UPDATE:
Dear PIIN Members, Friends and Supporters
Please be advised that there has been one more, final, venue change for the PIIN press conference tomorrow: Pittsburgh Colfax School, K-8
2332 Beechwood Boulevard Pittsburgh, PA 15217
We will be meeting in front of the school, on the sidewalk, at 3:30pm.
This location change is in response to the strong urging we received from the Colfax community and East End residents to keep the press conference in an accessible location to both of these groups,
Dear PIIN Members, Friends and Supporters,
Come out and show the united force of PIIN as we gather together to hold a press conference in protest of ‘We Won’t Back Down’, a Hollywood movie release filmed here in Pittsburgh that attacks Teachers’ Unions and misrepresents the process of parent organizing toward school reform.
We will meet this Friday, September 28th at 3:30 PM in front of the Manor Theater (under the marque), located at 1729 Murray Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15217 in Squirrel Hill.
The press conference will last less than a half hour.
Spread the word! Bring your friends, family and members of your congregations! We are looking for as many people as possible to show their support for PIIN in our collective fight for quality public eduction.
