CAIRO... MADISON... Next Stop: SACRAMENTO! MARCH 1... MARCH 2... MARCH 14... Budget cuts in the state of California and nationally continue nearly unabated. But as the walkouts and complete takeover of the capitol in Madison, Wisconsin show, fightback is possible and it is inspiring. We deserve more and we can demand more! Now is the time to educate ourselves about what is causing the budget crisis statewide, nationwide, worldwide and possible solutions. It is also the time to reawaken what it means to lobby our elected officials with both words and deeds. As Egypt and Wisconsin show: activism is back and it works. Please be a part of the Statewide Days of Action in March to defend public education by considering bringing your class to our teach-ins on March 1st, understanding in the case of your students walking out and rallying on March 2nd and/or helping get them to Sacramento on March 14th.
