Save Our Schools and others did a GREAT job bringing together groups and individuals looking to make a difference in education.  I performed True Evolution Revolution as part of a brief speak-out where individuals discussed their stories about shortages in the education system, as well as initiatives to make change by different groups/artists/educators.  We broke into working groups exploring issues such as race, music/arts education, charter schools and protecting public space.  If you haven't been to Al-Fishway – A People's Media Cafe it was transformed into a solid workshop space with easels, and break-out areas ready for discussion.  It was a great networking opportunity – even met a fellow poet, William Stokes who works with Empower DC!  I'm hoping he'll make it out!
