LOCAL Announcement :: Children & Education

Media Activist Call-Out for Hearings on School Closings!

Videographers! Photographers! Writers! Audio-Peops!

The Chicago Board of Education is planning to close, consolidate, phase-out or "turnaround" 23 public schools as a part of it's Rennaisance 2010 privatization scheme.

Surrounding these hearings will be a massive outpouring of community protest- parents, children and teachers. What will be missing is the actual board members (who don't look at the mountain of testimony before rubber-stamping) and the corporate media!

This is where you come in. Whether you use video, photo, audio or write, your help is needed in documenting this important testimony. This testimony will expose the school-board's wanton disregard for public opinion and record our own inspired "people's history".

If you feel inspired to Be the Media, please first post your media files here at Chicago Indymedia. Then, go to 2009CPSHearings.blogspot.com and post a link to your media files.

If you have any questions, please contact COREMaestro (at) gmail.com
