SEOEA e-Pad Senate Bill 5 Update 

(Vol 1, Issue 7)

 

Greetings! 


From the OEA ACES Center 

 

Tomorrow, in 13 locations around Ohio, educators and members of the public are rallying for a state budget that protects education funding, supports the middle-class and creates jobs. Press reports indicate that the Governor's budget proposal may do just the opposite of that, so we need to make our voices heard loudly and clearly on the day that he unveils his proposal.

 

From Akron to Vandalia, and Maumee to Stubenville, there are events all over Ohio. Visit the Stand Up for Ohio website to see the event closest to you. All of these events start after school, so that it's more likely that you'd be able to attend them. We need to keep building our momentum and growing the public support for our schools and communities, and the educators and public servants who work in them every day.

This past weekend, members and supporters rallied against Senate Bill 5 throughout Ohio on behalf of our students, colleagues and our communities. Hundreds of people turned out to rallies in Chillicothe and Delaware on Saturday; over 30 educators canvassed

 

Come to a Defend the Dream Event on Tuesday in Athens

Host: Beth C., MoveOn member

Where: By the Athens County Courthouse (in Athens)

What: Republican attacks on workers and public programs are escalating in Wisconsin and in Washington, D.C. We have to stand up to Defend the Dream! So on Tuesday, we're getting together in Athens. At the event, we'll stand in solidarity by wearing Wisconsin red and white, hear from local speakers impacted by Republican attacks, and be a show of community force to stop this onslaught on the American Dream. A big crowd is crucial-please join us on Tuesday!
