Keep on keeping on!

Hello Everyone,

First thing I want to say is thank you! I know how hard it is to keep showing up each morning and afternoon, especially when the numbers have been a little lower than what we anticipated. But, we are making a statement, and even if it is 4 of us or 45 of us - we are fighting.  We did great today! 


A few of you mentioned that you were supporting the cause, but couldn't make it to demonstrations or even to walk in/out with the group - you are still helping by supporting and that is all that matters. Nothing should be done unless you are completely comfortable with it, and thank you for passing the information on and bringing a friend when you can!  We even have a few work-deprived teachers that have walked out to make a statement, but have 'snuck' back into school to work with kids or get some things done.  Whatever you can do!!!

Good News! We have made connections to the LV Sun and we made it to the paper! WooHooo! Go US! Here is the link: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/apr/27/las-vegas-teachers-protest-proposed-education-cuts/


Don't forget:

CCEA & SEIU in a rally at Cashman Field from 1pm to 3pm; Parking Lot D. Free parking provided in parking lots A, B, and C.  Wear red or represent Harney!

Goal: Protect Public Education & Protect Collective Bargaining

There will be Death Wreaths to memorialize the death of public education & Coffins to place your letters to the governor.  Bring your cell phone to make calls to your legislators while you are there.  Just because they say they are not listening doesn't mean that we stop trying!

Carpools will be meeting at HMS at 12:15pm.  Please pledge to bring five additional people – educators or not.  All are welcome.  Bring sun block!!

On Monday, May 2^nd, CCEA is encouraging teachers to Work to the Rule and wear all black.  This is the day the Economic Forum will report what the state revenue will look like for the next six months.  The idea behind Working to the Rule is to perform the tasks required by the collective bargaining agreement but nothing more.
