Dear conference organizers:
First, thank you for your commitment to public education and time to organize this conference. I look forward to attending. I do, however, think an important topic should be on the table at the conference, which is the question of the scope of the movement that will be necessary to effect meaningful change in our state.
I am very concerned that people believe it is either wise or necessary to mobilize only on behalf of public education in California; that is, to focus our collective effort and vision/strategies for moving forward to defending public education (including K-12, community colleges, CSU, UC). Rather, I think it is important and possible to leave the conference with an explicit emphasis on mobilizing all sectors of society that have been singled out for state budget cuts, including but not limited to programs for the disabled, senior citizens, state parks, libraries, healthcare, and other vital community programs that millions of Californians depend on.
We are entering a multi-year era of economic lethargy. The funds for paying for a free public education system are not going to come from any economic rebound out of this recession, because the prospects for a rebound (on a systemically significant and necessary level) to pay for a free education system are practically non-existent. If we focus on public education and are successful in mobilizing a statewide effort for such, we run the terrible risk of influencing lawmakers to increase funding for education at the cost of other vital programs that I mentioned above.
I recently wrote an op-ed for the Santa Cruz Weekly on a related topic: a social movement, not merely budget reform, is needed:
