Speak Up for Students Our Voice is Our Power

We’ll advocate for fully-funded public schools. We’ll dismantle unjust systems. We’ll give our students the opportunities they need to succeed. Help us make it happen.

We must unite and stand up for our students, many of whom cannot yet vote themselves. We are their voice, and we need to make it loud and clear: Vice President Harris is the choice for their future and ours.
