STRONG SCHOOLS,
STRONG OAKLAND
Let’s reclaim the resources our schools deserve!
Oakland schools are not getting the resources we need because wealthy corporations in California have not been required to pay their fair share. Please sign the state-wide petition TODAY to get Schools and Communities First on the November ballot.
