It’s gonna be a big rally. The only question is how big.
“I’m hoping we have at least 3,000 people there,” Allen Weeks of local nonprofit Austin Voices for Education and Youth told us. “But I’d love there to be 13,000 people, or even more. And we’re working around the state to get people revved up.”
The rally Weeks is revving people up for – the Save Texas Schools Rally – happens Saturday, Feb. 22. Parents, students, and lovers of public education will converge on the Capitol at 11am to hear speeches and pressure lawmakers to increase funding for the state’s neglected public education system.
