Opt Out, Michigan! No Vouchers Public Information Session
Join the Michigan Education Justice Coalition (MEJC) Wednesday, JUNE 24TH, 2026 at 7:00 PM for a virtual public information session on the dangers of school vouchers and the proposed voucher tax credit in Michigan. This training will cover how vouchers divert funding away from public schools, primarily benefit families already able to afford private education, and create long-term risks for the privatization of public education. Participants will also learn about ongoing organizing efforts and ways to take action in support of fully funded public schools. A virtual meeting link will be shared before the event.
Michigan Communities Demand Full & Sustainable Public School Funding
Michigan parents, students, educators, and community members are calling on the Legislature to pass a school budget by June 30, 2026, so districts can plan responsibly for the upcoming school year. We urge lawmakers to adopt the Senate’s Opportunity Index funding plan, commit to the Michigan Blueprint for special education funding, and prioritize fully funding public schools by following MEJC’s Recipe for Fully Funded Schools. Michigan’s students deserve fair, sustainable, and timely funding.
URGENT ACTION: TELL GOV. WHITMER TO OPPOSE TRUMP VOUCHER SCHEME
We have gotten word that Gov. Whitmer may opt in to Trump's (and Betsy Devos's) federal voucher scheme as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA). This would allow up to $5 BILLION in public dollars to be used on private school funding. Our public schools are already hurting, and allowing private school vouchers into Michigan would decimate them.
Write Gov. Whitmer TODAY to tell her: oppose Trump and DeVos's federal voucher scheme - NO PUBLIC MONEY FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
