PCCC's Save Our School Boards campaign is already making big national
news!

ABC NEWS: The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) on Friday
launched the "Save Our School Boards" campaign to boost more than 200
aligned school board candidates in the upcoming cycle. The group hopes to
raise $450,000 to assist with collecting signatures to get on ballots,
budgeting, sustaining grassroots support and so on.

POLITICO: The new initiative from the PCCC is the latest national effort
to influence hyperlocal, low-turnout elections that catapulted to new
prominence during the 2022 midterms and this spring’s initial off-year
elections.

AMERICAN PROSPECT: Book bans, anti-trans policies, and critical race
theory backlash all trace their origins to a rise in the right targeting
education as a whole...The PCCC's "Save Our School Boards" campaign is
focused on how school boards can prevent this.

campaign? Donate $3 or whatever you can toward our candidate training,
resources, and support for 200 school board candidates fighting right-wing
extremism in 2024.

(If you are a teacher or parent who has felt the impact of book banning or
a right-wing school board firsthand, [ [link removed] ]please take our survey here.)

The far-right sees school board races as a way to make gains with suburban
voters and take back swing districts by driving hysteria around "Critical
Race Theory" and other issues. It is part of their war on democracy --
banning books and writing things like the civil rights movement and
Trump's insurrection out of history.

Our resources will guide first-time school board candidates through
gathering petition signatures, creating a campaign plan, budgeting,
talking with voters and the media, and building a grassroots army of
volunteers.

Candidates we help will have the opportunity to meet with expert coaches
who will help refine their plans. We’ll even be able to buy data and other
resources at scale that most individual candidates could never afford.
[ [link removed] ]To do this, we need your support today.

We’ve helped hundreds of local candidates in recent years -- including
school board wins like Missy Zombor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Katrina
Doughty in Multnomah County, Oregon.

Karl Frisch is a Fairfax, Virginia school board member who is running for
re-election in November with PCCC’s support. Frisch told The American
Prospect, "[PCCC’s] candidate training really helped flesh out what to do,
and [how] to run an effective campaign that gets my message in front of
the voters I need to win."

Now, we are taking this work deeper with a dedicated school board program.

[ [link removed] ]In local school board races -- many of which are won with budgets of
just a few thousand dollars -- our support can make the winning
difference. Will you be a founding supporter of SAVE OUR SCHOOL BOARDS?

Thanks for being a bold progressive.

-- Hannah Riddle, PCCC Director of Candidate Services
