Let's all rally together to make a difference. On March 24th
the rally in Austin will protest the destruction through neglect of the public
school system. We want to get as many people as possible to ride with us to
Austin. To save a seat on our bus, reserve your spot today! Texans Together is
chartering at least one bus, currently leaving from the Alief area, but will
charter as many as we need to get people to Austin. Click Here for more info!
