After years of underfunding by Harrisburg, the School District of Philadelphia is facing a $300 million deficit.  If these cuts go through, 340 school staff will lose their jobs. That means fewer teachers, counselors, and climate staff, and larger class sizes for students. But there’s a solution. Mayor Cherelle Parker is proposing a $1 per ride fee on ultra-wealthy rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft that would generate enough revenue to save all 340 school jobs!

How can you help?

1) Tell City Council: No Cuts to Philly Schools – Sign our petition

2) Register to attend a community event on the city budget and give testimony in support of our schools or simply be there to represent.

Philly students need your support to get this proposal across the finish line.
