As an update to my previous post about the March 4 Day of Action, below are the demands adopted yesterday by the East Bay March 4 Outreach Committee in Oakland, California. I recommend them to organizing committees for March 4 actions elsewhere as a model.

All Out on March 4!

Defend Public Education!

· Fully funded, free public education from preschool through graduate school and adult education

· Open admissions

· No privatization; no charter schools

· No union-busting

· End No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top

· Student, faculty, staff, parent, and working class community control over the entire public education system, from preK-12 through graduate school and adult education

Protect Jobs and Social Services!

· Full funding for all public and social services

· Restore all cuts and expand vital public programs

· No foreclosures

End War and Close Prisons!

· Money for jobs and education, not war and incarceration

Defend Immigrants’ Rights!

· Full citizenship rights for immigrants

· No ICE raids, no deportations

Jill, you're most welcome - I think they're good too, and I'm hoping those who agree will help spread the word to other March 4 organizing committees.
