Rally in Tally March 25th
Florida: It's your turn to speak.
Legislators: It's time for you to listen and start taking notes.
Be part of history. Teach the civics lesson. Stand with us: Moms, Dads, teachers, business and community leaders. We demand that our state legislators uphold their oath to us, the people of Florida and obey the State Constitution and fulfill their paramount duty to provide a high-quality, uniform, safe and adequately funded system of public education.
Be part of the largest Education Advocacy Rally in Florida History. Thousands are coming from every area of the state.
Show your kids that you're willing to fight. Show them that they are worth fighting for. Make it clear that Florida's economic recovery depends on high-quality education for our kids.
On March 25th, get on the bus. Come to Tallahassee. We'll be there, along with advocates from every district in the state. The Rally starts at 11:30 on the steps of the Capitol. Don't think for a minute that we don't need you.
You stand on the thin line between what could be, what every child deserves. Your voice, your vote has the power to lift your child, our children and our state.
Join us. Every child in our state has the civil right to a high-quality public education.
See you in Tallahassee, March 25th. We are going to Fund Education Now. No excuses.
