STOP THE LAYOFFS!


STOP THE LAYOFFS!
SAVE OUR SCHOOLS!
SAVE OUR COMMUNITIES!
Tuesday, October 4th
4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at
City Hall
(Broadway & Barclay St.)
(Trains: 4,5,6 to Brooklyn Bridge; N,R to City Hall; 2,3 to Park Place; A,C to Chambers St.)
     More than 700 dedicated school aides, family paraprofessionals, parent coordinators and other support staff -- members of DC 37's Board of Education Local 372 -- are facing layoff by the NYC Dept. of Education. To see a video with details, click here.
     This will have a grave impact on schools and communities across our city. Children will suffer, public schools will suffer and communities will suffer needlessly because there is a better way. The city has wasted more than $1 billion on private contracts at the DOE and other city agencies -- money that could be used to stop these layoffs and keep valuable school support staff on the job.
Join the protest at City Hall on Oct. 4
Demand that Mayor Bloomberg stop contracting out DOE work and stop the layoffs!
Also call the Mayor at (212) 788-3000
Tell him to STOP THE DOE LAYOFFS NOW!
