One of the provisions of the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” was creation of the Education Freedom Tax Credit. Governors can opt out of this tax credit, which is in effect a national school voucher program in disguise designed to siphon money away from public schools. Governor Whitmer hasn’t decided yet whether Michigan will participate.

AAUWMI is a longtime member of the Council about Parochiaid (CaP), which sent a letter to the governor in March outlining why she should reject the program. The State Board of Education, the Michigan League for Public Policy, and a coalition of public education organizations including teacher unions and school administrators led by the K-12 Alliance of Michigan, have all expressed opposition to participating in the program. Read a recent opinion piece from a representative of one of the coalition partners: https://bridgemi.com/guest-commentary/opinion-facts-point-to-need-for-federal-voucher-opt-out/

You can tell Governor Whitmer to opt out of the Education Freedom Tax Credit and reaffirm her support for public schools by texting 50409 with the message "Sign PHXRHI” to add your electronic signature to AAUW of Michigan's Resistbot petition to the Governor. Alternatively, you can sign here: https://resist.bot/petitions/PHXRHI

It's Women's Equality Day! While we may think, "You've come a long way, baby," we all know there is much more work to be done to keep our hard earned rights and expand those rights in the Constitutional. When women Generals can be fired or stopped from career advancement because of their gender, we know it's past time to enshrine gender rights in our laws. Otherwise, individuals, administrations, lawmakers, and executives can continue to dismantle our healthcare rights (think Dobbs), remove protections against sexual harrassment (Title IX changes), and expose pay equity disparities (removing EEO pay reporting).

AAUW of Michigan and a diverse coalition of organizations that don’t always agree on issues all urge you to vote NO on Proposal 1 on the November ballot. The coalition includes business groups, local chambers of commerce, educational organizations, labor unions, and advocacy groups. See the list here: https://www.protectmiconstitution.com/about-us

A constitutional convention that could result in a complete rewriting of the Michigan constitution is not in the best interest of Michiganders. A "con-con" could cost $80 million; take years to complete, causing economic uncertainty in the meantime; reverse recent voter approved changes to the constitution including independent redistricting, expanded voting access, and reproductive rights; redirect taxpayer dollars to private schools; and potentially eliminate the Michigan Civil Rights Commission currently enshrined in the constitution.
