Fundraiser in NYC for ed reform warrior Jared Polis
Join DFER's Joe Williams next Sat. on his birthday for a fundraiser in NYC for ed reform warrior Jared Polis, a new House member from Colorado:
Dear Ed Reform Warrior:
I'd like to invite you to celebrate my 40th Birthday by attending a special NYC reception for Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colorado.)
In the year since Congressman Polis was sworn in and assigned to the House Education and Labor committee, he has proven to be an extremely effective partner for reform. As the only member of Congress who has actually started his own charter school, Rep. Polis hit the ground running and emerged as a key voice in backing President Obama's school reform agenda.
Most noteworthy, Rep. Polis has led the way to help expand and replicate successful charter schools through the federal ALL Star act. This is the kind of pro-reform legislation that will be a game-changer once we get it passed.
Please join me to celebrate 40 wild and wacky years and to appropriately thank Rep. Polis for being a great friend, a valued charter champion and for his continued leadership on education reform issues.
Even if you can't attend, please consider supporting Rep. Polis' work by contributing through the link below.
When: Saturday, April 24th
Time: 4 to 6 p.m.
Where: The Half King, 505 W. 23rd St., NYC
Contribution levels:
- Tickets: $100
- Friend: $500

Thanks and have a great weekend!
Joe
