Parent Voices & Advocacy Needed for Student Busing
Parents voices and advocacy needed to assist with legislative change. Parents play a crucial role in advocating for change.
Here’s why your voice is so important:
-
Your voice matters because when parents come together and speak out, they create a movement that decision-makers cannot ignore.
-
A unified group of parents highlights the widespread nature of the problem, making it much harder for officials to dismiss.
-
History has shown that parent-led advocacy is incredibly powerful, often driving meaningful changes in education and transportation systems. Your voice truly has the power to make a difference!
We hope you will join us in our advocacy. We cannot tackle this issue alone. To make real change, we need to come together as a community and make our voices heard. That’s why we’re asking for your support in advocating for better busing.
Here’s how you can help:
1 Sign the Petition: We’ve created a petition to demand immediate action from the Department of Education and local leaders. You can add your name here: https://chng.it/ytNsFBN4PX
2 Spread the Word: Share this email and petition with other parents, caregivers, and community members. The more voices we have, the stronger our message will be.
3 Join Us in Advocacy: We’re organizing efforts to meet with local officials, share our stories, and push for meaningful reforms.
