Dear Friends of Save Texas Schools,

 

Rally Day was great!

Around 2,000 Texans from all over the state gathered to hear amazing speakers and performers, and to get geared up for action over the next two months of legislative session and beyond. Check our Save Texas Schools Facebook page for up-to-date calls to action, and join Save Texas Schools to receive email updates.

If you missed the rally, you can go to our Facebook page and watch the Facebook Live video.

Why do we rally?

Texas is at a crossroads in whether we are going to continue depriving, demonizing and privatizing our public schools, or whether we are going to do the hard work of investing in our children’s future. The current budget being discussed in the Senate is dire, to say the least. Texas schools lost billions in potential support through tax cuts last session, and now we face cuts at the federal level. Enough is enough! Debate on the education budget starts next week in the House and Senate. Let’s come together with a HUGE response on Saturday to tell our legislators, “Do your job and fund public schools adequately and fairly!”
