Action Alert: The Educational Choice for Children Act

Federal School Choice Bill Introduced The Educational Choice for Children Act has genuine prospects for success

A federal school choice bill has been introduced on Capitol Hill with genuine prospects for success. The Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) is based on tax credit scholarship programs that have had success in many states. Under the bill, private or corporate donors would receive a tax credit for contributions made to a scholarship granting organization, which would then use those donated funds to give scholarships to low- and middle-income families for private school tuition. Congressional leadership is supportive of this legislation, and President Trump said he would support the bill.

What You Can Do

Please contact your two United States Senators and your member of the House of Representatives and ask that they support the ECCA and also that they sign on as co-sponsor of the bill. For your convenience, you can contact your representatives through the NJCC Voter Voice System: https://www.votervoice.net/NJCC/Campaigns/121536/Respond.
