Community Schools Rally + Day of Action!
Event description
Join the Community Schools Coalition for a rally and day of action!
Community schools provide critical wraparound services to students and families: everything from health care, mental care, and dental care to clothing banks and food pantries. Already, 97% of schools in Baltimore are community schools, but less than a quarter of DC's schools are able to provide community schools programming, and last year, community advocacy showed the city the need to maintain our Community Schools program. The Community Schools Coalition believes all schools should be community schools, and we need your help to make it happen! Join us in our fight to expand Community Schools programming in our city so we can better serve our students and families.
10:30am-- Rally on steps of Wilson Building
11:30am-1:30pm-- Share your stories with DC Council members
Students, educators, families and community members encouraged to attend!
Sponsored by the Community Schools Coalition: Communities in Schools of the Nation's Capital, EmpowerEd, Latin American Youth Center, Mary's Center, WTU
