Please join the thousands of educators who will attend the rally and call upon the Commonwealth to give strong support to its public education systems - from pre-school through higher education. We need a strong presence from our members to call for full funding and debt-free higher education that let's us provide the education and research that fulfills the mission of public higher education without stressful workloads and inadequate infrastructure.
