Social Change Presentation
Human Service student were required to attend an event that challenged or/and enhanced our viewpoint about the human service field. We then presented our finding to our classmates. As a working single-mother, full-time student, and a caregiver, I have chosen to attend the Rally in Olympia to protect our future.
Rally in Olympia to Protect OUR FUTURE!
Rebuilding our Economic Future
On February 15, 2010, supports came to the steps of the capital in Olympia to RALLY! There were representatives for higher education, health care, clean air & water, resources for kids, the elderly, the disabled, and working families. These representatives came from all walks of life; parents, students, children, teens, and grandparents. They were just not locals from Olympia, but from all over Washington state.
How many people came to support HIGHER EDUCATION?
*After the rally they announced that there were over 5500 supporters that showed up to Olympia from all over Washington state.
*On the news…they claimed that over 7000 supporters showed up.

At one moment, I was asked to speak at the rally on behalf of community college students, parents, etc. I did not have the chance to speak, but this was part of my speech…
