Our democratic system suffers without the input of families like yours. This is why we’re doing the #GetEducated Week of Action to encourage families—including yours—to harness our opportunity to make change in our communities. This happens when we #VoteLocal.
Education Post’s Lisa Hollenbach is hosting panel discussions on our Facebook Live with educators and activists to break down the ways our system of government works—and how we can use it to get the resources our communities need.
On Monday, Lisa had on brightbeam activist Khulia Pringle and her colleagues from National Parents Union, Wendy Gonzalez-Neal and Maritza Guridy, to discuss the issues that matter most to families and communities and why they plan to #VoteLocal in this year’s election.
