Over the last three years, California has cut public school budgets by more than $20 billion and laid off over 40,000 educators. Underfunded public preschool programs serve only 40 percent of eligible 3 and 4 year olds. Only five percent of very low-income infants and toddlers have access to early childhood programs.

We are shortchanging our children -- and they deserve better.

It's time Californians joined together to invest in our children, because we all share in the benefits of better schools and a better-educated workforce.

Our Children, Our Future is the best solution to ensure that money intended for helping California's children goes directly to local schools. The measure will raise $10 to $11 billion annually in new revenue while reducing the cost of education bonds to help end the state deficit and protect our children and schools from further budget cuts.
