Dear Friends and Neighbors in Jamaica Plain,

Our public schools and communities are in crisis, but we can take action to help - and it only takes 30 seconds! Will you add your signature to Stand for Children's petition in support of municipal relief legislation to give cities and towns the tools they need to prevent devastating cuts to public education and other services?

These relief measures can keep teachers in classrooms and help protect the state's one million public school children from the worst effects of this recession.

Just follow this link: www.stand.org/ma/petition. Help us gather 2,500 signatures by May 15th!

Thanks!
