$15 billion a year for our schools is on the line. Prop 3 asks the top 2% of earners to keep paying their fair share, just as they have for the past 14 years, to fund K-12 schools and community colleges.
✏️ Keep our schools funded and vote YES on 3.
Prop 43 takes power away from local communities by requiring a 2/3 majority to pass voter-led local funding measures, instead of a simple majority. This means a minority of voters would be able to block communities from raising funds for schools, affordable housing, public transit and other local needs.
✊Protect your power and vote NO on 43.
📣 California is investing $1 billion annually to expand access to more than 6,000 community schools across the state
Students, families, local community members and educators will have the opportunity to work together to strengthen conditions for student learning and healthy development in their public schools.
🔔 But school districts have to OPT IN for their eligible schools by November 1st.
Share this information with your school principal, superintendent, family, student and school board leaders, labor and community allies. Ask them to opt into this funding by November 1 to support your community school!
California is expanding the community schools strategy to as many as 3,700 more schools - a historic investment in the future of our students ✨ Listen to Katrina Bullock, advocate with @catalystcalifornia, speak about the power of trust, belonging, and joy in the future of our public schools.

California just made a historic investment in public education: $1 billion every year for community schools.
Community schools center community engagement, shared decisionmaking, integrated student supports, and expanded learning opportunities.
Through this approach, we can create schools that prioritize mental health supports, multilingual learning, school safety & belonging, and police-free schools. ✊
