🔊 MUST LISTEN: School vouchers are welfare for the wealthy. A scam built on the false promise of “school choice” that represents a massive transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top.

It is unconscionable that Arizona’s public school students remain LAST in the nation for per-pupil funding while $1 billion dollars are being diverted to unaccountable universal vouchers this year.

🛑 We must STOP this extremist civics takeover! Use our email tool to tell the Dept of Ed & your members of Congress that our schools are no place for partisan politics ➡️ bit.ly/NoCivicsTakeover

The Trump administration’s Dept of Ed is teaming up with extremist groups to force a partisan, "patriotic" curriculum into our schools. This isn't about civics—it's about a political takeover of what our children learn and an attempt to whitewash American history.

#TeamSOSAZ volunteers are on the front lines, doing vital work connecting with and empowering Arizona voters. From knocking doors ✊ to registering voters 🗳️ and educating the community 🧑‍🏫 we are putting in the work. And we need your help to grow our impact.

Extremists falsely accused public schools of "indoctrinating" kids to sell the idea of universal private school vouchers. Now, reports show these vouchers are funneling millions to politically-driven private schools — the real indoctrination 😡 Read more & take action @ bit.ly/22SeptemberEdReport

AZ’s public school teachers work extra hours & spend their own money every year just to provide basic classroom supplies and learning opportunities for their students. Meanwhile, the universal ESA voucher program is rubber-stamping millions of dollars to purchase luxury items with our taxpayer $ 😮

The fraud & abuse within AZ’s off-the-rails, $1B ESA voucher program must be stopped! Watch as Dr. Teresa Ruiz, candidate for AZ Supt of Public Instruction, commits to rigorous oversight of the program — and to stop Horne’s irresponsible practice of blindly approving any & all purchases under $2000.

AZ’s public school students learn in some of the most crowded classrooms in the US. This is a direct consequence of the Republican-led legislature’s decades-long failure to adequately fund our public schools. “Until teacher pay and staffing improve, class sizes are expected to continue rising.” 😢

🚨The U.S. House Approps Committee advanced Trump’s budget bill that makes cuts to public schools. Unlike the Senate's version, the House bill would slash $12B in school spending, including a 27% cut to Title I, which serves the nation's most vulnerable students. Read @ bit.ly/15SeptemberEdReport

💥 NEW: Supt Horne joined Sunday Square Off to justify his clawback of $600K out of $124M in fraudulent purchases as a process that is “working” for Arizona taxpayers — and to claim there is no reason to halt auto-reimbursement for any purchases under $2k. Watch: www.12news.com/article/news...

😥“The poorer the ZIP code, the less often vouchers are being used. The richer, the more.” In Arizona, vouchers were sold as a way to help low-income students, but that has always been a false narrative. In reality, tuition & fees make private schools out of reach for low-income families.
