As our public schools and colleges in Massachusetts continue to scrape by with the bare minimum, Beacon Hill lawmakers are getting ready for a school funding debate that could drastically improve how our schools and colleges are funded, or not.

But students, parents, and teachers from across the state are fighting back by making phone calls and emails to their lawmakers to ask them to co-sponsor the Fund Our Future bills!

We’ve launched the Fund Our Future campaign by filing the Promise Act (SD 101/HD 434) to fund K-12 public schools and the Cherish Act (SD 740/HD 1178) to fund public higher education.

We need your help to send the Legislature a message. Please call and email your State Rep and State Senator and ask them to co-sponsor the Fund Our Future bills.

Use this tool to make a call, and click here to send an email letter now!

After you've sent an email and made a call, take one more second to sign the Fund Our Future petition and add your name to the list of more than 15,000 people across the state who are demanding we Fund Our Future! Click here to sign the Fund Our Future petition.

We’re calling on the Legislature to make this major reinvestment in public education this spring – in time for local communities to include the funding in the next academic year’s budget and in time for public college students to avoid tuition and fee hikes this fall.

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

Call-in Script

Hi my name is [INSERT NAME] and I am calling to ask Representative/Senator [INSERT REPRESENTATIVE/SENATOR'S NAME] to co-sponsor the Fund Our Future bills to provide fair, equitable and just funding Massachusetts public schools and colleges. The Promise Act (SD 101/HD 434) and the Cherish Act (SD 740/HD 1178) will provide desperately needed funds to public education in Massachusetts.

It is critical that the House and Senate pass these important pieces of legislation. My district school/college campus [INSERT DISTRICT SCHOOL/COLLEGE CAMPUS] is in dire need of fair and equitable funding in order to build the future our community and students deserve.
