Save Our State Rally, April 6, 2011 - Austin, TX

By DemAdmin - Posted on 20 April 2011

On Wednesday, April 6, 2011, the Texas League of Young Voters Education Fund and members from over 40 organizations and concerned individuals from all over our State will gathered at the Texas State Capitol for a March, Rally and Lobby Day.

United under the "Save our State" mobilization and the Texas Forward Coalition, the organizations are calling on the Texas Legislature to show real leadership by adopting a balanced approach to the state budget. A balanced approach means canceling plans for devastating budget cuts in education; unfair pieces of Voter ID and targeted immigration legislation and fair redistricting for fair representation.

"Anyone with (Cynthia) Dunbar's animus toward public schools should never be in charge of them or have an important voice on what is in our students' textbooks. It's a travesty that the state's top officials aren't attacking the problems created by this dysfunctional board and demanding that Dunbar step down.

But we will. Dunbar should resign and leave the governing of this state's public schools to people who use them, serve them, care about them and understand that they are the future of Texas."
