Resource Equity
Policy Overview
For too long, our education system has not properly funded students or provided needed resources for students facing the greatest barriers to success based on their race, gender, sexual orientation, native language, class, zip code, or disability.
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.
