Since September, LOHV-NYC has campaigned on the streets of Washington Heights - home of the City Council's Education Committee Chairman - and lobbied at City Hall to bring humane education in city schools. Our hard work has paid off! On December 10, the City Council's Education Committee will hold its first hearing on humane education!
The committee will hear testimony from the city's leading experts on humane education, including Meena Alagappan, Esq. (executive director of Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers) and Sheila Schwartz (Chair of the United Federation of Teachers' Humane Education Committee). The committee will also hear testimony from LOHV-NYC's executive director John Phillips.
It's essential that City Hall be packed with humane education advocates! The hearing will be immediately preceded by a press conference on the City Hall steps. Please attend! With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of countless children and animals.
