Phone Bank: Tell Kathy Hochul to say NO to the federal tax scam!

*Our New York leaders need to hear from us now. Join our phonebanking event to tell Governor Hochul and state legislators that we refuse the federal tax voucher scam. Call today to make your voice heard!* NY Governor Kathy Hochul is considering opting our state into a terribly harmful federal voucher tax scam that will take money out of our public schools to line the pockets of the ultra-rich. This federal tax scam lets wealthy families use hard-earned taxpayer dollars to send their kids to private schools. Not only does this siphon public funds away from public schools, it offers unnecessary subsidies to families who already had access to private schools. This will be detrimental to the 2.5 million students in the NYS public school system, and millions more to come in the future. This program will drain resources from public schools, sending them to the pockets of wealthy individuals with an interest in privatizing public goods. Private schools do not have to meet the same standards as public schools, and they do not have the same responsibility to serve every child. That means public money can end up flowing to schools that lack basic accountability and can turn away students who need support. That means fewer public resources for the schools our communities actually rely on, and more power for a private system that leaves too many children behind. RSVP today to join our phonebanking event and help stop this.
