Be an EdActivist
Public education is under political attack. We’ve got a new way to fight back.
Our members and supporters have long been our most powerful voice in the fight to protect public schools and students.
Our new EdActivist digital organizing program helps education activists like you make an even greater impact on voters in your community.
How it works
You bring your creativity, unique skillset and passion for supporting students; we supply the training and tools you need to increase your organizing capacity and scale your impact. And we use the EdActivist app to connect and mobilize.
