Fund Schools - Not Prisons. In the last 40 years, prison spending has increased at 3x the rate of K-12 spending.

End corporate subsidies and tax credits for the wealthy that reduce funding for schools and increase economic inequality.

Prioritize Equity to make sure that all our students get the quality education they deserve.
