Talking to neighbors and voters is how DSA wins campaigns. And we are better at that the more deeply we understand the community and issues the campaign is built on. This event is the first of a series is designed to help all members of NYC-DSA understand more about Bed Stuy, Eon Tyrell Huntley's campaign, key socialist issues, and the political terrain we face.

In this meeting, we will focus on understanding charter schools, their impact in Bed Stuy and across the state, and how to talk about this issue on the doors. Eon is a public school parent and former PTA president, while his opponent receives thousands of dollars from charter school PACs, so this issue is critical for the campaign. The problem is not families looking for the best education for their child, but well-funded charter lobbies that seek to siphon resources from public schools meant for all students.
