Maybe the teachers will let Social Security supporters join their July 30th DC rally.

A couple of million people in DC next week might get the attention of the ruling class. Teachers and Social Security/Medicare recipients both need to let the government know there's more to We the People than banksters and billionaires and bomb makers.

NEW YORK -- After months of planning the "Save Our Schools March And National Call to Action," educators will take to the streets in Washington D.C. in two weeks to protest what they call the generally misguided direction of education policy.

The campaign has a broad social media presence and is easily identifiable by its logo: a yellow school crossing sign emblazoned with its call of alarm, "SOS."

"We're trying to alert people to a danger," said organizer and former Oakland educator Anthony Cody. "The end goal is to resurrect the ideal of a democratic public school system."

From July 28 to 31, when teachers and activists descend on Washington, Cody and his fellow organizers will find out just how successful they've been at attracting attention.
