Fund MI Future

If households making over $1 million a year in Michigan paid what they owe in taxes, we could raise over $2 billion for education.

We’re dreaming of a better future for Michigan. One where: 1. Our schools are FAIRLY FUNDED. 2. Wealthy donors CAN’T BUY our elections.
3. Our jobs give us GUARANTEED paid sick days. Can you see it? We sure can! There will be food, info about the campaign and how you can get involved, and LOTS of meeting and greeting with other local Michiganders like you, who dare to dream of a better future! We can’t wait to see you there! RSVP link in the comments!

Underfunding schools has real impacts.

And, they're underfunded because a handful of ultra-wealthy individuals have avoided paying what they owe in taxes. In fact, teachers in Bay City pay almost DOUBLE the state effective tax rate of the wealthiest households (9.7% versus 5.7%), shortchanging Michigan schools $4 billion.

Instead of cutting the things we need for our children's future, let's make the ultra-wealthy pay what they owe and FUND our children's education properly.

It’s Tax Day again. Working families did their part—but what about billionaires? When the wealthy don’t pay their fair share, we all pay the price.

Over twenty Fund MI Future supporters and allies from Michigan headed to Washington DC this week to fight back against looming Medicaid and SNAP cuts.

It’s not just Congress—Michigan’s Senate is weighing a $713M cut to public services to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. 🚨

PEOPLE POWER MOMENT: Last night, over eighty Michiganders in Macomb County packed Dovetail Coffee, writing postcards to Congress: FUND PUBLIC SERVICES, not billionaires like Elon Musk!

When we fight for wealthy corporations to pay what they owe, we win better schools, roads, and infrastructure for our communities!

We're meeting in Macomb County for a tax town hall because Trump's tax plan doesn't do any the following:

❌ Keep Lifesaving Medicine Affordable
❌ Address Michigan's Lagging Test Scores
❌ Address Stagnant Wages for Hardworking Families

However, it does:

✅ Let's the richest 1% of individuals avoid paying what they OWE in taxes

We can do better. Join us and help us defeat the tax scam: https://actionnetwork.org/events/trump-tax-steal-town-hall/

Come take back our government from unelected billionaires, such as Elon Musk, who are trying to take over the government to avoid paying what they owe in taxes.

Michiganders across race and place work hard for our families, so why are certain wealthy individuals rigging the rules in their favor to pay lower overall tax rates than middle-class families?
