Across the state of Washington, our schools are facing budget shortfalls leading to cuts and closures.
It’s time to change our inequitable tax code and end the historic underfunding of our state’s public schools.
It’s time for: The People’s Big 5
The “Big 5” is a grassroots-led campaign to fully fund our schools by fixing our broken funding formulas and inequitable tax system.
