Arizona families keep winning on school choice and more states need to follow our lead

Arizona families keep winning on school choice, defeating teachers union that tried to stop law even after it was signed. Here’s how to be victorious.
Christine Accurso is an Arizona ESA mom and citizen advocate.
This group began their efforts by setting up tables around the state to attract individuals to sign their petitions. On Saturday, July 9, I first encountered a couple working for SOS. They misrepresented the petition by saying untrue things about ESAs, upsetting me. I would have been fine if they were gaining signatures from Arizona voters on the proper merits of the policies, but I was not going to stand for lies — especially since my family greatly benefited from this program over the past decade. In a respectful way, I verbally countered two of their volunteers for over an hour on their misrepresentation, and that is when I decided I wasn’t going to stand by and watch this happen to our state and to our families.
