Join the Community Schools Coalition for a rally and day of action!

UPDATE: Due to the emergency DC faces with congressional attempts to strip $1 billion from our budget which could severely impact our schools, we will be rallying to SAVE DC SCHOOLS funding and continue to invest in Community Schools. Following the rally we will march to Capitol Hill to demand the Senate keep their hands off DC's money!

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.

10:00 am-- Rally on steps of Wilson Building

11:15am-1:30 pm-- March to the hill and talk to Senators

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
