💐We're honored to receive EdTrust-Tennessee's inaugural Rooted & Rising award, recognizing our coalition's impact in advancing school funding equity in Virginia.

Since 2019, our advocacy has helped lead to a $724 million (560%) increase in annual state funding for low-income students, and significant increases for English language learners and students with disabilities. That's thanks to all of you who contact your legislators, come to the capitol, engage your friends and neighbors, and keep public attention on our students' needs.

Together, let's keep fighting to fully and fairly fund Virginia's public schools.
