While our leadership group includes primarily teachers, we are a network of progressive public school employees, parents, students, and allies who believe that public education should be democratic, well-funded, and community-supported. We are opposed to the privatization of public education that is occurring at a rampant rate in the United States today. We use a list serve and website to keep ourselves updated on current issues in public education. We meet with others in a safe space for discussion of topics, including social justice in the classroom, contracts under question, the lack of democracy in decision making in the education system, budget cuts, increases in class size, furloughing, and reductions in force. We are a resource space for people interested in bringing more unity and action to the struggle to save public education.

At this time we are a small group of people active in defense of public education in the Metro Atlanta area. We believe that there are many like minded individuals and groups with whom we could connect through this website to build a larger and better informed network of public education activists and advocates.
