We have an opportunity to protect Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESAs), which have empowered the parents of over 102,000 children in Arizona. The Arizona Christian Education Coalition, along with other school choice advocates, have been working with lawmakers on an agreement that would protect Arizona families by ensuring the anti-ESA ballot measure that has been circulating throughout the state since March (paid for by money from out of state) will not be placed on the ballot!
We are faced with a well-funded campaign by out-of-state education unions who have already poured over $4 million into Arizona to chisel away your ability to exercise that right and to specifically target private Christian schools such as ours.
Your lawmakers need to hear from you. Please email them as soon as possible and tell them that you support a special session to save ESAs. It is that simple.
You can find your legislators’ information at this link (https://www.azleg.gov/findmylegislator/).
Legislative leadership has stood shoulder to shoulder with us as we have fought to make Arizona the nation’s leader for school choice and parent empowerment. They deserve credit for this courageous effort. After you have emailed your lawmakers, please also send an email to the President of the Senate, Warren Petersen (wpetersen@azleg.gov), and the Speaker of the House, Steve Montenegro (smontenegro@azleg.gov), to thank them for taking this bold action to save ESAs.
Finally, please forward this message to your friends who care about protecting ESAs.
