#WashUOwesU A Green New Deal for Public Schools

Andrew Martin, Chancellor, Washington University in St. Louis

Washington University has a $12.5B endowment and property worth millions—but pays almost nothing in property taxes.

Meanwhile, public schools just blocks away lack resources to meet our families' needs.

It’s time to right this wrong. Join St. Louis DSA in our call for WashU and Chancellor Andrew Martin to provide $15M per year to fund a Green New Deal for Public Schools, including:

  1. Safe, Green Social Housing for Housing Insecure Families in St. Louis City
  2. Universal Pre-K & Expanded Childcare Programs in University City
  3. Green Spaces for Our School Communities
  4. Hazard-free Schools (Lead Abatement, Asbestos Removal, etc.)
  5. Public Health Centers in Schools
