Brooke Lierman 410-­‐841-­‐3319 @BELBaltimore STEP TWO: Review the script below and make your calls. Hello, I’d like to leave a message for [Sen. or Del_____X________]. I’m very concerned about the $35 million in cuts to Baltimore City Schools. Can you please ask [Sen. or Del.] to do everything he/she can to stop the cuts. Our schools are vital to our communities and they need every dollar. We have to fully fund our schools so that our kids have the same opportunities. Thank you for your time. STEP THREE: Double your impact on social media. The Baltimore Education Coalition is taking over Twitter to get the attention of our legislators too! We need to make sure they know thousands of people all over Baltimore City are fighting back against education cuts. After calling your elected officials, tweet about it! Tweet to your senator, delegate, friends, and community members about why you care about schools. Tell them why full funding of the education budget is so important to you and why they need to be more for Baltimore. Make sure to always include #Stop35mCut so we can track the tweets and go viral! Other hashtags, handles, and example tweets are below. Example tweets: •
