We have 20 days to get the word out about local bonds and overrides — and people are already returning their ballots, so time is of the essence!

We really, really need your support.  Our organizers are on the ground helping many local campaigns across the state, and these local elections are costly to support. We are working to knock 10,000 doors a week and make thousands of phone calls to ensure that students and educators across the state have what they need. We are printing more flyers and palm cards, and placing local ads to make sure voters know the impacts. Local elections are often extremely close — and when they fail, districts face horrible consequences like school closures and teacher layoffs. We’re trying to put a stop to that, but we need your support. 

How can you help? If you are able to contribute $3, $10, or $50 to our efforts, you will be helping us to achieve WINS for KIDS in school districts all across the state! 🎉 Every dollar counts in these close races, and the more that comes in, the more we can DO in the coming weeks. 

👉 Don’t forget to check if YOUR district has a school funding measure on the ballot HERE

👉 Don’t forget to vote ✅YES and put your ballot in the mail by Oct. 28th to make your voice count!

👉 Volunteer to knock or call with us today! 

👉 Remember, bonds and overrides are local elections and all funding is protected, meaning it cannot be drained to ESA vouchers or touched by politicians like Supt. Horne or the state legislature!
