16. Why the hell did she go there?
Wed Mar 7, 2018, 06:43 PM
Mar 2018

My school board invited her right after the election and I heard about it (former teacher and union rep) and went to the Ed Center to voice my opinion and found out I wasn't alone. So many people complained that the invitation was rescinded.

She should not be in her position in the first place...like the rest of the Cabinet. Going to FL and acting this way is typical and expected behavior. No surprises here! #ENOUGH
Attend the Nationwide Walkout March 14th and the international March For Our Lives rallies March 24th.

#ENOUGH National School Walkout: Wed. March 14
The Women's March is organizing a National School Walkout on Wednesday, March 14. At 10am in each time zone, students, administrators, teachers, parents, and community members are encouraged to walk out of schools for 17 minutes, in honor of the 17 victims of last week's shooting in Parkland, FL.
Follow @USSchoolWalkout on Twitter for details.

March For Our Lives March 24 in DC and sister cities.
School safety is not a political issue. There cannot be two sides to doing everything in our power to ensure the lives and futures of children who are at risk of dying when they should be learning, playing, and growing. The mission and focus of March For Our Lives is to demand that a comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to address these gun issues.

Participants are also coming together to register voters at various marches, to ensure that outrage today will translate to high turnout during November’s midterm elections.
