Dear La Peña Community,
La Peña wholeheartedly supports the Oakland teachers’ call for a livable wage, decreased class sizes, and increased student support, such as nurses and psychologists. Oakland’s fight is part of a nationwide call for saving the soul of public education and putting an end to the privatization of education.
La Peña Cultural Center’s mission is to create peace and social justice through cultural arts, education and community action and support strong and vibrant school communities for young people in Oakland.

In solidarity,
La Peña Board and Co-Directors
P.S. Please sign the petition at CharterLawReform.com to change the charter law that is at the root of the teachers strikes in Oakland and Los Angeles!
