March4Schools turned out a huge number of teachers, education support professionals, students, parents, working families and other public education supporters. The rally launched a statewide grassroots movement to change the course of a state legislature that up to now, has failed to make public education a priority in Arizona. The rally forced our Governor to reverse earlier statements against considering new taxes.
Much is left to be done. The March4Scools rally that ended with education supporters completely circling the Capitol grounds will now move into communities throughout Arizona. Stay involved and tell you friends to join us as we continue to “march for schools, march for students, march families” until public education becomes the priority of Arizona’s elected officials.
Tell us about what you plan to do back at your school and your community to build support for public education. Tell us about your experience at the rally; what you saw and heard.
