Build Schools, Not Walls!

This May Day, International Worker's Day, we invite PFT members and the general public to attend a May 1st, 2017 afternoon rally at the Gateway Building in downtown Peoria.

What is the rally about? 

Stand up and join millions of people to demand:

1) An end to mass deportation and threats to immigrant communities. Our students and their families deserve safe, welcoming, and thriving neighborhood public schools and communities!

2) That our schools be safe havens free from the threat of ICE raids, racism, and bullying. Public schools and college campuses should be free from the threat of deportation, bigotry, and hate.

3) That billions not be spent on a wall, but on strengthening public schools to educate all our children regardless of immigration status. We support great neighborhood public schools and colleges, not vouchers and privatization.

Stand Up for Justice!
