Fund MI Future is a joint effort of nonpartisan community organizations, unions, advocates, and policy experts working to create shared prosperity for all.
Underfunding schools for a generation so the ultra-wealthy can pay a lower state tax rate than a teacher has real impacts for budgets.
Instead of cutting our children's future, the super rich should pay what they owe and FUND education #FundMIFuture

It’s Tax Day again. Working families did their part—but what about billionaires? When the wealthy don’t pay their fair share, we all pay the price.

Over twenty Fund MI Future supporters and allies from Michigan headed to Washington DC this week to fight back against looming Medicaid and SNAP cuts.
1 in 10 Michiganders needs SNAP, and Medicaid helps over 2.5 million Michiganders stay healthy (Source: MLPP). #FundMIFuture
It’s not just Congress—Michigan’s Senate is weighing a $713M cut to public services to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. #FundMIFuture
Tell our senators: REJECT these cuts! https://t.co/md6IzSxCLe
We should be funding our schools, not trying to cut our children's services and make it even harder for teacher's to do their jobs. We can, and should, do better. #FundMIFuture
Imagine if, instead of these billionaire-approved cuts to our schools, these folks spent more time trying to close the $4.5 billion gap needed to fund our public schools. No place that has no funding for education is going to be a good place to live in the long run. #FundMIFuture
Today in #mileg - we were given approximately 20 minutes to review a budget bill that cuts school funding in Michigan by $5.1B. To the kids in the gallery today, I am profoundly sorry you watched the House GOP vote to defund your school.
PEOPLE POWER: Last night, over eighty Michiganders in Macomb County turned out, writing postcards to Congress: FUND PUBLIC SERVICES, not billionaires!
When we fight for wealthy corporations to pay what they owe, we win better schools, roads, and infrastructure for our community!
Trump's tax plan doesn't do any the following:
❌Keep Lifesaving Medicine Affordable
❌Address Michigan's Lagging Test Scores
❌ Address Stagnant Wages for Hardworking Families
However, it does:
✅ Let's the richest 1% of individuals avoid paying what they OWE in taxes
Come take back our government from unelected billionaires, such as Elon Musk, who are trying to take over the government to avoid paying what they owe in taxes.
Over the weekend news broke that unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his cronies took over the Dept of Treasury. We are coming together to stop him from undermining democracy. Join an Emergency Mass Call TONIGHT, at 8pm ET

Michiganders across race and place work hard for our families, so why are certain wealthy individuals rigging the rules in their favor to pay lower overall tax rates than middle-class families?
Today, twenty organizations joined #FundMIFuture in asking our Michigan leaders to REJECT Trump’s billionaire tax stealing spree to cut our public services in order to line his pockets. Sign our petition: https://t.co/7Uvy9Ike6g #TaxJustice#FundOurFuture
Federal funding directly impacts Michigan's communities. It's not even just fire and police, but healthcare, special education, school lunches, transportation, clean water, and so much more. These services are essential to our state's future. That's why we must #FundMIFuture
The city of Sterling Heights said more than $13 million in federal funds, including money for police and fire services, could be impacted by the pause.
