Students Protest SB590

These students, some documented-some not, have done everything US society has asked of them and more.  Attending were college students, secondary school students, legislators, business leaders, and other activist groups who see the need for united action against the Indiana legislative agenda.



Rally Against SB590- Arizona Style Immigration Bill



Rally at the Statehouse

Despite very cold wind and rain, lots of folks came out to speak against the radical agenda of Daniels and Bennett. Strong speakers and an excited crowd was encouraging to see.  By the way, not once did I hear anyone about "more money" as Daniels always suggests is the only point of unions.  Instead, they talked about student achievement, the role of public education in a democracy, the arts; social studies; other important things schools do that aren't on ISTEP, professional development, hiring qualified teachers.

Save Indiana's Schools Rally

Saturday, March 5
2:30 p.m. Indianapolis Time
Indiana Statehouse - West Side Steps
Indianapolis

The General Assembly continues to debate pending education legislation that, if passed, will have devastating consequences for public school students and teachers. All Hoosiers need to continue to let our legislators know the consequences of their actions.  As part of ISTA's continuing efforts to organize against the negative legislation being proposed, they are hosting a second statewide rally in Indianapolis on Saturday, March 5 at 2:30 p.m.

NEA Secretary-Treasurer Becky Pringle will be joining Hoosier educators at this important event.

This is another important opportunity to show lawmakers and all of the citizens of our state that PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS CONTINUE TO STAND TOGETHER AND FIGHT FOR INDIANA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Plan now to gather your family and friends to attend the Rally for Public Education in Indianapolis on Saturday, March 5 at 2:30 p.m. Indianapolis time.  Bring handmade signs and banners! Because we will be outside, there are no restrictions on signs. There is a hope that that all signs and banners be positive not derogatory.

WEAR RED!
