Begin forwarded message:

  Teachers at Hoover High School are trying to get the word out to the general
  public, the government, and the media just how devastating the proposed
  budget cuts will be to the education of all children in California's  public
  schools.  We are operating with the blessing of the union, but their efforts
  are concentrated on helping all those that received pink slips (around 1,000
  people).  It is our goal to have all these pink slips revoked as the
  legislature or the governor himself reverses these proposed cuts.

  --WHAT:  DEMONSTRATION & MARCH

  --WHEN: Saturday April 19th, 9:15 AM

  --WHERE:  Balboa Park: grass at corner of Park Ave. & Presidents Way

  --WHY: Protest the budget cuts to education

  --PARK:  On Street, Balboa Park Parking, Veterans Admin Parking (across
  street)

  We need EVERYONE'S help!-- this is truly a grassroots effort!!

  --We will walk from Balboa Park to the State Building downtown (see attached
  flier).

  --We need as many people as possible.

  --Participants are to include parents, children, teachers, staff, UC and Cal
  State students and staff, community college students and staff, friends,
  family and all others who care about the education of California's children.

  --All teachers should call the Union office at (619) 283-4411 or go to their
  website at sdea.net to give them your home phone and/or personal email so we
  can contact everyone.

  What we need from every teacher, staff member and concerned citizen:

  --Participate in the walk

  --Call/ EMAIL everyone you know that could possibly participate in the walk.

  --Help in anyway even if it is to just make posters or provide carpools...

  --Get the PTA at your schools involved and active in supporting this cause.

  --Hand out fliersin your neighborhood.

  --Go to CTA.org and use the links ("tell your lawmaker to reject the
  proposal") to send your reps in Sacramento an email voicing your disapproval.

  These budget cuts are taxes on all the children and families of the public
  school system in California.

  Less teachers and less resources for the schools means less resources for the
  students and less attention paid to every student.

  We should not balance the state budget on the backs of children!

  Thank you in advance for your help and support!
