Understand the consequences of underfunded K-12 students

About Us

All of Us Are Current or Past Students

We are Washington residents, neighbors, parents, and community leaders inspired to change our communities, and Washington.

We are ordinary civilians, striving to elevate awareness and inspire dialog among our communities.

We are grassroots volunteers, with a vested interest in our state’s education.

We found a voice in education advocacy through involvement in our schools — a local  group, WA State PTA unit, school district foundation, school board, or advisory board.

 

We Are Not . . . .

. . . . a formal organization, nor a coalition, a non-profit or a for-profit.

No fundraising is being undertaken; we are each paying expenses out-of-pocket.

Please invest your capital — whether financial, political, or goodwill—where you think it makes a difference.

Thanks to the generations before us, we have the luxury to choose among hard-earned luxuries bequeathed to us—we must not waste this incomparable privilege.

We owe it to the next generation not because they deserve it more, but because they too should be gifted the example to inherit no less.
