On Thursday, let's go visit the billionaire hedge-funders out to privatize our schools!


Please join us this Thursday 8/23 at 9:30 am at Columbus Circle to go on a tour and teach-in of the billionaire hedge-fund managers that want to privatize education...

 

Billionaire Dan Loeb

Billionaire Kenneth Langone



Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones


Q: What do these “fat cat” billionaires all have in common?

A: They crashed the economy and now they want to crash NYC public schools through StudentsFirst NY, an organization that is advocating for more standardized testing, more privatization, more school closings and more budget cuts. 


It’s time to go to their homes and workplaces & let them know our schools are NOT for sale!

Join parents and students from across the city as we get to know the billionaires spending millions of dollars to continue failed policies in NYC schools.
