| Description | On Saturday, August 29, parents, teachers and education advocates launched the Coalition for Public Education at a convention held at the headquarters of DC-37 (AFSCME). Organizers vowed to strengthen the fight against mayoral control and have announced rallies in four boroughs for the first day of school.
Frances Villar participated in the conference's opening panel of elected officials and electoral candidates. Frances expressed her opposition to mayoral control and explained her own experience as a student organizer at CUNY. While offering her own perspective on how to reform the education system, Frances further explained, "I would dismantle this whole system entirely; I would flip it upside down and make sure the needs of the poor and working people are first, and that includes the children of our communities." |
