As we head into the final days before Education Freedom on Tuesday, February 10, one question keeps coming up:

Who should be in the room for this conversation?

When education policy meets resistance, the most important discussions don’t happen online — they happen in rooms like this one.

This luncheon brings together a national leader in school choice, Mississippi advocates working on the ground, and engaged citizens who care deeply about what comes next for education in our state. It’s a chance to move beyond headlines and talk honestly about strategy, lessons learned, and the path forward.

We’ll hear from Corey DeAngelis, one of the most influential voices in the national school choice movement, alongside Mississippi leaders who are navigating education policy realities every day:

• Starla Brown, State Director of Americans for Prosperity Mississippi

• Lindsey Beckham, State Chair and Legislative Chair for Moms for Liberty

• Leah Ferretti, Director of Mississippi Ready

This is the room for:

• Parents who want a meaningful voice in their children’s education

• Policymakers and advocates tracking education reform beyond a single vote

• Community and business leaders invested in Mississippi’s long-term future

• Anyone who wants to understand what comes next — and how change actually happens

Attendees will also have the opportunity for Q&A with the speakers, making this more than a lecture. It’s a chance to listen, engage, and leave better informed.
