Where: Start:Student Center at 13th & Montgomery (meet outside) End: State Rep. John Taylor's district office: 2901 E. Thompson St. (1 hour walk from campus)
When: 2PM, Thursday August 6
Why: To demonstrate our unwillingness pay a 45% tuition increase at the hands of State Rep. John Taylor withdrawing $175 million in state and federal funding for Temple University.
Goal: To put State Rep. John Taylor to public shame in forcing families and students to such an increase in the roughest economic time of our generation.
Temple students the ball is in your hand. School only starts a few short weeks away, and this tuition increase will be a deciding factor if you or many of your friends will be coming back this upcoming school year.
We will walk from campus to his district office in numbers.
Local news media is contacted and will be on hand.
If you live outside of the city, come to the city.
If you have work, take off for a few hours to attend.
If you have summer class, ask to be excused for this purpose.
Do not decide that you will skip this and wait till see it online or on the nightly news.
Show up and make your voice heard in numbers!
Temple students will NOT be ignored!!
