May 24th Day of Action Parents & Community: “WAKE UP, CALIFORNIA”
Hello from the Educate Our State team:
Yesterday, we hosted a great call with over 50 excited and engaged parents and community members asking how they can help bring awareness to the budget crisis facing our schools and apply pressure on the state legislature to support public education funding. The call was the kick-off meeting for“Wake Up California!” a day of action organized by Educate Our State.
On Tuesday, May 24th events will be held to “Wake Up California!” to the disaster facing public education. Parents are planning rallies in front of schools and in city squares while others are working on larger scale plans with speakers and maybe even a local celebrity. All with the same message to our legislators: Save public education funding! Support our schools!
