Save Texas Schools 2012 Rally at the Capitol on March 24!

[font color=green]The second Save Texas Schools rally runs from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 24 at the Capitol in Austin. For more information visit http://savetxschools.org/[/font]

One year ago, over 13,000 people gathered in Austin to speak out against budget cuts to public education. It was the largest capitol rally in modern Texas history! However, our legislators chose not to listen. Now, we need to come back before the primary elections to let them know, “We’re watching, We Remember and We VOTE!” It’s important that every candidate know that education is an issue that they CAN’T IGNORE!

Make plans now to join us in an even larger rally. 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!

The STS March begins at 11 am at 12th and Trinity. Rally begins at noon on the south steps of the Capitol.
