100 Stands For Arizona

Prop 100 supporters make lemonade | KVOA.com | Tucson, Arizona

“K-12 education is the biggest crisis we’re facing,” says parent/organizer of Saturday’s 100 Lemonade Stand campaign Dev Sethi, “It’s amazing in ten days, we’ve ended up with 84 stands around town.”

The Prop. 100 supporter says the purpose is to encourage people to vote yes, “If we can’t solve the education problem we can’t solve anything else. The legislature couldn’t put it together, and it’s in the parents hands. It’s in the community’s hands now.”

Sethi says if Prop. 100 fails, an entire generation of kids will lose out on opportunity, putting the future in jeopardy, “We are definitely in a tough time. We’ve got a bushel full of lemons.”

What a great day. Reports from all over Arizona are coming in. 100 Stands was a great success. We had big stands, little stands and in between stands. Thousands of people came to visit your stands, and we succeeded in reaching voters who were undecided or unaware of prop 100.

Even where people couldn’t stop, they showed support with honking horns, thumbs up, and broad smiles!

There were opponents out. Though not many. They saw and heard you and your supporters!

We will post photos as they come in.

The real test is May 18. Please keep this momentum going. We will continue to update our website with important news and commentary on the issue and please vote and get out the vote!

Thank you for making a stand for education in Arizona.

Apoyo a la Proposición 100

Cuando regreso a casa de la escuela, las dos nos sentamos a la mesa de la cocina y juntas hacemos nuestras tareas; este es nuestro tiempo para fortalecer nuestros lazos afectivos, mientras nos comunicamos y nos ayudamos mutuamente. Cenamos – siempre antes de las 8 – y nos vamos a dormir temprano, ya que queremos estar listas para el siguiente día de escuela.

Mi madre me ha enseñado que la educación es la llave del éxito. Si no contamos con un buen sistema educativo, no podremos contar con una buena fuerza laboral.

Pero, en Sunnyside High School, tenemos salones de clases sobrepoblados. En mi primer día de escuela en la preparatoria, el aula de clase del primer periodo me pareció tan pequeña por la gran cantidad de estudiantes que había – yo conté 37 pupilos, sin incluirme a mí. Poco a poco algunos estudiantes cambiaron su horario de clases y eventualmente el tamaño de la clase se redujo a sólo 20. Esto sucedió en casi todas mis clases excepto en mi clase de álgebra.

I have a lot of hopes for Prop. 100. One of them is to have more teachers and fewer students in my classrooms. I want to be able to go to school everyday and be confident that I will learn something great. I don’t want to be pitied because I went to a public school, or to what some people consider a “drop-out factory.”


Our state has a limited amount of money, which prevents us from having the things we need. A vote “yes” on Prop 100 doesn’t mean your taxes will go to waste. They won’t just go to the government, they will go to help students like my mom and me

Two of my favorite passages (one in spanish and one in english)
