We’re just days away from the County Council’s final vote on whether or not to fully fund our public schools – a decision that impacts children, families, and educators across Montgomery County.
On Thursday, May 8, we’re letting them know we’re watching by flooding their social media feeds with posts and tags publicly calling on them to do the right thing and fund the school budget.
Share one of the posts below and tag the County Council members and @mceanea throughout the day on your platform(s) of choice. Write your own message if you feel inspired – but be sure to tag a councilmember and include #FundMCPS. The Councilmembers’ handles are listed below.

[@Councilmember] Today’s MCPS students are tomorrow’s Montgomery County citizens. #FundMCPS now, for a flourishing future.
