JOHN,

Last week, kids headed back to school after the holiday break. For many, that return means a new semester, new teachers, and a fresh start.

This time should mean settling into routines, building trust with teachers, and helping kids feel supported. But lately, too many families and educators are returning to classrooms filled with tension that has nothing to do with learning.

We see it when teachers hesitate rather than teach.

We see it when libraries are treated like battlegrounds.

And we see it when students — especially those who need extra support — lose stability.

So we’re meeting this moment with a 48-state strategy to make schools for our communities — not extremists.

We’re organizing parents and educators, supporting pro-public-education candidates, and showing up early in the local races that shape what happens in our schools. Chip in today to fuel our 48-state strategy.
