Dear John,

Today is Giving Tuesday, a day when people across the country come together to support the organizations building a better future. At 50CAN, that future is rooted in a simple promise: we can create a world where every child is surrounded by educational opportunity, no matter their address.

This year, given falling student achievement and parents demanding something different from the education system, delivering on this promise has felt particularly urgent. Across our network, from Colorado to Connecticut and Tennessee to Hawaii, parents are letting us know they want stronger literacy and math programs, more tutoring, and the freedom to choose the education that works best for their kids.

Supporters like you have made our work possible and turned that momentum into real progress:
* From supporting literacy pedagogy across the country to millions of dollars for afterschool programming in Colorado and Georgia, our network’s executive directors achieved 29 policy wins last year across our Believe in Better ([link removed]) framework.
* Thousands of students gained access to high-impact tutoring through initiatives like Louisiana’s universal tutoring program, with 50CAN VP of Policy Liz Cohen taking a leading role ([link removed]) in the nationwide effort.
* Over 100 emerging leaders in the education sector were trained through our National Voices ([link removed]) communications fellowship and our parent advocacy fellowship, FIRE ([link removed]) .

But there’s still so much more to do.

As we look to the year ahead, we’re doubling down on what matters most: stronger academic results, more opportunities for students, and a system that listens to parents who are well-informed by schools, districts and elected officials.

Your Giving Tuesday gift ([link removed]) makes it possible for our state campaigns to organize families, advance smart policies and help students get the support they need.

We cannot do this work without you and I thank you for building the future with us, today and every day.

President of 50CAN
