Robert Jackson is a great champion for public schools running for State Senate in District 13 in New York City. The NY Daily News reported today that one of his opponents in the Democratic primary has received more than $100,000 from hedge fund managers,GOP who who support more charters. Isn’t it amazing that so many wealthy people, who don’t send their children to public schools, are so deeply committed to privatizing the public schools? In this post, parent activist Tory Frye, long-time public school parent activist in Upper Manhattan who served as an elected parent member of Community Education Council in District 6 and two School Leadership Teams explains why you should help him, work for him, and vote for him. IF YOU LIVE IN NYC, DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

"The world is seemingly full of disconnected crises, but Rob Kall begs to differ. An exceptional pattern thinker, he connects a range of contemporary challenges through a framework of bottom-up solutions in a world dominated by top-down thinking. Mining extensive interviews with thought leaders and exploring an eclectic mix of leading-edge ideas, Bottom-Up describes a variety of latent and emergent characteristics of an evolutionary paradigm shift that's changing the world. Whether your focus is in business, leadership, activism, or organizations, Kall offers a practical conceptual map and toolset to engage the planetary evolution taking place all around us. If you want to make a difference and need inspiration for how to participate in this global transformation, there is plenty in this book to draw from."

Antonio Lopez, author of The Media Ecosystem
