Lawmakers just got $730 million from new revenue to add to the state budget. We must use this funding to help students who face the most barriers to educational opportunity.
Let's finally invest in the Equity Fund our education experts say is critical for providing an adequate education for all of Virginia's students.
To take action:
1. Take a picture of yourself with a handmade sign or this template.
2. Email it to your state senator and delegate.
3. Post it on social media (or send it to us to post).
4. Ask your friends to take action with you.
The budget will be decided soon. Take action today!
