Building a Statewide Voice for Children

The new Beverly chapter of Stand for Children will host a presentation next month titled "Building a Statewide Voice for Children" at the Beverly Public Library. Speakers will include Mary Sarris, the Executive Director for the North Shore Workforce Investment Board (WIB).

Significant, positive, and lasting change in education and education funding will not happen unless we join together to fight for state reform. This past March, Beverly started its own Stand for Children chapter. Stand for Children is a grassroots organization dedicated to lasting change in education in Massachusetts and across the country. Being part of Stand gives our kids—who have no voice and no vote—a strong voice at the State House.

There is power in numbers. We know there are many citizens in Beverly who can organize and act on behalf of our kids and future generations’ kids. Please join us!

The presentation will take place Tuesday, September 15 at 7 pm in The Sohier Room at the Beverly Public Library.
