Parents March Against Dudley Elementary

"Hispanic parents from the new Dudley Elementary School are protesting outside of the school because the Principal and the District are not interested in solving the problems that are occurring with their children at the school. 'We want to be heard and respected, not ignored and treated like second-class people,' said Ms Rivera, a parent from the school."

The march happened on Thu, Feb 4, in front of the new school building. There was no rally, so the main sounds you'll hear are interviews and chants. The voice most in the foreground: local education advocate and practitioner Angel Cordero.

"Our voices are not being heard and our children are not being educated, we want the new Governor and the new Commissioner of Education to help us, we need dramatic change and we need it now!"
