School Board Meeting

Call to Action! 

Board of Education Meeting 

Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 

6:00 pm 

Board of Ed. Building, Newark, MD 

Come stand up for Education, too many “crazies” are showing up and speaking. We don’t know how many of those speaking actually live in Wor Co. and whether they have children in our schools! Also, new member Katie Addis is pushing her agenda stating that she speaks for all of Dist. 6. We will encourage all Dist. 6 residents to stand up in support of the speakers from Dist. 6. 

Wear Red – your Strong Schools t-shirt or other red shirt. Joan will have some extra Strong Schools shirts at the meeting. 

Spread the word and encourage your neighbors and friends to attend. We really need folks with children in the public schools to come out! 

PLEASE COME TO THIS BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING!

If you plan to attend and/or speak, email Joan Roache at beachyogi@me.com so we know who to expect. Note if you live in District 6. 

Sign Governor Moore’s Petition

Governor Moore wrote, "Despite years of hard-fought progress, reproductive rights in the United States are under attack like never before.

That’s why I’ve joined the Reproductive Freedom Alliance, a coalition of 21 Democratic governors working together to protect and expand reproductive rights in our states.

I fully support four bills heading to the floor of our state legislature that will protect abortion access, privacy, and out-of-state patients—including a bill to create a constitutional amendment that will enshrine reproductive rights in the Maryland Constitution.



Will you help us build even more public support for this constitutional amendment to protect choice in Maryland by sharing our petition with your friends and family today?"

Message:

Subject: WALGREENS REFUSAL TO SELL ABORTION MEDICATION

Mr. Gates and Ms. Badgley,

I am appalled that Walgreens has chosen to stop selling abortion medication in 24 states. Some of those states, like Alaska, Kansas, Iowa and Montana, still have legal abortion. This decision to put your corporation’s benefit above the health and well-being of your customers is cowardly and appalling. Women will be placed in horrible and even dangerous situations because you choose not to help when you could. 

Until you reverse this shameful decision I will not shop at your stores and I will encourage others to do the same.

Please personalize, and please make sure you sign it. Ideally you will both send the email and call. Thanks!
