Save Texas Schools: Alief to Austin

The nonpartisan group Save Texas Schools is having a rally in Austin on Saturday, March 12th to protest the deep cuts to public education.

For the Waiting for Superman crowd, here's your chance to go be Superman or Wonder Woman for Texas school children. Join thousands of parents, students, business owners, members of the faith community and other concerned citizens as they march from 12th and Trinity to the Capitol in Austin to rally for public education:

March: 11:00 a.m. starting from 12th & Trinity (1 block east of the Capitol grounds) 

Rally: Noon – 2:00 p.m. at the Texas State Capitol on the South Steps, Congress Ave. & 11th St.

There's a convenient option for folks in the Houston area who want to go up for the rally that morning and come back the same day. Former State Rep Kristi Thibaut and Alief ISD school board members Ella Jefferson and Ann Williams are providing a free bus. Details:
