“The billionaires are after our public resources here in the City of Oakland,” according to a Schools and Labor Against Privatization (S.L.A.P.) media statement. “The Oakland School Board has recently voted to close 11 public schools, despite overwhelming opposition from the community. School closures disproportionately harm communities of color. They are part of a long-term plan by corporations to destroy public education — selling them off to real estate developers or converting them into charter schools.”
