We won't give up on Michigan.
Since 2000, inflation-adjusted spending in Michigan has fallen by $663 per pupil, while the U.S. average increased by over $1,400. A recent study showed that, at current levels, our schools are underfunded by $3.7 billion a year. So, it’s no surprise that between 2003 and 2015, Michigan was the only state whose National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores declined.
But the money is there. If Michigan’s corporations and wealthy individuals paid their fair share, we could fund our schools fully and fairly. |
Join us.Black, white, urban, rural - it's time for Michiganders to demand the schools our children deserve. No more corporate giveaways and tax breaks for the wealthy while our kids pay the price!

The research is clear.
Three major studies have shown that Michigan is severely underfunding our schools and shortchanging our future.
