After working for a teachers union, Valeria Gurr realized that the system was broken and not working for students or teachers.
Parents are ultimately responsible for their child's education. It's time to give ALL families school choice options.
"You can save taxpayer money, but you can also allow for more families to access opportunities who wouldn't have had those opportunities before." School choice leads to integration, not segregation. Corey DeAngelis explains.
Teachers need school choice options too. Valeria Gurr discusses her time working for the teachers union and her realization that the system was broken.
When parents are deprived of education options, they can easily disengage. Fortunately, the opposite is also true. Empowering parents with school choice restores participation and engagement. Shaka Mitchell discusses.

"It takes one chance to ruin a child's education."
Can families get the school choice options they desperately need in time? Do public schools play a part in the future of education freedom? 🎒
"Over the last 30 years, funding at the state level, federal level and local levels has increased, adjusted for inflation." Increased spending does not equal an increase in children's education outcomes. Shaka Mitchell explains.

"We want to let parents know that it's their choice where they send their child and their choice to determine if that school is working for their child or not." How has school choice empowered the Black community? Hera Varmah discusses.
It's a bad time to be a lawmaker who fights against education freedom and opposes parental rights. Corey DeAngelis explains the recent school choice victories in Texas.
School choice is simple. It's all about empowering parents, who know their children best, with education options. 🎒 Hera Varmah explains.
"Valeria could be the poster child for the American dream." 🇺🇸
Valeria Gurr is using her story and experience to empower her community and fight for the school choice options they need.
As Maryland continues to pour more funding into failing district-assigned schools, students are paying the real price. Denisha Allen discusses the education solution that families desperately need.
"My siblings and I, we broke the cycle of poverty. We broke a lot of family curses because of education."
"In the past three years, we've had more advancements in school choice than the preceding three decades." Parents are demanding education freedom options and children are the ones who benefit.
