Hi JOHN,

What’s happening in Sarasota should sound the alarm for every community in
America that believes in public education.

A Miami-based charter school corporation just filed to take over three
Sarasota public schools — including a K–12 school for students with
disabilities — under Florida’s new“Schools of Hope” law.

This expanded law, pushed by Ron DeSantis and his extremist allies, gives
private charter operators the power toseize “underutilized” public school
buildings without paying rent or contributing a single cent toward maintenance
or repairs. They’ll use taxpayer-funded facilities for free, while draining
resources from the very schools our communities built.

This opens the floodgates for privatizing our public schools as
corporate-backed charter operators gain free access to taxpayer-funded
buildings while our public classrooms struggle for resources.

At Educated We Stand, we’re building a grassroots movement to stop these
attacks by electing pro-public education school board members in every corner
of the country and standing up to extremist privatization schemes.

But we need your help. Sarasota won’t be the last community targeted.

Can you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can today to help us protect our
public schools from corporate takeover?
