Youth March for schools update

Youth March:
Monday, October 2
4 p.m.

Meet at West Main St. & Fitzhugh St.
Planned Organized and executed by youths! Adults welcome

This march is a first and it will be big! Advertising on WDKX and word of mouth have meant that we've had to rent buses to get students to the rally.

The Campaign for Fiscal Equity will be back in court on October 10th of this year. The inequities in education continue to grow and children are becoming aware of the fact that they are not being given the same educational opportunities that other children have in wealthier districts. For instance, students in the Rochester City School District spend $6 per student on library books, while suburban districts spend $17 per student! The same goes for arts, sports, etc.

For some children, this march is the first time they are taking a stand and protesting a social injustice. Support our children as they fight back against a system that is failing them. Come and listen to them! They want to be heard.
Thank you,
