Speculation about what will happen in the State Senate today is running wild. Nobody knows if they have the votes. Anything could happen. They could pass the budget today, delay until tomorrow, or even delay until next week.
Map to the Capitol
This is a very dynamic situation, and our ability to communicate and change plans at a moment's notice is essential to our success.
The schedule as it stands now:
Senate Gallery at 1:00 p.m.
If at all possible, be at the capitol and gather in the Senate gallery just before 1:00 p.m. today. Before you come,
make a telephone call to your Senators and let them know you are coming in support of public education and will be in the gallery watching today. Ask them to introduce you from the gallery.
If the Senate does not have the votes and decides to adjourn for the day, an immediate communication will be sent out on this email list, Facebook, and Twitter. If you are coming to the capitol later in the day, check to see if there are any changes in plans.
Demonstration on the Mall at 4:00 p.m.
There will be a rally between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on the mall of the capitol beginning at 4:00 p.m. If the legislature is attempting to push out the budget today or have passed it by then, this demonstration will be a critical tool to stop the budget.
If the Senate adjourns, this rally may be postponed. Please watch for updates. Visit
