Dear friends of the XChange,
If you are a reader of this blog, you already know about today’s Rally for a Responsible Budget in Harrisburg. This rally is being spearheaded by the CLEAR Coalition for PA, of which APSCUF is a part.
Here’s the official call for participation from the CLEAR Coalition web page.
Join us on Tuesday, May 3rd from 1:00-2:00 in Harrisburg on the front steps of the State Capitol. We are expecting thousands of people to come out and stand up for a fair state budget. The buses are full so, but please join us by drivng yourself to Harrisburg to stand with us!
APSCUF-KU is not sponsoring buses for this trip in part because the CLEAR Coalition has organized buses around the state. All you had to do was sign up and you could have taken a bus for free. KU faculty members were informed of this rally a while back by our State APSCUF president, Steve Hicks through direct email. I am hoping to see some of my colleagues there today. I know that several of our AFSCME brothers and sisters will be there. I know that many students will be there (despite the fact it’s finals time). This will be our last major rally before the end of the spring semester.
So, if you haven’t committed already, consider driving out today. Follow this link for driving directions to the State Capitol from Kutztown.
If you cannot attend the rally, take a few minutes and check out the CLEAR Coalition’s web page for very useful action-oriented budget information such as a Budget Took Kit:
If you can’t make it to the rally and are sick of hearing about the budget, then I wish you a great end to the semester, a summer of relaxation, and the hopes we’ll all have jobs come the fall.
