Why We’re Here
Public education isn’t perfect. But the politicians slashing funding and spreading fear aren’t trying to fix it. They’re trying to break it on purpose—undermining trust in public schools so they are easier to dismantle.
Because they don’t want good schools for every American kid and family. They prefer a two-tiered system that serves some, but leaves everyone else behind.
That’s not okay. It’s not fair. And it’s not American.
Public schools belong to everyone.
Our tax dollars fund them, and our communities rely on them. Nearly all of us walk through the doors of a public school at some point—and that shared experience should be a great one for every child, no matter who they are or where they come from.
As parents, we’ll do whatever it takes to protect our kids and their future. It’s up to us to make sure our leaders do the same.
What We Believe
We believe in a future where public schools truly belong to everyone—and every child has a fair chance to learn, grow, and succeed.
Parents want common sense, not chaos. What we want for our kids and our schools is actually pretty simple:
Our public dollars to go toward public schools—not vouchers for unaccountable private institutions.
Schools that serve every child and family—not ones that get to pick and choose.
Our kids to feel seen and supported at school—not targeted by policies or politicians because of who they are.
Leaders who are laser-focused on our kids’ safety and success—not slashing budgets, harassing teachers, and fighting over bathrooms.
Our kids to learn honest history and about the real world—not have books ripped off their shelves.
And for our kids to get a great education that prepares them to live and lead beyond the classroom walls.
