Cuts
Rally
and March on the Final Budget Vote!

Socialist Alternative
supporters,
Tomorrow night,
join a rally and march on the final Boston Schools meeting to tell the Mayor
that there's NO ACCEPTANCE TIL THERE ARE NO CUTS!
The inspirational student walkout on March 7th
has shaken Boston’s political establishment. It has already had an
enormous impact, as we can see with Mayor Walsh taking back the part of the
budget cuts aimed directly at high schools. It's also shown what's possible when
we get organized and take action to fight back. However, despite the heroic
actions of the students, the majority of the budget cuts are still
planned on being implemented. Parents and workers from the community have to
take decisive action to throw our weight into the
fight.
By taking mass collective action as working
people and students, we can exert further pressure on a divided School
Committee and the Mayor to halt the cuts altogether. It can
also lay the foundation for a broader movement of the 99% in Boston that
not only stops cuts, but can go on the offensive to fight for higher wages,
better jobs and other things that matter to all working
people.
WE CALL
FOR:
• Tax the billionaires to fund our
schools
NO corporate handouts on the backs of students
and
workers; expand school programs and facilities; NO layoffs or school
closures
• End high-stakes testing
NO to
testing systems that set up students to fail
• No new charter
schools
Keep the Charter cap, NO to the privatization of
education
• For an elected and fully accountable School
Committee
For oversight of public schools by a School Committee
democratically elected from BPS parents, students and the
unions
• For a political voice of the
99%
Students, parents and teachers should run candidates
against any politicians that support budget cuts and other attacks on working
people and
youth
