Hi John,
Today, Gov. Abbott announced a deal was being made with Speaker Phelan regarding school vouchers. The contentiously debated program would divert tax dollars from our chronically underfunded neighborhood public schools to partially subsidize education at unregulated private and religious schools.
We're going to keep fighting voucher scams with everything we have. Can we count on you to do the same by joining our Public Schools Rapid Response Team [[link removed]] ?

Neighborhood public schools are the heart of every community. They accept all students, regardless of who they are or their background. But voucher schemes divert public tax dollars to private and religious schools that can deny admission or educational services to any student, including students with disabilities, students from different religious faiths, or students or parents who are LGBTQIA+. Legislators must not allow private schools to discriminate while taking our tax dollars.
With one week left in this Special Session, the governor and his extremist allies will try to move very quickly — let's make sure we give 'em hell instead. It's go time, John. Let's protect our public schools!
In the fight,
