Please help our public schools. Wear a button, place a sign, send a postcard, make a phone call. Tell 10 friends and relatives to vote No on 2. See the section below for more ideas and opportunities. Thank you!
Last week we had approximately 115 schools participating in our Walk-In. See a wonderful array of photos. You can upload yours there as well!
