| We are in a critical moment. Power is being consolidated in the hands of the few, while attacks on democracy, bodily autonomy, and human dignity escalate. But nothing is inevitable. Justice movements are powered by people like you—people who organize, resist, and build a loving and liberated world. That’s why we have launched the Action Center Weekly Update—a resource to keep you informed, equip you with immediate actions, and help you strengthen your organizing skills. Each Tuesday, find our newest update at our Action Center as well as the archive of past updates. Check out this week’s update: sidewithlove.org/actioncenter |

A WIN for PSS and Henderson County:
On Monday, June 2 the Henderson County Commissioners approved the full amount requested by the Board of Public Education. The commissioners approved an increase of $763,463 for the local current expense appropriation and the restoration of $500,000 to the capital outlay appropriation.
This is what PSS advocated for throughout our budget campaign!
At the meeting Monday evening:
- we presented the commissioners with petitions signed by more than 500 Henderson County voters,
- many supporters of the public schools spoke in support of the budget request, and
- even more supporters held signs showing their support.
