All Eyes on Yass Webinar
2026-03-10 19:00 - 20:30 | Virtual, CT, United States
Billionaires across the country are funding and driving privatization of our schools – both on the state and federal levels. The expansion of universal school voucher programs is sweeping the nation, and the new Federal School Voucher Tax Credit Program will fuel vouchers in every single state. This small set of billionaires are consolidating their power together through networks of PACs, lobbying entities and more.
NEA has worked with partners at Little Sis, ACRE and the All Eyes on Yass campaign to shine a light on this covert effort to privatize our schools. The All Eyes on Yass campaign, originally based in Pennsylvania, has focused on Pennsylvania billionaire Jeff Yass – once a quiet unknown name – who has quickly become one of the largest political donors in the United States. His top priority: to abolish public schools. Worth about $66 billion, Yass has spent tens of millions of dollars in more than 20 states to supercharge voucher and school privatization legislation and oust pro-public education elected officials. He laid the groundwork for Trump’s education agenda that has dismantled the Dept of Education and passed a nationwide voucher program.
Learn more about Yass, what he’s doing in your state, and how educators and families can and have successfully fought back against billionaire attacks.
Join the All Eyes on Yass webinar on Tuesday, March 10 at 7PM ET/6PM CT/4PM PT. Because taking on billionaire-funded school privatization impacts elections, policy, organizing and communications, we encourage states to register in cross-department teams.
