unprecedented public outpouring of support from parents, students and community, Governor Cuomo still refuses to listen to the professionals in our public schools and universities or the parents and communities that support them.
We will not stand by as Governor Cuomo works to hold aid to our public schools hostage in an attempt to eliminate our collective bargaining rights, obviate our current collective bargaining agreements, eliminate our tenure protections, allow the state to take over our local public schools or expand the failed test and punish evaluation agenda.
In order to demonstrate the power of our conviction, to protect workers' rights and to defeat this massive attack on our public schools and universities, we are asking every leader, every member and every supporter of public education to come to the “Million Dollar Staircase” (3rd Floor) at the New York State Capitol tomorrow, Thursday, March 26, 2015, beginning at 4:00 p.m.
The time is now! We need you to participate, to advocate and to fight to protect what we hold dear! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
