Please save the date to join LAANE on Wednesday 11/8 at Occidental College for a free documentary film screening of Backpack Full of Cash, a film that explores the growing privatization of public schools and the resulting impact on America’s most vulnerable children.

As you may know, LAANE has been working with the Reclaim Our Schools LA coalition over the past two years to advocate for funding, accountability, and resources for every public school student in Los Angeles. We are excited to partner with Active Voice Lab to bring this film to Los Angeles and continue this crucial conversation. Following the film, we will host a Q&A session to answer questions and discuss opportunities to further raise awareness about issues facing our public schools in Los Angeles.

Narrated by Matt Damon, this feature-length documentary showcases Philadelphia, New Orleans, Nashville and other cities, taking viewers through the tumultuous 2013-14 school year and exposing the world of corporate-driven education “reform” where public education — starved of resources — hangs in the balance.

I hope you will join us for this event. Seating is limited so RSVP today.
