Hi Friend,

There is a small group of powerful people around Oakland who want nothing more than to turn our public education institutions into a profitable commodity. The charter school project in Oakland does just that, and we cannot pull any punches in protecting our schools from billionaires. We only have four days – rush $27 to our chapter to fight back and help School Board candidate Sasha Ritzie-Hernandez get elected.

Here’s the rundown: We have three labor-backed Oakland School Board members, three who stand in their way, and one vacancy with an election in four days.

Democratic socialist Sasha Ritzie-Hernandez is running for that very vacant seat in District 5, and our organizers have campaigned every week for two months to get her elected. Elections are in four days, and we need all the resources we can get to win a historic labor majority and elect more women to lead Oakland’s School Board.

Can I count on you to give $27 to our chapter to take our School Board back from the billionaires? >>

Here’s the thing, Friend – we have a real shot at getting Sasha elected. This is a critical step in our chapter’s Oakland Schools for All priority campaign to return Oakland schools to the communities they belong to. Even though the news isn’t blasting it, this is a historic moment for Oakland that will shape our schools for years to come.

Pitch in $27 to East Bay DSA’s campaign to get Sasha elected to take schools out of the hands of sad billionaires and give them back to teachers, parents, and students.

Solidarity,
East Bay DSA
