Join The Protest! Save Our Schools!
Brenda and Suzanne are about to lose their jobs as the Reynolds School District guts its music education program, among others. They wrote a protest song, and have been interviewed on several news outlets. You can read about it here, then send these links to your friends and legislators. We can't let this happen in Oregon.

OPB Think Out Loud Interview:
Suzanne was interviewed on the Thursday May 30 show called "Cutting the Budget." While the entire program is worthwhile, Suzanne's interview starts at the 37 minute mark (37:50 to be exact) and continues, with some interruptions, through the end of the program (at 51 minutes).
