Champion the cause

You care about your community’s future and you want to make a difference. When you reach out to members of Congress on issues in education, income and health, or wear your t-shirt, you’re showing you LIVE UNITED. 

Learn about these issues, then champion the cause. Speak up. Be loud. Be public.

Harve Mogul's letter to The Miami Herald in support of funding for Miami-Dade County public schools

To the Editor:

United Way of Miami-Dade fully supports Superintendent Alberto Carvalho’s recommendations to the state legislature with regard to funding for the Miami-Dade County Public Schools. These recommendations include revising the state’s K-12 funding formula (which currently relies heavily on fluctuating local property taxes) to increase long term stability.  In these difficult economic times, our children’s education is the most powerful investment we can make in our economic health and global competiveness.  We recognize that a strong public school system is the backbone of our community and our future depends upon it.
