Let's Support Mercedes Schneider
Donation protected
Dr. Mercedes Schneider is one of the best investigative researchers uncovering the corruption of the corporate privatization movement that is destroying public education. Her blog is almost 3 years old! Let's give her a wonderful holiday present from all of us who read her blog religiously https://deutsch29.wordpress.com/
Mercedes is a public school teacher who speaks out for public schools but so far she has not been paid for most of her numerous speaking engagements (other than expenses). A Chronicle of Echoes is a landmark book, but Mercedes saw very little money from it. (As an unknown author she did not get a lucrative book deal). Her second book, Common Core Dilemma is doing well, but again the royalty payments will not make Mercedes a wealthy school teacher this year either.
Here is what I am hoping you can help fund:
One more year of Mercedes' blog- $100
One more year of giving her access to the 990 database (tax records) : $350
I will pay for the deductions that come from using Gofundme.
I know many of you were generous before and helped me to fund Mercedes last year. She really appreciated it! Mercedes was too humble to ask for help then and I know she is uncomfortable asking now. But she will not be able to pay these expenses while she is waiting for future speaking fees, book royalties and potential funding. Full disclosure: Mercedes only made a couple of thousand dollars from all of her work last year, and that was before taxes.
Let's support her again. Last year, I paid for the costs of her blog, but who wants to help me this year? If you can spare a few dollars it would mean a lot to Mercedes and to those of us who depend on her work. Let’s give her and us a wonderful holiday present!
