California's public schools, colleges and universities are facing more than $11 billion in state budget cuts. These cuts are going to impact an entire generation of kids and alter public education for years to come.
March 13 is the deadline for school districts to issue preliminary pink slips to California's teachers. Last year, more than 10,000 teachers got pink slips and nearly 5,000 lost their jobs. And this year could be much worse.
Please join us on Friday, March 13 and Stand Up for Schools.
What You Can Do
1. Wear pink on Friday, March 13 to show your support for public schools, students and educators.
2. Organize or attend an event at a school near you.
3. Call or e-mail your Legislator. Tell them that investing in public education is an investment in California's future.
I have mine on. Do you have yours?

My daughter is a teacher who was pink slipped on the 12th. I sure did wear mine! But was really dismayed in the number of teachers who didn't wear pink. I guess if they weren't effected they didn't really care...too bad. Cause when they need support who do they think will be there to care?
