Democrats, it's safe to say, support public K-12+ Education. As you may know, Youngkin, who aspires to follow Trump in infamy, is attacking the academic integrity of two local public education institutions: George Mason University and Fairfax County Public Schools . His gang of governors at GMU are voting Friday on the future of GMU's well-respected president, Gregory Washington . For the moment, let's focus on the plight of GMU by sending the governor an email using his contact page [[link removed]] to let him know where you stand.
You can also attend the two Friday, August 1 rallies organized by Red Wine & Blue:
* Part 1: Pack the Board of Visitors meeting [[link removed]] . Friday, August 1, at 8:30 AM at Merten Hall, 4441 George Mason Blvd, Fairfax [[link removed]] .
* Part 2: Hands Off George Mason University Day of Action [[link removed]]. Part 2 of this Day of Action is attending this Public Assembly in front of Merten Hall this Friday, August 1, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM.

Our School Supply Drive Director, Marguerite, asked us to share this message: We are a little more than half way through our goal of $30k for the Backpacks. We've raised about $18,000 in monetary and in-kind donations but still have $12,000 to go. The Amazon wish list closes this Wednesday but what we really need to make this year's drive a success are monetary donations to finish buying the supplies that are not on the list or have not been purchased.
