MEJC and its community partners are asking for the state government to adequately fund our schools by expanding education funding, and by making key investments in 31a at risk funds, special education, student mental health, school facilities, and English Language Learners. We need parents, caregivers, students, and community members like you to make the case that our students are worth the investment. Join us 3/19.

2026-2027 and beyond.
RED for ED: Two weeks of people-powered action to Fund MI Schools!
Invest In MI Kids, a hopeful ballot initiative that would tax the top 1% in Michigan to help fund our public schools, needs nearly 500K signatures to get on the
November 2026 ballot so, from February 14th -28th, we are asking volunteers to help collect signatures to get us there and we need YOU!
It’s all hands on deck so we can better fund teacher’s salaries, improve career/technical education and lower classroom sizes. This tax would raise over
$1 BILLION for public education.
Join the fight for equitable funding for Michigan's public schools!
Beyond full and fair funding, students, teachers, family members and other caregivers need to have a voice in how funding is used to transform our schools.
In the past year, we've held listening sessions and conducted surveys to find out what communities really think about what schools need to help students succeed. We're just getting started. We have to be ready to push back against those who are seeking to undermine Michigan's public schools for their own agenda and
profits. Tell Michigan legislators to raise dough for our schools!
MEJC State of Education Town Hall 2026
Watch MEJC's State of Education Town Hall that we held on Wednesday, February 4th, to break down what’s really happening in Michigan education right now. There are updates on the Michigan legislature’s budget fight, we unpack the national attacks on public education, and we talk honestly about how these decisions impact students and communities.
