AQENY gave us the chance to rally at city hall. When we got there Maria (our contact) handed us signs. These signs said things from AQE, Alliance for quality education to the amount that the school district was owed. Collectively the amount is around 5 billion dollars. We heard some very motivational speakers. There was one person in particular that is most memorable. He came in with a blue sweater about 30 minutes. “I know I’m late. But do you know who else is late *points at city hall* They are!” This was just one of his quotes. I found this a very educational experience. This was a press confrence. We were standing up for something that few people knew was a problem.
