All around the state, we've been working day in and day out to make sure our kids get the college and career options they deserve, not more budget cuts. Thousands of faxes and emails have been sent to Governor Cuomo and events and public actions have been held all over the state to let the Governor know that he needs to protect school children, not millionaires!
Here are three ways for you to get involved:
On February 19th, Campaign for Fiscal Equity plaintiff, New York City Councilman Robert Jackson lead a march of 250 parents and students to the Governor's Mansion in Albany to rally against the $1.5 billion proposed education budget cut. The marchers delivered thousands of handwritten letters demanding the Governor to to restore education funding!
There are just EIGHT days left to submit your video entry to tell the Governor that budget cuts hurt. Win an iPad or $1,000 for your classroom or youth group by following these three easy steps:
- Make a short video addressed to Governor Cuomo that tells him why your school can't afford any more cuts
- Upload the video to YouTube
- Send a link to the YouTube Video to AQEvideocontest@aqeny.org
Education Lobby Day 2011 is just one week from tomorrow. Free buses from all over New York will travel to Albany on March 9th to stand up for our children. Click HERE to reserve your seat to be part of hundreds in attendance saying “Yes” to College and Careers and “No” to devastating cuts to education!
Thank you so much,
Harrison
