Dear Activist,

Please contribute to Class Size Matters, the only nonprofit focused on advocating for smaller classes and student privacy. Sadly, class sizes have increased in New York and in many other states since the great recession, and may increase even more given the Trump administration’s actions to defund public schools.

To counter this, we produce and share fact sheets with parents, community organizations and elected officials, and take legal action when necessary. This year, we filed a legal complaint with the NY Education Commissioner, challenging the NYC Department of Education’s refusal to reduce class size. If the Commissioner rules against us we will go to court.

Our work in student privacy has also been influential. Since we founded the Parent Coalition for Student Privacy in 2014, our organization has testified twice before Congress. Last spring, we released a Parent Toolkit for Student Privacy, which has been downloaded more than 2,200 times.

But all this costs money. We rely on parents, teachers and concerned citizens like you to make it possible for us to keep fighting in 2018 for what matters. Please help us by contributing online or by sending a check at the address below.

Happy New Year, Leonie
