Come to this invite-only convening to get trained on organizing skills, power-building, and crafting a campaign to take back our state from the rich.

Opt Out, Michigan! No Vouchers Public Information Session
Join the Michigan Education Justice Coalition (MEJC) Wednesday, May 27, 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.
National Teacher Appreciation Week: Michigan Teachers Deserve More
This week, we celebrate Michigan teachers and the care they bring into classrooms every day. But appreciation alone isn’t enough.
Right now, educators in Pontiac, Okemos, and Ann Arbor are in contract negotiations. Many are facing little to no meaningful raises while the cost of living continues to rise. Schools are struggling to retain experienced teachers, and classrooms are feeling the impact.
​
If we want strong, supportive public schools, we have to invest in the people who make learning possible. Fair wages, strong contracts, and real classroom support matter. Community members can take action by supporting teachers in Ann Arbor and showing up at local school board meetings to call for fair and timely agreements.
