Calling all “mama bears” and those standing for our cubs!
Yes, parents do have a say on what their kids are assigned in the classroom—especially when it comes to explicit content. We made that clear in the election—and now it’s time to make it clear at the State Capitol. Come join us to ask legislators to affirm those rights in key legislation. We are stronger when we speak together!
Join us on February 2nd at Virginia’s State Capitol. Our day will begin bright and early at 8:00 am and conclude at 1:00 pm. Come ready with stickers, signs and “mama bear” gear, ready to view critical legislation in committee, speak to your legislator and be recognized from the floor of the House of Delegates.
When you register, you will receive helpful tips and information to prepare you for our advocacy day.
