Educate Me! An Event to Fix California's Broken Education Finance System

I’m proud to be involved in organizing a fabulous event. I will be speaking there, but more importantly, you will hear from organizations such as Children Now and Educate Our State! who are building a growing movement and creating initiatives to fix our broken educational finance system. Many of you have seen my Education Finance Video that lays out the problem — let’s now talk about the solutions! Here are the details — please attend October 3rd! (no RSVP necessary)
