The call is for Increasing Federal Investment
in Public Education, and it will feature leaders in public education who will
assess the impact of limited federal funding and how the imminent November 5th
election could shape the future of classrooms across the nation. Though
historically public schools were locally financed through property and state
taxes, the largest pool of public funds is federal income taxes paid by
citizens. Given the critical importance of public education in maintaining and
expanding a thriving government and economy, the nation needs to sharply
increase Congressional education budgets.
73] – La ColectiVA is doing Organizing 101 Training on Sat.,
Oct. 26 from 3 to 7 PM ET at 5539
Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA (Meeting Room).
During this training, you will get an understanding on how to strengthen
our collective work. Organizing is more important now than ever, especially in
a time when genocides and violence are threatening our communities. Collective
action gives us the power to stand against injustice, defend the most
vulnerable, and demand accountability from those in power. By organizing, we
can build movements rooted in solidarity, amplify the voices of the oppressed,
and create the systemic change needed to end cycles of harm. In the face of
violence, organizing is how we fight for justice, protect each other, and
envision a future where we abolish capitalism.

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
