The Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools Newsletter
SPECIAL EDITION: November 13, 2015
Welcome to our November 13 newsletter! This week we're paying special attention to the ongoing scandal surrounding Success Academy Charter Schools in New York City and the fight to end the school-to-prison pipeline.
On Tuesday, The Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools will join thousands of workers across the country for a National Day of Action to raise the minimum wage. As parents, teachers, students and community members, we know that to win the schools all our children deserve we must take the fight beyond the classroom and lift families and communities out of poverty.
We are proud to stand with Fight for $15 in calling for a living wage and the right to join a union. Join the fight and stand with us on Tuesday!

On behalf of the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, Director Keron Blair has released the following statement regarding the video of a police officer's violent interaction with a student at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina:
"The video of officer Ben Fields dragging an African American female student across the room broke my heart. I think it broke the heart of every student, parent and educator who watched it. It was too much, and so much about what we saw was just wrong and unacceptable!
