Resource Equity

We support student-centered policies to grow public education funding overall, level it up for those currently disadvantaged, and increase access to effective teachers and quality resources for those students historically denied, so that all students are finally given the tools for success.

Our focus is on ensuring all parents—particularly Black and Latino parents and low-income parents—are able to access a high-quality public school that meets their child’s needs.
