Join us tomorrow at the Rally for Student Civil Rights and Amply Funded Schools!

It is the para­mount duty of the state to make ample pro­vi­sion for the edu­ca­tion of all chil­dren resid­ing with­in its bor­ders, with­out dis­tinc­tion or pref­er­ence on account of race, col­or, caste, or sex.

– Wash­ing­ton State Con­sti­tu­tion, Arti­cle IX, Sec­tion 1

Read­ers!

Do you believe in the Con­sti­tu­tion of Wash­ing­ton State?

Do you believe that all of our youth deserve a great education?

Do you believe that pub­lic schools are a essen­tial ser­vice that must be ful­ly fund­ed, so that every child in our state has the oppor­tu­ni­ty to gain the skills and knowl­edge they need to con­tribute to the well being of our demo­c­ra­t­ic society?

Then join us tomor­row as we ral­ly in Olympia for our stu­dents and schools!
