📣Take Action Tuesday!📣

Decisions made in Lansing have a direct impact on our local schools. Right now, two major issues are on the table: Michigan's School Aid Budget and whether Gov. Whitmer will opt-in to the federal voucher program.

Here’s what you can do to take action and ensure your voice is heard:

🚨 Tell the Michigan Legislature to approve the School Aid Budget by the July 1st deadline. Send this action letter: https://tinyurl.com/PassSchoolBudget

🚨Urge Governor Whitmer to Opt-Out of the federal voucher scheme.
a. Learn why here: https://tinyurl.com/OptOutVoucher
b. Message Gov. Whitmer: https://somgovweb.state.mi.us/ContactGovernor
with a simple message: Michigan has rejected using public funds for private schools, Opt-Out of the federal voucher scheme.

🟠 Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and we wear orange in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and every life lost to gun violence.

Hadiya was just 15 years old — a vibrant young woman who was tragically taken from us just one week after attending President Obama's inauguration. Her story is a reminder of how quickly and senselessly gun violence can rob us of the people we love. 🧡

Orange was chosen because it's the color hunters wear to signal their value for human life. Wear orange to show — that every life matters, that our children deserve to be safe, and that gun violence must end.

Every child deserves to be safe. 🧡🧡🧡
