1,400 People Attend CEJ’s Educational Justice Day

CEJ’s 3rd Annual Martin Luther King Day rally was held at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and hosted by Rev. Calvin O. Butts, III. With CEJ leaders emceeing the rally, and with the CEJ Platform the focal point, the speakers argued that school closings and charter schools were not the primary answer to the city’s educational crisis, that students must keep their free metro cards, and that the NYC Department of Education should respect and recognize the city’s Muslim students’ most important holidays. UFT President Michael Mulgrew and PSC-CUNY President Barbara Bowen spoke, as well as Comptroller John Liu, Public Advocate Bill Delbasio, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, and many NY State and City legislators. By the end of the rally, CEJ had collected more than 1,000 postcards addressed to Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein urging them to apply for the federal Innovation Fund to implement the CEJ platform. CEJ is determined to build on the energy and power of the rally to advance our Platform for Educational Justice in the 21st Century.
