We all know how challenging Education has been these past couple of years for everyone–educators, parents, and community members. AROS-PG and PGCEA have created a campaign titled: “Pandemic to Promise: Roadmap for Education Justice in Prince George’s” Top Issue Voting Campaign” We will include the community’s top two priorities in their contract campaign in a process called Bargaining for the Common Good.
In order to identify what the top two education priorities are, as well as boost the overall morale of our educators, parents, and community members– we will launch our “Pandemic to Promise Top Issues Voting Campaign Tour” where we will visit sites around Prince George’s County to include schools, school system, worksites, churches, community centers, sports fields, supermarkets and other venues in a “Pandemic to Promise” theme-decorated pickup truck with ballots, music, posters and information – asking parents, students, community members and workers to vote for their top two educational priorities.
Our “Pandemic to Promise Top Issues Voting Campaign” will be active from 3/19/22-3/31/22 with the purpose of:
- generating community conversation about dreams for education justice
- asking community members to vote their priorities
- organizing parents, students, community members and workers around these issues
-
creating a narrative that parents, students, community, teachers and many other school system employees are unified in their desire to create “the schools all our children deserve”
We would love to stop at your SCHOOL/ORGANIZATION between 3/19/22-3/31/22.
If you are interested in having us stop at your school or organization, please respond via e-mail to the community Karen Guzman (kguzman@pgcea.org) and Evie Frankl (eviefrankl@gmail.com) with the following information:
- What date is ideal for us to stop at your school/organization? (you can provide multiple dates if preferred)
- What time works best for you all (please be as specific as possible; you can provide multiple options as well)
- Do you or does your school/organization as a whole have the capacity to mobilize parents and ensure turn out on the day?
