We believe access to quality education should be a constitutional right and it’s the responsibility of the legislature to create an appropriate budget to support the will of the people. #ARPx#Arkansas#ForARKids
Huge shoutout to Barry Jefferson, President of ForARKids and the NAACP of Arkansas for driving all the way from Southwest Arkansas with 2 hours notice to testify against HR1006, which opposes the Educational Rights Amendment. THIS is why we will succeed, because we are committed to AR kids. #ForARKids#ARPx#ARLeg
Tax cuts for the wealthy are first on the agenda for the first day of the Special Session
The tax rate for the state's wealthiest has been cut in half since 2022 causing the state to lose over $1.8 billion in revenue.
That's $1.8 billion that won't go into early childhood
Taxpayer money spent on education is an investment in the future – and #AREducationalRightsAmendment guarantees #Arkansas taxpayers get value for their money.
Sign the petition & join the movement #ForARKids!

Our opposition knows what we know, that if the Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment gets on the ballot this November, it will pass with overwhelming support. That's why they'll stop at nothing to see it fail.
This is an all volunteer movement and we will not be deterred. We have nearly 1,000 volunteers in every corner of this state who aren't bought and paid for by big money.
Imagine what $700 million could do for our education system.
Every child deserves a quality education, it’s time we start investing in AR kids.
#arpx#arkansas#ForArKids
We already have opposition to our campaign, and time is running out! Can you donate to ForARKids to help us get the Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment of 2024 on the November ballot? Visit forarkids.org/donate. Let's secure a brighter future for AR kids!
