Save our Schools press conference tomorrow

From Lee Glazer:

The Save Our Schools Coalition is holding a press conference tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 6 at 6 pm at the main entrance of the Convention Center (801 Mt. Vernon Place, between 7th & 9th Streets NW) to remind Mayor Fenty that his "mandate" is a people's mandate.

As the Mayor's invitation says, "black tie optional," but get dressed up, put on your dancing shoes and come downtown to the Inaugural Ball an hour early, at 6:00 pm, to claim Mayor Fenty's victory for the communities who voted for him and to articulate a real community-based action agenda for public education, as well as affordable housing, health care, and public property, including parks and libraries This is the first in a series of events planned by SOS in collaboration with other activists around the city who fear that Fenty's populism may have been nothing more than a convenient campaign strategy.
