Texas
Raise Your Hand Texas is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to supporting public schools. They are a bipartisan group of business (HEB, TI and AT&T to name a few) and community leaders (our own Anne Foster, former RISD School Board President, is Executive Director), parents and tax payers committed to:

- Celebrating the successes of our public schools;
- Defending our public schools from unfounded and unfair criticism;
- Strengthening our public schools by seeking additional state resources; and
-Making practical suggestions that will provide a safe and effective learning environment for all Texas children.

Raise Your Hand Texas is asking all concerned parents to just add their name to support this cause - to help strengthen Public Education for all children in Texas.

Take a look at their web site, sign your support and forward it on to 5 friends. Raise Your Hand Texas is not asking for financial support or contributions, and you may receive an e-mail periodically to keep you updated on their progress. Raise Your Hand Texas is not a PAC (Political Action Committee) nor do they support any particular candidates. Our Texas PTA is working with Raise Your Hand Texas on some joint projects since both groups have very similar goals.
