Enough is Enough!
On Friday, more than 600 delegates to MEA’s Spring Representative Assembly marched to the Capitol steps to make their voices heard.
They called for lawmakers in Lansing to stop treating school employees like political punching bags. They advocated for real, balanced solutions to Michigan’s decade-long budget crisis – not more games and gimmicks that balance the budget on the backs of students and school employees. They demanded adequate, equitable, stable funding for public education.
More than 100,000 postcards from back home were delivered to lawmakers and Gov. Granholm echoing those messages. And a TV ad was launched that drove the message home while sharing the sacrifices school employees are making for our students and our state.
Most of all, the gathered school employees said in one clear voice, “Enough is Enough!”
