Lowell Education Justice Alliance Legislative Forum

March 11, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Please join with the Lowell Education Justice Alliance for a legislative forum on education funding.

Featured guests STATE SENATOR Edward Kennedy and
STATE REPRESENTATIVE Rady Mom.
Legislators from surrounding communities have been invited.

**See below for list of confirmed legislators. We’ll add to the list as they confirm.

TELL YOUR STORY on why we need full funding in Lowell and greater Lowell schools. It’s time to hold our elected officials accountable for fixing the crisis created by chronic education underfunding.

Who We Are: The Lowell Education Justice Alliance (LEJA) is a grassroots coalition of parents, educators, students, school staff, and concerned community members who are committed to building a stronger and better public school system driven by community voices.

Our Mission: We are bringing together parents, students and educators—along with our regional statehouse delegation—to urge them to pass the Education Promise Act and the Cherish Act. This is part of a statewide campaign to #FundOurFuture and fully invest in public education in Massachusetts —from kindergarten through college.

Co-sponsored by:
AFTMA • MTA • MEJA • UMass Lowell Labor Education Program • PHENOM • SEIU 888
