For too long Arizona politicians have cut billions from our classrooms, leading to crumbling schools, overcrowded classrooms and teachers fleeing to other states.

That is why we created Invest In Ed: to restore funding to our schools and ensure educators are treated with the respect they deserve.

The politicians who got us into this mess will do anything to keep our schools and students last. Just as politicians tried to ignore teachers during the walk out, they are trying to ignore the 270,000 voters who signed the Invest in Education petitions to demand better for our schools and our children. They may have blocked our initiative, but they cannot stop our movement.
