Friends:
Today is the day that vouchers get heard in the Texas House of Representatives, otherwise known as "Red for Ed" day, so I'm wearing red. They're just getting going, but here is the link so that you can watch it live: https://house.texas.gov/videos/21734
In the meantime, what can you do? Kaci Wright of the formidable Texas Legislative Education Equity Coalition (TLEEC) headed by Dr. Chloe Sikes that is the oldest and largest education coalition in the state of Texas offers these resources so that you can from the comfort of wherever you are viewing this (if you're watching online), take action:
School Vouchers (SB 2) and HB 2 will go to the House Floor, Wednesday, 4/16!
It's not too late to act - please see the call to action below:
- Make calls to TX House Representatives to oppose SB 2 with TLEEC Messaging Toolkit
- Fill out and distribute Form to Share Your Voice against Vouchers
SB 2 Policy Resouces:
- Google folder: CSSB 2 - Documents and Information (bill text, explainer, questions)
I applaud TLEEC, Texas AFT, the Texas Freedom network and all the coalition member organizations that have done an excellent job in fighting school vouchers this legislative session. By all means tune in. It's going to be a long day.
