Parents and community members on the march

Channel 7 reported at around 9 this morning;

Happening Today

Dozens of people will march (at Wilson Middle School) Thursday, starting at noon, asking for change. The protest will begin at Wilson Park and go up and down San Pedro and then around Wilson Middle School. (The hope is that) community members will attend and pay attention to realize how bad things are getting.
They and other folks who believe the leadership of the APS isn't paying enough attention to problems in their schools and neighborhoods are looking for support.

Perhaps if it had been reported under Happening Tomorrow,
KOAT's effort to inform the democracy would have enabled more parents and community members to show up and march. But at least they are reporting that there are a number of parents and community members who believe the leadership of the APS isn't paying enough attention to problems in their schools and neighborhoods.

Government of, by and for the people includes a seat at the table where decisions are made about wielding the people's power and spending their resources. A table where honest to God two-way communication takes place between the leadership of the APS and the community members they serve.
