What's with 'School Vouchers'?

We depend on Texas Impact to help us understand issues and advocate for justice according to our faith values. Texas Impact is Texas’ original interfaith policy network and our organization, North Texas United Women in Faith, is a member. They explain the voucher issue so you can easily understand why so many faith communities oppose giving public money to private schools.

Ready to take action? Click to sign & personalize a letter with your support for public schools. Texas Impact will hand deliver your letter to your Texas legislator. Share with your friends and family.
