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?
