Protesters gathered in Kentucky’s capital on Monday morning to express their dissatisfaction with state legislature’s proposal to make cuts to public education funding and pension bill that was passed last week. 

Many Twitter users reacted to the protest using #120Strong and #120United. 

KENTUCKY IS OFFICIALLY #120STRONG. MCCREARY COUNTY JUST CALLED OFF AT 10 P.M.

NO county school district will be in session tomorrow. MAP KEY — RED = Called off for rally/sick, GREEN = Spring Break.

Kentucky: Democrats are rallying against a budget that includes RECORD funding for students and fully funds ARC payments, retired teacher health insurance and family resource centers. Their motivations are purely political. Don’t be fooled! https://t.co/Jng318YEvu

A legislator just walled past me into the building. I told her “Good morning! It’s a big day!” and she said “I’m going to MY job!”

This is the contempt they have for teachers and students fighting for public education.#120strong #120united

Kentucky teachers are taking over the Republican controlled state government in Frankfort today.
