Something wonderful is happening in Arizona. Save Our Schools Arizona has organized parents, educators, and others to fight the privatization of their public schools. They are fighting the Koch Brothers (Americans for Prosperity) and the DeVos family (American Federation for Children). SOS is fighting the legislature’s efforts to extend vouchers to everyone, in hopes of destroying public education.
Thousands of volunteers have joined together to fight back against the Dark Money forces. SOS collected over 100,000 signatures, enough to force a referendum in 2018. They did this with only $30,000 that they raised from locals. You can be sure that the Koch brothers and the DeVos’s will pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into efforts to fight them in the courts, and then at the ballot box.
Getting the signatures certified is step one. There is a long road ahead.
The money will pour in to the state to promote privatization. The fight is far from over.
Please go to the SOS website and give whatever you can to help the fight against Dark Money.
Round one belongs to the public, not the profiteers.

Thank you Bess Altwerger, founder of SOS.
NCTE endorsed SOS in 2011. Have no idea if this is still true.
I was at SOS’s 1st demonstration at the USDoE.
What I find reprehensible is that we Public School Teachers have to fight DARK $$$$$ and their greed. These dark forces want us to be their go-fers for their profits.
