we need to make sure this impacts the lives of 1% families though, and part of that involves the charter system, in a financial sense, since their kids are often outside the system. we also need to move at a coordinated state and national level. at this local level in LA we have a ton of hollywood industry families impacted though, so it had even more resonance than neighborhood teachers and schools needing resourcing has. for example our union president (who has a wild bio in movement and teaching work) was a guest on bill maher's show and got a standing ovation since maher's sister is a teacher.
