Rally Against Quid Pro Cuomo State Budget Deal and Gubernatorial Control of NYC Schools
*Parents condemn Cuomo’s pay-to-play budget deal with charter school lobbyists who are bankrolling his re-election campaign and want to undermine New York City’s power over its schools.*
WHAT: Public school parents, community leaders, and elected officials will rally against the budget deal Cuomo clearly orchestrated with the Senate Majority to advance the extremist, anti-de Blasio agenda of charter school lobbyists who are heavily funding the Governor’s re-election campaign. This disturbing Quid pro Cuomo opens the door to gubernatorial control of New York City schools.
WHO: Outraged public school parents, community leaders, and elected officials who won’t stand for Cuomo and the Senate Majority cutting a pay-to-play budget deal with charter school lobbyists.
WHERE: Governor Cuomo’s Midtown office: 633 Third Avenue, between E40th and E41st Streets.
WHEN: Friday, March 14, Noon.

I didn’t get word of the protest early enough! I would have chucked every other commitment to be there. 😦
I would have chucked every other commitment to be there, but I didn’t get word until 3:00pm. This is sickening! 😦
I would hope that this was only the first of many to come. This push back needs to escalate, week after week, more and more people standing together against the corrupt politicians, bad businessmen, billionare bankers and hedge fund managers who would destroy our schools and steal the future from our children.
I agree…if only I’d known sooner…I would’ve been there. For my child’s future, I would do anything. Concerned parent here whose child’s school is affected by charter school expansion.
An NY school activists needs to run against Cuomo in the coming election. Is there still time to file?
