Association of Raza Educators Raza Educators for Critical Consciousness and Democratic Education P.O. Box 226768 Los Angeles CA 90022 razaeducators@ aol.com www.razaeducators. org May 29, 2009 In Response to the "Hungry for Education" Campaign of LAUSD Teachers and Community Members The Association of Raza Educators of Los Angeles, comprised of teachers, students, parents and human rights activists, extend our support and solidarity to all our sisters and brothers participating in the HUNGRY FOR EDUCATION hunger strike, including the 4 members of our ARE-Los Angeles family. We further demand that members of the LAUSD School Board rescind their vote - a vote that calls for spending only part of the stimulus money, resulting in an increase in class size and the dismissal of thousands of qualified, hardworking and inspiring teachers - and work closely with union leaders to help right a wrong that will affect the future of our children for years to come. In solidarity and struggle: The Association of Raza Educators of Los Angeles
