Join us October 6th from 6:00pm to 8:30pm to learn about some of the devastating impacts of school privatization and how to protect our area schools!

Anti-public education forces are trying to bring vouchers to Kansas. Join us for a free screening of Backpack Full of Cash in the Blue Valley/Olathe area Sunday, October 6 at 6:00 pm at Village Church (14895 Antioch Rd. in Overland Park). Learn about the devastating impacts of school privatization and how to protect your kids and their community schools.

Narrated by Matt Damon, this 96-minute documentary explores the growing privatization of public schools and the resulting impact on America’s most vulnerable children. Filmed in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Nashville and elsewhere, BACKPACK also features genuine heroes like the principals, teachers, activists, parents and students who are advocating for their education.

This event will include a short discussion of the film and its relevance to the current drive for vouchers in Kansas. It will be a great opportunity to educate those in our community who care about our public schools but don’t understand the dangers posed by the privatization movement.

Join us and bring a friend!
