Friend,

What a week. Hope you’re hanging in there. Your voice is needed to protect public school funding and, well, existence. You read that right: Attacking public schools is horrifyingly on the list of shockingly bad things that Trump is trying to do right now; and we really need your help. So we’re bumping the below message to the top of your inbox in case you missed it.

*Summary: Join us from wherever you are to make a BIG positive impact on March 4th to #ProtectOurKids from assaults on our public education system and on their futures! This is a high impact action that doesn’t take a lot of time. MomsRising members across the country are committing to uplifting and supporting their local public schools and we’d love for you to join us! 

*Here’s how to be part of the March 4th Protect Our Kids Day (It’s easy. And don’t forget to click here to let us know you’re in so we can build even more power together):

• Draw a thank you note (with your kids, a friend, or on your own) for one of your child’s favorite local teachers or principal.
• Take a picture of the thank you note, post it online with #ProtectOurKids and tag @MomsRising.
• Deliver the thank you note to your child's teacher or principal on March 4th.

→ Then… the political power building magic will happen: We’ll compile all the pictures you post online with the #ProtectOurKids hashtag... And we’ll deliver the pictures to members of Congress who need to hear from us about the importance of standing up for public education. 

Feel free to forward this whole message to your friends and family so they can take action, too.

Thank you for supporting public schools, teachers, and administrators!

- Taylor, Ruth, Kristin, and the whole MomsRising and MamásConPoder team.

Subject: Friend, Say ‘Thank You’ to Local Teachers

Dear Friend,

Do you want to rise with us on March 4th by writing a simple thank you note to your child's teacher – and posting a picture of the thank you note online for all to see? Across the country, moms, teachers, parents, and community members are standing up for education together on Tuesday, March 4th. Sign up to let us know you’re interested in being a part of the wave of power supporting education.

It is no secret that our public schools are under threat of drastic cuts, just so billionaires like, Elon Musk, can get even more tax breaks. We cannot and will not let education be undermined by 1,000 paper cuts. That is why we are joining the efforts of our friends across the country to shine a bright light on the tremendous work that happens in our public schools. Please show your support of your local schools and teachers with a hand-written thank you note on March 4th to a teacher or a principal near you.

Are you in? Here’s how to be part of the March 4th Protect Our Kids Day:

• Draw a thank you note (with your kids, a friend, or on your own) for one of your child’s favorite local teachers or principal.
• Take a picture of the thank you note post it online with #ProtectOurKids and tag @MomsRising
• Deliver the thank you note to your child's teacher or principal on March 4th

We are committed to strengthening our public education system and we will continue to call on our lawmakers to prioritize our children and their education over billionaire tax cuts! So we ask you to join us in supporting our local public schools and teachers by delivering a thank you note acknowledging their hard work and tremendous contribution to our children’s lives and our country's future.

Together, we are a powerful voice.

- Taylor, Ruth, Kristin, and the whole MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team.

P.S. What would it mean to you and your children if Donald Trump and his Republican cronies in Congress succeeded in slashing funding or dismantling our public education system? We want to know how this could impact you and your family. Share your story here.
