Fight the school board recall!

A note from Alison Collins…

“Thank you so much for your support of my work and all that we are fighting for on the SF Board of Education.

I hope you and your family are well and doing all you can to stay safe during this most recent surge in the Omicron variant of COVID-19. I am hearing nonstop from students, families, and educators that there are still gaps in resources their schools need. For this reason, I’m not campaigning and am focussing 100% on getting schools the enhanced testing, high-quality masks, and other resources necessary to keep folks safe.

"As a city, we were ready to take on racist systems and structures in the school district and that's the work that they were doing," says Tara Ramos (below), a longtime parent advocate, school librarian and organizer for Vote No School Board Recalls.

As we have seen through history, any time we make a change that advances justice for historically oppressed people we see this type of reaction. This is just the latest example of pushback when we make progress on an equitable society.

Recall efforts are fueled by fear-mongering and lies.

Across the county, we are seeing an unprecedented amount of school board recalls sustained by nationwide right-wing disinformation campaigns, political opportunists, and corporate interests. Many recall talking points are factually incorrect and drive division between communities of color in our city. Disinformation about our school board weakens public trust in our education system also undermines our democracy.

I am not personally taking donations to fight this recall, but there are many public schools parents, educators, youth, and San Francisco residents who are leading the effort to fight this corporate take over our school district.
