2) March for California’s Future Successfully Concludes in Capitol!
The March for California’s Future successfully concluded on April 21st in the State Capitol. Thousands of supporters turned out to march the last leg of the journey with the core marchers, followed by a rally on the Capitol steps.
AFT National President Randi Weingarten joined the six marchers for the last mile, and then riled up the massive rally with a rousing speech. “These marchers didn’t march for themselves. They marched for our children, they marched for our future,” she said. Pointing to the teacher layoffs and devastating budget cuts that “would cut services for California’s most vulnerable,” Weingarten said that “there are alternatives to the destruction of California’s future,” including a tax system “where the rich pay their fair share” and that closes the corporate tax loophole.
“But we must do the hard work,” and that includes continuing to mobilize, Weingarten said.
