[Lekooks] Fwd: Action Needed: Voucher Expansion Vote TOMORROW!

[Kerry Duma]

Dear friends who care about public education,

Apparently, our legislature is ready to pass today a huge increase in
dollars that go to private charter schools, which already get far more than
they deserve.  In some cases private schools will get 30% more than public
schools.  Please consider watching the video(s)  below and/or calling your
state Rep or Senator today before noon.

Kerry




Tell your state legislator to vote "No" on SB 330 on Wednesday, June 14

Kerry,


I know you all are extremely busy, and I try not to blow your inboxes up
with emails if I can help it. However, there’s a *huge vote tomorrow,
Wednesday, June 14* in both houses, and our public schools need your help!


SB 330, a bill that would dramatically increase spending on our state’s
private school voucher program, was only introduced late last week, and
it’s already slated for passage. We’re just now learning how much it’s
going to cost - and how much it will ultimately take away from our public
schools.


*If you have a moment before noon on Wednesday, I urge you to contact your
state representative and/or senator and ask that they vote “No” on SB 330.*


If you need some more information, you’re in luck: I’ve set up a webpage
called “Speak Up for Public Education,”

which my team will be updating periodically as threats to (and
opportunities to support) public education arise this session.

Finally, I’ve created *another video *to show just how much voucher
spending will increase under SB 330, which you can *watch below*:

Our public schools deserve support, and our public dollars should be
reserved for schools that accessible and accountable to the public. Massive
investments in private institutions make funding our public schools that
much more difficult.


I thank you for your attention and will keep you posted as things develop.


In Service,
