Minnesota Families for Public Schools

Billionaires and the politicians who enable them have been stealing our public tax dollars away from our kids for decades. To distract us, try to sow doubt about the effectiveness of our public schools or manufacture panic rooted in racism and bigotry – from banning pride flags to railing against any social studies curriculum that tells the truth of our history. Their goal: divide us against each other to tank public education, line their pockets, and undermine our democracy. 

Our families are paying the price – particularly low-income families and families of color. Year after year, schools are cutting dozens of staff who work hard to deliver a quality education. We’re forced to say goodbye to our kids’ favorite teachers, school counselors, and family liaisons who provide critical support to our families. Minnesota has fallen to 26th in the nation for per-student funding. Our goal is to be first.

In Minnesota, public education is a fundamental right, and we're organizing to deliver on that promise. We organize families within our school districts and act collectively at the State Capitol, choosing campaigns that build our teams, skills, and power. We organize elected leaders to be Public School Champions, partner with them, and hold them accountable to our vision.
