TODAY: 4pm, 440 Broad: Fight to save our public schools!

Protest at the School Reform Commission, Philadelphia School District headquarters, 440 N. Broad St 4:00 pm.

Join the Philadelphia School District's unions and community partners in the Philadelphia Coalition Advocating for Public Schools for a rally at School District Headquarters as the SRC votes on next year's budget. Let's stop the SRC's bare-bones budget and five-year plan to close, charter, and privatize schools and to outsource jobs. Please note that the rally will start at 4:00, 30 minutes earlier than originally planned.

The JwJ Pledge

During the next year, I will be there at least five times for someone else's fight, as well as my own. If enough of us are there, we'll all start winning.

STAND UP for our rights as working people to a decent standard of living.

SUPPORT the right of all workers to organize and bargain collectively.

FIGHT for secure family-wage jobs in the face of corporate attacks on working people and our communities.

ORGANIZE the unorganized to take aggressive action to secure a better economic future for all of us.

MOBILIZE those already organized to join the fight for jobs with justice.

Student Labor Action Project

As Philadelphia students and youth we commit ourselves to the struggles of working class people in this city and to the fight against all forms of oppression including racism, sexism, and homophobia. We stand for equality, the rights of workers, justice, and democracy. We are against the corporatization of education and aim to make our universities fully accountable to the communities they were built to serve. We believe that direct action wins working class families better working conditions, affordable health care, paid sick days. SLAP provides dedicated student leaders with the skills and tools necessary to affect meaningful change for workers on our campuses and in our communities through trainings, events, and actions.
