Today hundreds of after school and summer learning practitioners, advocates, and youth are rallying at the state capitol and entering the building to inform our legislators about the importance of after school and summer learning and the critical need for a funding increase. If you are attending the challenge, thank you for speaking on behalf of all of those who could not be there. If you are not able to attend, there is still a lot you can do!
