Show Your Support For Public Education
Can you be there on Thursday?
Can you call City Council Today?
Teachers, counselors and many others have been laid off. Programs have been cut. The future of our city hangs in the balance.
On Thursday, City Council will make critical decisions about the future of education for Philly's kids. Unfortunately, the needs of our children will be drowned out by the opponents unless we make ourselves heard. As a City, we are in support of City Council finding the money to fund our schools--no matter where it is. We know that our communities will be safer and more productive places if we have quality schools. Council will be feeling pressure from lobbyists. They also need to feel the pressure of a City demanding that they commit to funding our schools.
Be There Thursday! Bring your sign and support of public education.
Thursday, June 16, 2011 - City Council doors will open at 8:15am. Come as soon as you can!
City Hall, Room 400 - Enter at the Northeast corner of City Hall (bring photo ID).
City Council Vote - The battle for funding for our schools and our kids and our city is not over - it’s decision time.
