LSU Students, Faculty and Staff,
For years, students have been seen as apathetic, unorganized and broke.
Because of this, college students are generally ignored when it comes time for our political leaders to make decisions, even decisions that directly affect us. EducateLA has been formed to reverse this perception.
Please come to our rally at the Capitol today, which will take place from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Buses will take students from the Bell Tower to the Capitol at 9 and 9:30 a.m., and we will provide crawfish for attendees immediately following the rally. In addition, EducateLA-sponsored rallies will be simultaneously occurring in Monroe and Shreveport.
Today, college students have the chance to show our state that we are not apathetic. We have the chance to show our state that we are not unorganized. And most importantly, we have the chance to show our state that we are united for a common goal, even if we are still broke.
