From: [Your Name]

To Rhode Island's educational and political leaders:

Students are required to attend school every day, but for thousands, that means being sentenced to environments that are unsafe, unhealthy, and un-engaging.

Our hallways are patrolled by police. Our schools are falling apart. Too many of our classes are disengaging and some of us aren't even allowed to use the bathrooms without being escorted by an adult.

Enough is enough. Providence students are standing up for their rights, and we need YOU to step up.
