Parents Campaign pushes signature collection on school properties despite policies against

The Parents Campaign sent an email to its database advocating supporters of the MAEP ballot initiative collect signatures at football games on school properties, which is against most school districts’ political activity policies.

Here’s an exert from the email:

“Parents are ready to act, and so volunteers in many districts will be collecting petition signatures at their home football games beginning this weekend. Click here to see the list of schools that we know will have petitions available.

Here’s how you can help:

Organize a signature collection at your own football game if it isn’t already on the list (be sure to get permission from your principal and/or superintendent first). Reply to this email to request petitions and information about how signatures must be collected in order for them to count.”
