ACTION ALERT: We Have Until FRIDAY at NOON to Call Our Reps to Fix School Funding

UPDATE -- June 7th at 9PM: We have 87 state reps signed on to Rep. Aaron Vega's letter demanding a vote to update the Foundation Budget and #FundOurSchools. The deadline to get people to sign on is now extended to Friday, 6/8, at 12 noon! We need to get 20 more reps signed on!


Two weeks ago, the state Senate set historic precedent by unanimously passing the Foundation Budget Modernization Bill, which would greatly improve the school funding formula and help #FundOurSchools for every child across Massachusetts. Republicans and Democrats alike came together to say that if our constitution claims we as a Commonwealth cherish public education then we must also fairly, equitably and fully fund all our public schools.

It’s time for the House to Pass An Act to Modernizing the Foundation Budget for the 21st Century! This bill has been supported by more than 120 members of the legislature through its time on Beacon Hill. Now is the moment for our State to make history and provide the students of the commonwealth with the   funding each district needs.

Can you call your representative and ask them to fully fund our public schools?

The Foundation Budget Review Commission three years ago put out its recommendation and we as a state cannot allow another class of students to graduate without the proper funding their districts so desperately need.

We need you to pick up the phone and call your representative to demand that all of our children deserve a fair and equitable investment in their futures!
