The “Freedom” Foundation is targeting MFPE members like YOU. Who are they?

The so-called “Freedom Foundation” is running ads targeting YOU.  So, who are these people? The “Freedom Foundation” is a special interest think tank funded by corporations and the ultra wealthy who want to dismantle state government and public education, cut public services and jobs, and hand public services like education and worker’s compensation over to for-profit private corporations. They’ve set their sights on MFPE because we’re the biggest obstacle to their agenda.

They say they stand for freedom but what they really want is to free up corporations and the ultra wealthy to make as much money as possible and free working families from jobs with good wages, benefits, and protections.
