Dear Friends,

We’ve been talking with our neighbors a lot about the issue of school vouchers. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned after hundreds of these conversations, it’s this:

Not nearly enough people understand vouchers.

School tuition vouchers (or “Empowerment Scholarship Accounts”) are a benign-sounding program to most voters, thanks in part to big spending by school profiteers. But in reality, they’re a discriminatory Christian nationalist scam on working people.

Since a huge expansion of school vouchers will be decided by voters (again) this year, here are the top points we’re finding get people fired up and on our side.

When you're done reading, make sure to find one of the petitions Save Our Schools Arizona is carrying to shut down the latest big voucher expansion. Sign it ASAP, or better yet join us in carrying some.
