All children deserve an equal opportunity for success.

Support our fight for a better education for our children.

  • Policy That Works

    It's critical that we pass smart, research-backed education policy in Springfield that will help our most vulnerable kids.

    We must use our collective energy and voice to focus on priorities like: fair and equitable funding, great leaders and teachers, and ensuring that our schools have the supports they need to succeed.
