From Our Community Partner: Michigan Education Justice Coalition: We are in the midst of a state budget emergency. Speaker Rep. Matt Hall and the Michigan House of Representatives are delaying the state budget process to go beyond the June 30th deadline. The possibility of them passing a state-wide budget is bleak, which means our schools will be unable to set their own local budgets. Because of this, schools may face staff lay-offs, delays in providing essential services, and other chaos. |
This is NOT normal! We need to resist this attempt to keep resources away from our kids. Last time we sent letters to Matt Hall, 750 people blasted his inbox and got him to release a public statement. What would happen if we sent him, Sen. Brinks, Rep. Kelly, Rep. Bollin, and Sen. Anthony 1,000 emails? 2,000? We just might be able to save public ed funding in Michigan. Send your email today. Let's be honest, we're all sick of this nonsense. Help us FIX school funding in Michigan by signing up to collect petitions for a huge ballot initiative we’re starting in July. The proposal? Tax the rich at a slightly higher rate and use the resulting money (about a billion extra dollars) to use exclusively Michigan public school funding. Want to learn more? Use the sign up below, and we’ll get you involved. |
