We need to make media literacy a standard part of our curriculum, not an afterthought. We need to create learning environments where curiosity is celebrated, where mistakes are seen as opportunities to grow, and where every student no matter where they come from feels empowered to ask, Why not me?

the opportunity gap
The Hard Truths We Can't ignore
the opportunity gap
The quality of education shouldn't depend on your address, but too often it does. In many communities, students face overcrowded classrooms, outdates textbooks, and underpaid teachers. Meanwhile, just miles away, better-funded schools offer cutting edge technology and limitless opportunities
- Students in wealthier districts receive up to $2,000 more per year in funding than those in lower-income areas.
- 1 in 3 schools lacks the resources to provide after-school programs or mental health support.
- Teachers in underfunded schools are 40% more likely to leave professions.
This isn't just an education gap - it's an opportunity gap that follows students into adulthood. Education should open doors, not build walls.

Welcome to Why Not Me?
For too long, we've been told to wait, accept low wages, skyrocketing costs, and leaders who work for billionaires instead of us. Why Not Me? is here to change that.
The Republican Party has rigged the system for the wealthy while distracting us with fear and division. And too often, Democrats have failed to fight back. We demand a party that stands with working people, not corporations, not the ultra rich, not political insiders.
This is about power. Our power. The power to lead, to demand better, to build a future where workers come first.
Why Not Me? Why not us? Why not now?
