If you couldn’t make the Save Texas Schools march and rally on Saturday March 24th, here’s a unique opportunity to let lawmakers know how you feel about proposed budget cuts. It’s important to protect our Texan priorities.
If you couldn’t make the rally, send the message below to your lawmakers: Say NO to underfunding our schools! Say NO to overcrowded classrooms and overworked teachers! Say NO to millions spent on an out-of-control testing system! Say YES to educating our children for the future!
After you send your letter, you’ll also have a chance to “Say Cheese” by uploading a photo of yourself and your comments displayed on a map of Texas to show that Texans throughout the state will be standing behind those at the Capitol Saturday.
