Right To Learn recently partnered up with the Ventura Education Partnership(VEP), a community-based, non-profit, non-political association made up of parents, business, and community members. VEP was established in 1988 to support and enrich education in the Ventura Unified School District through community partnerships.
We were both so excited to learn that we were both planning actions on April 18th against the budget cuts, and it only seemed natural that we team up! Through this partnership, we’ll hopefully gain participation of the 5 high schools in the Ventura School District, with the idea that our online organizing tool on RTL site will help high school students recruit for the Ventura School District rally.
If you’re in Ventura and want to be part of the Right To Learn Day of Action, but not sure what to do, organize your friends and peers to go to the the rally!
