“… that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
The April 1 Amend the CPSIA Rally is intended to be a true demonstration of real democracy. This is a unique opportunity for teachers and schools to give kids a bird’s eye view of how citizens participate in legislative processes and influence the path of government.
The event will be streamed online as it takes place on Wednesday April 1, 10:00 am EST. You will be able to watch it as a class right here at amendthecpsia.com and even participate in a live online chat through which questions may be asked.
Afterward, you can ask your students to write about the event. If you decide to do this, we’d love to know how it went, and to read some of your student reactions. You can write to us at webcontent AT amendthecpsia DOT com.
