Get Invovled

TONIGHT: Textbank tonight from 6-7 pm on Zoom to constituents whose Republican state reps are on the fence about vouchers. Register for Zoom link.

Billionaires Jeff Yass, Betsy DeVos, and Dick Uihlein have spent over $90 million to influence the Texas legislature on vouchers. Organizers have successfully blocked vouchers six times, and we’re fighting to stop it again with a vote expected in April. We’ve done it before, and we can do it again—but we need your help!

The Economist reports that “evidence from other states suggests pupils will do worse as a result.
