SUMMARY:Charters\, Privatization & the Defense of Public Education
DESCRIPTION:($10 – No one turned away due to lack of funds)The growth of charter schools and privatization of public education in California and throughout the US is a cancer threatening students\, teachers and staff at all public schools. This education/action conference will look at what charters are and how they are siphoning off billions dollars from public taxes for profiteers. It will also examine how religious tax-funded charter schools like the Gulen Magnolia chain and storefront “online schools” like Escondido Charter High are growing in California and throughout the country. We will hear from parents groups and teachers who are fighting against retaliation and discrimination. This is a life-and-death struggle to protect public education and we will learn about it and how to defend our schools. \n\nSPEAKERS: Sharon Higgins\, expert on Gulen Magnolia Charter Schools; Dr. Frank Adamson\, Stanford Graduate School of Education; Carlos Taboada\, Retired UTR teacher; Kristyn Jones\, UTR Teacher; Debra McCaffrey\, parent activist; Michael Dominguez\, UTLA retired teacher; Eileen Brown\, Stand With Ross Valley Schools; Steve Johnson\, teacher Labor Rising; Robert Ovetz\, adjunct professor\, Todd Groves\, former WCCSB member. \n\nSponsored by Defend Public Education Now\nFor more information\, call:(510) 506-4493\, (510) 439-8073\nhttps://www.defendpubliceducationnow.org

SUMMARY:Tom Mooney and Preparedness Day Bombing Walk
DESCRIPTION:With Gifford Hartman\, David Duckworth \nDuring this walking tour\, we visit several sites\, which were integral to the unfolding of events following a bomb explosion on Steuart Street at Market Street on July 22\, 1916. With fervor building to engage the United States in the war in Europe\, businessmen in San Francisco embraced the cause\, while labor leaders and the left denounced it. With the bomb killing ten people and wounding forty\, no clear culprit was identified. But\, two figures from the left\, labor organizers and anarchists Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings\, were framed for the murder of the victims and spent many years in prison before being released. On this tour\, we learn not only about the war between business and labor and open and closed union shops\, but also the divisive issues of American aggression in the Pacific region and against Mexico\, crusading and yellow journalism in the city of San Francisco\, and the mood of the country regarding World War I.\nThe tour lasts approximately two hours.\nDavid Duckworth is an art and cultural historian\, having lectured widely\, including California Institute of Integral Studies\, Free University\, LaborFest\, New York University\, Popular Culture/American Culture Association\, and Treasure Island Museum.\nGifford Hartman is an adult educator\, labor trainer\, working class historian\, and has been a rank-and-file militant in various industries (some organized by the SEIU and ILWU\, and others non-union shops) and presently works in the unorganized precarious education sector.
