This summer the Massachusetts
Democratic State Committee resoundingly supported a resolution to oppose
Question 2 on the ballot. NO on 2 endorsers include Sen. Elizabeth Warren,
Attorney General Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, 196 school committees,
the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, the NAACP, the Massachusetts Teachers Association,
the American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts and hundreds of elected
leaders, civil rights, community and faith-based organizations.
Will you stand with them for No On
2? Click HERE
to pledge to vote NO on 2.
As Mayor Marty Walsh said in a
recent Boston Globe column: "This ballot question is
not a referendum on charter schools. It is a deeply misguided proposal that is
fundamentally hostile to the progress of school improvement, the financial
health of municipalities, and the principle of local control. I urge everyone to
join me on Nov. 8 in voting ‘no’ on Question 2. Then we can get to work —
together — to improve all our schools."
