Please join Advancement Project and Public Funds Public Schools on Thursday, May 15, at 1 p.m. ET to learn how private education vouchers contribute to the closure of neighborhood public schools, eliminating a vital community resource that welcomes and serves all children. Register here.

The webinar will be moderated by Jessica Alcantara, Senior Staff Attorney at Advancement Project, and will feature Fred Jones, Senior Director of Public Policy & Advocacy at the Southern Education Foundation; Jessica Levin, Education Law Center Litigation Director and Director of PFPS; and Laura Petty, Law Fellow and Staff Attorney at Advancement Project. 

We will talk about: 

• The racist intent behind private school voucher policies

• How private school voucher policies lead to school closures in Black and Brown communities

• How school closures harm communities

• Why policymakers should invest in public schools instead

And ICYMI, check out our new policy brief, Save Neighborhood Schools – Say No to Private School Vouchers!, which explains how private education vouchers contribute to the closure of neighborhood public schools. Feel free to use the brief in meetings with public officials and other stakeholders to let them know how private education vouchers harm working-class, rural, Black and Latine communities and why they should support fully funding neighborhood public schools instead.
