There has been an amazing outpouring of support for the rally/protest against the Governor this coming Thursday April 10th. We know he is currently scheduled to be at St. Margaret's in San Juan Capistrano around 5pm. Therefore, we should really be out there no later than 4pm. There is not much parking in the area, so plan to walk a little bit to get in place.
Since most people are on spring break, it is difficult to know how may people will show, but at the very least, we should try and position ourselves at the four corners around the school. There are three main ways to get into the school, so this should give us the best coverage. I will send another email to the Palisades Elem School group regarding which location we will stand.
Please wear black or pink. Many of you have the No Teacher Left Behind shirt, so please wear that if you have it. Also, please make signs, banners, etc showing your support of our teachers, kids and classrooms and defending Prop 98. We do not have a committee creating these signs and supplying them to others, as this is a grass-roots effort by a number of parents, so please bring your own. Remember, everyone is invited to be there, not just parents!
Also, while we were informed the Governor will be at El Adobe for a fundraiser, there is uncertainty when that will occur. Original reports stated that it will be after his visit to St. Margaret's, and now there are reports it could be Wednesday night. When we hear more news of the dinner, we will pass it along to those of you who mentioned they were interested in protesting there, too.
Thank you for all of your support!
