Rally to Stop Budget Cuts, Union Workers Solidarity

Brooklyn, NY

May 6, 2011 04:00PM to 07:00PM

Hosted by michael schirtzer

Event Description:
STOP SCHOOL BUDGET CUTS!
Because of Mayor Bloomberg's cuts, our schools have
already suffered:
• Higher class sizes
• Fewer after school programs
• Cuts in basic educational supplies and services

Now the state legislature has made further cuts, and Mayor Bloomberg is calling for layoffs.

Both the Mayor and State Senator Marty Golden oppose renewal of a Millionaire's Tax which could add $700 million dollars this year and $4 billion dollars the following year, eliminating the need for any more cuts or layoffs!
