the Budget Friday
Join us in protecting our children and California’s future. We
urge you to take three actions to “Flunk-the-Budget.” 1. Starting this Friday and continuing each and every Friday; email, call or visit your local legislators in their district office to express how harmful these budget cuts will be to our children. A sample letter and phone script are available here:

2. Participate in “Flunk-the-Budget Friday” activities, including a SUPER “Flunk-the-Budget Friday.” Contact your local PTA council or district to see what may already be planned in your area. Send the message loud and clear to your local legislators that this budget hurts our children! For more ideas go to:
