Because every child deserves an education that unlocks their full potential.



DFER champions innovative policies that expand opportunities, tackle inequities, and reimagines how education can prepare young people to thrive in a rapidly changing world. We work to ensure Democrats lead with vision, courage, and urgency in rebuilding and redesigning systems of learning.
We lobby and lead campaigns to pass federal and state legislation that will advance our policy goals of increasing accountability and public school choice, improving resource equity, teacher preparedness, and making higher education more affordable for everyone.
