Governors in Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and California need to hear from us now.
Join our community phonebanking to neighbors asking them to click-to-call the number to their governors to say NO to federal school vouchers that threaten cuts to our public schools!
Estimates predict that this could take almost $50 billion per year out of our federal budget - a cost that’s more than Title I (high poverty schools) and IDEA special ed funding combined.
This program will drain resources from public schools, sending them to the pockets of wealthy individuals with an interest in privatizing public goods. Private schools do not have to meet the same standards as public schools, and they do not have the same responsibility to serve every child.
That means public money can end up flowing to schools that lack basic accountability and can turn away students who need support. That means fewer public resources for the schools our communities actually rely on, and more power for a private system that leaves too many children behind.
RSVP today to join our phonebanking event and help stop this.
