Protect Education Ballot Initiative

Arizona’s ESA voucher program spends $1 BILLION in YOUR taxpayer dollars per year — no accountability or transparency. This November, it's time we change that.

BIGGER Republicans oh-for-2 on ballot referrals targeting teachers union (struck down Tuesday) & initiative to curb vouchers (tossed today).

[Arizona House Democrats @AZHouseDems]

A trial court strikes down the Republican Trojan Horse attempt to kill the Protect Education Act citizen initiative to rein in ESA waste, fraud and abuse. HCR2048 hid its poison pill behind “protection” for military families.

[Rep. Oscar De Los Santos @RepODLS]

BREAKING: Trial court kicks off HCR 2048 from the ballot. The Republican-led HCR 2048 used military families as a political pawn in order to kill the Protect Education Act (ESA voucher reform). Republicans could appeal.

[NGutierrez @repngutierrez]

Another unconstitutional ballot measure from your AZ Republican Legislators. Using military families as a cover to strip votes from Arizonans is pretty damn low.

🍎🏫AZ mom & PTA President Tiffany works tirelessly to connect parents, students, & educators for the betterment of our schools & communities. See why she’s voting YES on the Protect Education Act (Prop 212) — and why you should too!

Is AZ House Speaker @SteveMontenegro pushing for reform for the ESA program because his sister works for AFC (American Federation for Children) which is/was pushing for reforms via ballot measure?

Many states have followed AZ's school voucher model. Now, all eyes are on us as we take the next steps to lead the way on school voucher reforms: https://t.co/3DGp9saaWp

Public school supporters submit more than 420,000 voter signatures from voters who want to rein in aspects of Arizona's universal school voucher program. Organizers needed at least 256,000 signatures; reviews by election officials will determine if they met the goal

[Arizona Education Association 🍎🏫 @ArizonaEA]

This November, hard-working Arizona voters will remember how Republican politicians fought to keep voucher dollars flowing to the state’s richest families and paying for diamond rings and lingerie.

Too bad the result is across-the-board education cuts for FY2027:

This is why we need the Protect Education ballot initiative to get on the ballot and pass in November to curb this wasteful spending.

AZ taxpayers spent $57,732 on Millennium Falcon Lego sets for 68 ESA households. $849 each. Hitting "add to cart" on a big splurge must be easier when you are spending money that comes with no strings attached. 🤷‍♀️👇

[The AZ - abc15 - Data Guru @Garrett_Archer]

Sixty-eight separate Lego Millennium Falcon transactions.

"In 2024, three Phoenix women were charged with defrauding the program out of more than $80,000. That same year, two people living out of state obtained more than $110,000 after applying for children that didn’t exist." https://t.co/PMgO9fHCYE

In 2006, Big Tobacco ran a copycat initiative to confuse voters. 

It didn't work. 

Now a DeVos-linked group is trying it with school vouchers.
