Larry Hales Speaks Tonight in Detroit on Building March 4

They Say Cut Back! We Say Fight Back! Money for Education Not War and Bank Bailouts!

Are you tired of the attacks on education? Sick of budget cuts and tuition hikes? Sick of billions going to wars and bank bailouts!

On March 4, 2010, students and workers across the United States will take action to defend education against increased privatization of K-12 schools and budget cuts, layoffs, furloughs, tuitions increases and student loan debt.

Last fall California students took bold action, occupying a number of universities including the Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley and San Francisco State. The action and energy from California have sparked the interest of many across the U.S., who then reached out to California students-workers to make their March 4 statewide day of action a national day.

Come this evening and meet Larry Hales, a March 4 organizer from Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST). Discuss your experiences and the fightback against the cuts, layoffs, fee hikes, and the re-segregation of public education. Learn how you can get involved.
