It’s not often that an event held to create change coincides with the perfect moment in history to do so. But that’s precisely where we find ourselves. Today, more Americans than ever, on both sides of the aisle and from every walk of life, are open to rethinking our education system. They have come to realize it’s bigger than politics and ultimately bigger than education itself.

It’s about restoring merit as our nation’s north star and pushing back against any ideology that seeks to undermine it. It’s about giving parents and children agency in determining which school is best for them and letting competition among schools and children drive the whole system forward.

For that to happen on a scale that matters, we need school choice for K-12 in every state across America. Every dollar we raise right now is mission critical because it will be amplified by the kind of cultural momentum that only arises once in a generation.

When you recognize what’s really at stake, and the magnitude of this moment, you understand why we’re all so passionate about the need to act now and tip the scales for access to underserved families.
