Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who has been mentioned as a possible challenger
to Mayor Bill de Blasio in a Democratic primary next year, will be the
keynote speaker for a charter school march hosted by Families for
Excellent Schools and charter school executive Eva Moskowitz in Prospect
Park next week.
At the rally, speakers will call on the de Blasio administration to
stop what they perceive to be his opposition to charter schools, and
will ask City Hall to increase charter school capacity from 100,000
students to 200,000.
“New York City charter schools have had an incredible impact on
children across the city. That’s why I’m proud to march alongside
parents fighting for life-changing public charter schools," Jeffries
said in a statement.
Jeffries has been a consistent supporter of Moskowitz, her Success
Academy's network of schools and of charter schools in general, and has
been a featured speaker at Success Academy's annual benefit.
