Hello SEA,
Thank you for wearing Red in support of Public
Education yesterday. At the WEA rally in Olympia state legislators shared how
important it is that they hear from you as teachers, parents, and community
members, how the cuts that have already taken place are impacting the students of
Washington State. In some ways the most powerful allies we have in fighting
future cuts are the stories of our classrooms. Please take the time to reflect
on how recent cuts have impacted your classrooms and the education that we are
able to provide today’s students. Then share that story. Share it with
legislators, with your friends, and with your community.
Here is contact information for the three legislators
representing Shoreline and Lake Forest Park:
Representative Ruth Kagi: Ruth.Kagi@LEG.WA.GOV
Representative Cindy Ryu: Cindy.Ryu@leg.wa.gov
Senator Maralyn Chase: Maralyn.Chase@leg.wa.gov
You can easily contact the legislators representing your
home district via http://www.ourvoicewashingtonea.org/action.html
Are you YouTube fluent? Are you interested in helping to
establish a YouTube channel where educators, parents, and kids can share the
stories of how cuts hurt them? Please contact me so that we can get share
messages with a broader audience.
