Today, the #PoorPeoplesCampaign is standing up with the AFT - American Federation of Teachers and demanding Congress appropriate vital funds for safe school re-opening. Betsy DeVos and her friends on Wall Street have long dreamed of privatizing our public education system in order to extract more money from working families. Now, they’re using the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to starve public schools of vital resources that will keep teachers, students, and faculty safe and healthy. These funding shortfalls will deepen existing inequities and hurt our most vulnerable communities - precisely the goal of this administration.
