November 5, 2015: Day of Action to STOP the Corporatization of Education

Want to see what happened on November 5th? check out our Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.

Charles Koch said it himself -- Koch's massive spending on university programs is part of his donor network’s $889 million two-year budget. After telling USA Today that a third of the money is for candidates, “‘a good part of the rest is education and research,’ Koch said, ticking off university grants and other projects he is supporting.”

With the 2016 elections just a year away, we have a chance to clog Koch’s political pipeline by continuing to ramp up our local campaigns and national media efforts that are exposing Koch’s undue influence and political agenda on campuses. 

We took ACTION!
