Protect Public Schools--Sign the Petition!
The Arizona legislature has passed a "universal voucher bill" (HB2853) which was signed into law by Governor Ducey on the last day of this session. This bill makes every school-age child in Arizona eligible for a voucher to attend a private or religious school. Our tax dollars will be diverted from our already underfunded public education system to this expanded voucher program.
Public school advocacy groups immediately began a petition drive for a "citizens' veto" which would put the measure on hold until a vote in November, 2024. Enough signatures must be collected by September 24th of this year.
Petitions are now available at Green Valley Democrats' Headquarters for your signature. This is a new petition--so even if you signed petitions previously, this was not among them. The GVD Headquarters is located in Continental Shopping Plaza, 190 Continental Rd., Suite #208. It is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
More information about the legislation and petition is available at:
