Loro si sono salvati dal fallimento e noi siamo stati venduti. Ma attraverso un'azione di massa coordinata a livello nazionale possiamo e fermeremo l'ondata dell'austerità.
Chiamiamo all'appello tutti gli studenti, gli insegnanti, i lavoratori e i genitori da tutti i livelli dell'educazione - dalla scuola materna agli ultimi anni del ciclo formativo, sia negli istituti pubblici sia in quelli privati – e tutte le varie assemblee del movimento “Occupy”, sindacati, e organizzazioni delle comunità oppresse, per una mobilitazione il Primo Marzo 2012, attraverso tutto il Paese, per dire ai potenti: le risorse esistono per un'istruzione d'alta qualità per tutt*. Se facciamo in modo tale che i ricchi e le grandi aziende paghino, possiamo rovesciare i tagli al budget, gli aumenti delle rette e gli attacchi alla sicurezza del lavoro, e finanziare completamente l'educazione pubblica e i servizi sociali.
Questa è una chiamata per lavorare tutt* insieme, ma è dovere di ogni scuola e organizzazione determinare le azioni locali e regionali -come scioperi, proteste, occupazioni, cortei, ecc... - cosicché cominceranno a capire che il vento è cambiato.
Abbiamo le forze, i numeri e la determinazione per vincere. L'istruzione non è in vendita. Riprendiamoci le nostre scuole. Facciamo la storia.
ENGLISH VERSION:
We refuse to pay for the crisis created by the 1%. We refuse to accept the dismantling of our schools and universities, while the banks and corporations make record profits. We refuse to accept educational re-segregation, massive tuition increases, outrageous student debt, and increasing privatization and corporatization.
They got bailed out and we got sold out. But through nationally coordinated mass action we can and will turn back the tide of austerity.
We call on all students, teachers, workers, and parents from all levels of education —pre-K-12 through higher education, in public and private institutions—and all Occupy assemblies, labor unions, and organizations of oppressed communities, to mobilize on March 1st, 2012 across the country to tell those in power: The resources exist for high-quality education for all. If we make the rich and the corporations pay we can reverse the budget cuts, tuition hikes, and attacks on job security, and fully fund public education and social services.
This is a call to work together, but it is up to each school and organization to determine what local and regional actions—such as strikes, walkouts, occupations, marches, etc.—they will take to say no to business as usual.
We have the momentum, the numbers, and the determination to win. Education is not for sale. Let’s take back our schools. Let’s make history.
