Today we’re excited to welcome the Michigan Education Justice Coalition (MEJC) for an urgent discussion on the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education and what it could mean for Michigan students—particularly those with disabilities and from low-income backgrounds.

➔︎What’s at Stake?

We’ll assess how these proposed changes could impact public education, student rights, and educational equity across the state.

How Does This Connect to Voting and Legislative Advocacy?

Policies that criminalize students, restrict access to education, and fail to address systemic inequities are shaped by lawmakers. The fight to end the school-to-prison pipeline requires:

• Advocating for policies that prioritize education over incarceration
• Investing in equitable schooling and implementing restorative practices
• Removing barriers that prevent impacted communities from voting and full civic participation

This is an open community space where your voice matters! Join us as we work together to protect voting rights, defend educational equity, and build a just future for all Michiganders.

We look forward to seeing you there—let’s keep building power together!
