Start the Day

for Students

An Urgent Statewide Day of Action for Students and California's Future

Last year, $17 billion was cut from schools and colleges.

Entire art, music and PE programs were eliminated.

More than 16,000 educators were laid off.

And large California corporations enjoyed tax breaks.

This year, in the wake of all these cuts, our students and schools

are being threatened again. We can't let that happen.

We need your help in this urgent effort to speak out about the painful effects

cuts are having on our students, schools and communities. On March 4, 2010,

"Start the Day for Students" and be a part of the campaign to fight for the resources

our students deserve. We must reform the state's tax structure and repeal the tax

breaks handed out to large corporations. It's time everyone paid their fair share.

We all know that education is essential to building a better California. Working

together, we can make sure our students get the resources they need to succeed.

Join this urgent action for our students and our future.

Start today by making plans for March 4 and joining the

conversation at www.standupforschools.org
