| Statewide Day of Action March 4th will be a statewide Day of Action to reorder the state's priorities and save California's future. Adequate funding for ALL public education (from pre-K through university) is an important part of this. Plans are still underway but the idea is for folks to organize locally (on campuses, at school sites etc.) during the day and converge at the Civic Center in the late afternoon for a rally at 5PM. Some groups will meet beforehand and will be marching together to the rally. It would be very powerful if students, staff, teachers, and parents from individual schools participated in contingents with the names of their schools, the amounts slashed from their budgets and the students with signs that say things like "I am the future of this state," I want to go to UC-Berkeley," I Have Dreams," etc.etc. We are beyond the point of crisis... |

| Grattan: Author Po Bronson, "Nurtureshock: New Thinking About Children" Join us on Monday, May 17 at 6:30 pm to hear Po Bronson speak at Grattan about his new book, NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children. This event is free and open to the public. NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razorsharp analysis, Bronson and Merryman demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring—because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Grattan School is located at 165 Grattan Street in Cole Valley. Doors open at 6:30 for purchase of books, coffee, and sweets. Copies of NurtureShock will be available for purchase courtesy of The Booksmith. 20% of your purchase benefits Grattan! |
