Speak Out with MEJA! Fully Fund Our Public Schools!
Tuesday, 10/21: Speak Out with MEJA! Fully Fund Our Public Schools!
Please join us and raise your voice alongside MEJA and allies in support of our students and fully funding our public schools!
Time: Tuesday, October 21 at 3:00 pm
Location: State House steps (24 Beacon St, Boston)
Massachusetts is facing cuts to education and healthcare, but we have the power to stop irreversible harm to our students and our communities’ futures. The federal government continues to siphon funding and supports from our students, especially our special needs, multi-lingual, LGTBQ+, and lowest-income students. This year, the Governor vetoed critical funding to reimburse local school districts for funds lost to charter schools—money that is essential for supporting investments in our public schools. Now, state legislators have an opportunity to override the Governor’s veto and prevent further gaps in funding our classrooms.
Please register at https://actionnetwork.org/events/speak-out-with-meja-at-the-state-house and be part of our collective voice!
The community is demanding equitable funding! With Fair Share funds, we can prioritize closing funding and opportunity gaps. COME RALLY! COME SHOUT OUT! COME SPEAK OUT.
