Protect Public Schools

Public education is a cornerstone of our democracy. Our members advocate for stronger public schools to attract and retain highly qualified public education professionals, better serve our students and build our communities from local school boards and state legislatures to Washington, DC. On this page you will find ways to advocate at the national level.
