John,

Our schools are a reflection of our shared community values, and yet, most school board elections are decided by just 5% to 10% of eligible voters. It’s clear that school boards have an immense impact on the policies that affect our students and communities — which is why we need you in this fight right now.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that the School Board Integrity Project (SBIP) has partnered with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation to share the School Boards Matter Guide. A powerful resource with concrete steps you can take today to advocate for policies and school board leadership that ensure every student, regardless of their gender identity or background, can thrive in an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment as their authentic selves.

Here’s how you can make a difference right now:

• Engage with your local school board: Reach out to board members and voice your support for policies that foster inclusivity, respect, and equality for every student.
  
  

• Get involved in upcoming school board races: School board members hold immense power over the policies that shape the lives of students, so your involvement matters more than ever.
  
  

• Support candidates who share our values: Help elect leaders who prioritize the needs of all students, not just the loudest voices in the room.

We’re also excited to share that this is just the beginning. Be on the lookout for more tools and engagement opportunities from SBIP and HRC in the coming months.

Let’s make sure every student has the opportunity to thrive, feel safe, and be heard. Together, we can build school boards across the country that reflect our shared values of integrity, respect, and equality.

Thank you for being part of this movement!

Founder & Executive Director
School Board Integrity Project

Nearly 1 in 5 elected officials in the U.S. serves on a school board.

Founded in 2023, the School Board Integrity Project (SBIP) recruits, trains, and elects school board members who will practice good governance, pursue academic freedom and excellence, and foster schools where every kid belongs — because the future we choose for our schools is the future we choose for our country.

Now active in 38 states, we’re building a nationwide network of leaders and working to reach all 50 — but we can’t do it without you. Please consider giving a donation of $5 or more today.
