Friend,

It’s “National School Choice Week,” an annual effort by pro-voucher advocates—backed by billionaires like Betsy DeVos and the Koch brothers—to tout schemes to funnel taxpayer money away from public school students and toward private, religious schools through private school vouchers.

There are so many reasons to oppose vouchers. They threaten public education and religious freedom by forcing taxpayers to fund religious education and indoctrination. They give money to wealthy families whose kids never even attended public school. They fund private schools that discriminate against students, families and staff. They lack accountability and have a history of fraud and abuse. And they don’t improve students’ educational outcomes. 

ACT NOW: Click here to urge your state legislators to oppose private school vouchers!

We’re witnessing some of the most heated voucher battles in years. In 2023, 17 states expanded or created new voucher programs. And just in the first month of 2024, we’re already monitoring more than 100 new state voucher bills. For many state legislators and governors, destroying public education by diverting public money to private schools is their top education priority.

Friend, we’re fighting back to ensure that public dollars fund public schools that welcome all students. But we need your help – your state legislators need to hear from you.

Act now – tell your state legislators that they should REJECT private school voucher bills!

Thanks for raising your voice to protect public education and church-state separation.

Sincerely, 

Maggie Garrett
VP of Public Policy
