AEA is the most effective voice for school funding in the state.

INVESTinAZ

Our students and educators have dealt with decades of neglect and underfunding from the State, which is why we took the issue of education funding to the people for a vote. Passing the Invest in Education Act in 2020 was the culmination of years of organizing efforts. Despite the need for school funding and the support of voters, those in power are still trying to stop these funds through lawsuits and legislation. We will continue to fight because we know our students are worth the effort.

Education justice means that every student in the public education system has enough resources, has enough opportunities to focus on education.
