Launch Michigan Supporter
Stop watching the crisis. Start shaping the solution.
Launch Michigan Supporters participate in a one-of-a-kind opportunity to shape education reform by adopting and promoting our platform. Through shared advocacy, Supporters influence policy development and gain exclusive access to the leaders and officials driving Michigan's educational and economic future.
The Strategic Priority: The Michigan Education Guarantee
As a Supporter, you are at the forefront of the Michigan Education Guarantee—the first systemic reform initiative in state history to be backed by a unified coalition of education, business, labor, and philanthropy.
Supporters are also involved in other key initiatives, such as Every Child READS, among others.
This unique cross-sector alignment provides the political and social capital necessary to move Michigan from a state of educational crisis to a leader in global competitiveness.

Join the fight for our future
We need to pass the right policies in Lansing to modernize our education system for all students, all over the state. And we need to work with parents, educators and local leaders all over the state to make sure those policies are based in reality and that we can implement them for every Michigan student.
