After attending the #RedforEd rally hosted by the MEA and AFT on June 18, I was incredibly inspired by the 2,500 educators, students and education supporters who turned out and rallied around an issue that is in dire need of attention here in Michigan: school funding.
Hearing educators speak about how much they love their students and want to provide the best for them made me reflect on the incredible support system I had when I was in school. If we want what’s best for our teachers and our children in Michigan, we have to fund our public schools and pass Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s education budget, and we must do it quickly.
