Take the Pledge
Arts education is the law.
As a concerned California citizen, I know that our education system is in crisis and I’m ready to change it. I’m adding arts education to the list of things I’m fighting for, for our students, their wellbeing and our future.
Students with an arts education are:
5X
less likely to drop out of school
4X
more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
4X
more likely to receive a bachelor’s degree
30%
more inclined to pursue a professional career
I pledge to:
Get Info about California’s current arts education landscape with data about the availability of visual and performing arts courses in schools, the value of social-emotional learning, and current legislation and policy priorities.Email my school board and let them know that arts education is required core curriculum, regardless of zip code, gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, race, or socio-economic status.Share this flyer with your principal, VAPA coordinator, and other school administrators to help them plan for equitable and sustainable Prop 28 implementation. (English + Spanish)Use any of these images to share them on your Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Make sure to use the tags @Create_CA, @TonyThurmond and @GavinNewsom. Use the hashtags #CreateCATogether, and #ArtsEd to join the choir of advocates working towards change!Support the movement by wearing our shirts, carrying our totes and using our mugs!
By adding my name, I pledge to fight for every student’s right to access a comprehensive arts
education, as mandated by the California Education Code. Students have already gone too long without the
creative curriculum they deserve.
