    CNN Education Contributor and author Dr. Steve Perry is coming to speak about education issues. Author of the forthcoming education bestseller Push Has Come to Shove, which has been praised by news anchor Soledad O’Brien as “brilliant, a must-read and a must-apply", entertainer/education activist Bill Cosby as “pure gold" and former NY City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein as “stellar and powerful.” Former Washington D.C. Schools Chancellor Michele Rhee says of Push Has Come to Shove, “It should be read by everyone who wonders what’s wrong with our schools” while Waiting for Superman director Davis Guggenheim, also a huge fan of the book, calls Perry “a powerhouse.”

    Stand Up is an education nonprofit dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to attend an excellent public school.
    Stand Up was launched on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006. In 2009, it became a featured initiative of new Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. Since then, it has embarked on an ambitious agenda to reform failing public schools in the Sacramento region.
