believes that every child deserves a quality education, regardless of where they live or their socioeconomic background.

1. Equal Funding for All Schools

2. Address Implicit Bias in Curriculum and Testing

1. Equal Funding for All Schools

Funding should not be determined by a community’s property taxes or zip code, which unfairly disadvantages low-income neighborhoods. We support policies that allocate funding equitably, ensuring every school has the resources it needs for smaller class sizes, advanced curricula, and well-trained teachers, regardless of location.

2. Address Implicit Bias in Curriculum and Testing

Education must reflect and respect all backgrounds and perspectives. We advocate for revising curricula to include diverse voices, histories, and achievements, as well as for reforming standardized testing practices that have historically reflected cultural biases. Every student deserves an environment where their identity and background are valued.

3. Increase Teacher Support and Pay

5. Commit to Mental Health and Counseling Services

2. Address Implicit Bias in Curriculum and Testing

Teachers are at the heart of our education system, yet they are often underpaid and overburdened. We believe in raising teacher salaries, offering professional development opportunities, and providing the resources they need to support students. Investing in teachers is an investment in the future of our children.

4. Expand Access to Early Childhood Education

5. Commit to Mental Health and Counseling Services

Early education is crucial to lifelong success. We support universal access to high-quality pre-kindergarten programs to ensure every child has the developmental and social foundation they need from the very start. Early investment in education creates better outcomes in adulthood, benefitting society as a whole.

5. Commit to Mental Health and Counseling Services

Learning is closely tied to emotional and mental well-being. We support expanding access to school counselors, mental health professionals, and social workers in schools, especially in underserved communities. No child should face their challenges alone, and every student deserves a safe, supportive environment.

Students with disabilities deserve full access to an equitable education. We advocate for stronger funding and resources for special education programs, including individualized support, assistive technology, and trained specialists. A truly inclusive school system meets the needs of all students, empowering them to reach their full potential.

Preparing students for the future means providing skills for both college and career paths. We support expanding STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs, as well as vocational and technical training, to prepare students for a wide range of career opportunities, from trades to tech.

8. Affordable Higher Education and Debt Relief

Higher education should not mean lifelong debt. We support initiatives to make college more affordable, including expanded financial aid, free community college programs, and student loan debt relief. Every student should be able to pursue higher education without a financial burden that limits their future.

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.
