Reach 10 for Education in Jacksonville Florida - 10 Days, 10 Calls, 10 People


We have 10 days to make a difference. Just 10 days to tell our Legislature to Fund Education First, Cut it Last.

On Monday, April 25th, the Legislature begins the process of negotiating the Florida budget, and if they don’t hear from you the anticipated cuts to public schools could get worse. Tax cuts for corporations could get bigger on the backs of our schools.

Cuts to education have been coming for years. They are not new, they are not necessary, and they are NOT acceptable.

In a year when Tallahassee can give a tax break to companies like Expedia.com, how can we stay silent as they cut basic core services at public schools?

It is time for public education supporters to be heard. Call 10 friends and ask them to reach the 10 elected officials listed on this website.

We have just 10 days. The time is now. Call today.
