What: Rally for Student Civil Rights & Amply Funded Schools
When: 10:30-11:30 am, January 16th, 2017 (MLK, Jr. Day)
Where: Capitol Steps, Olympia
SAVE THE DATE! On January 16, 2017, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we will go to Olympia, advocate, and rally! We need you to add your voice to thousands of other voices to demand full and equitable funding of public education! WPD, NAACP, and WEA are co-sponsoring a rally to demand that our state fully fund public education now! WPD envisions a future where every child has an equitable access to an amply funded education. Fully and equitably funding public schools is a civil rights issue! Together, we can make our future vision a reality.
Participants are encouraged to stop by their legislators’ offices after the rally. We will provide advocacy materials, maps and guides.
Note: Stay tuned for transportation options to be posted in early January.
