Education
A quality education is a moral imperative.
The Work
We organize and build relationships with students, parents, and caregivers who are most impacted by inadequate and unfair school funding. We join in alliance with other groups, stakeholders, and community members to engage with elected and appointed officials so equitable funding, a safe environment, and necessary resources are delivered to local school districts for our public-school children.
Our Statewide Education Justice Team is made up of representatives from Philly, Montgomery County, Lancaster, Bucks County, Chester County, and the Lehigh Valley.
Each team creates strategies and actions as we seek to achieve:
- Elimination of all racial disparity in the funding of school districts in Pennsylvania.
- Adequacy of funding for all school districts.
- Excellence in educational opportunity for all PA children.

I just joined #FullAndFairFundingFridays with @powerinterfaith! Our recent education town hall showed how underfunded schools are hurting our kids—and how we can win justice.

“The segregation in our schools and lack of resources for children of color in our state continue to prevent the equal education promised by Brown vs. Board of Education sixty-seven years ago. We need to do better than this!”

Beth Logue
“I worked with curious, eager children as a volunteer in a Philadelphia public school kindergarten. They had a deep desire to learn but conditions were tragically far from what they needed to succeed. Full, fair funding would go a long way to help them.”

Betsy Connor
“Our children matter! They are entitled to a quality education, which will open the door to unlimited possibilities for them.”

Rev. Eric Goode
“We are the village it takes to raise children. We are all responsible. Our hopes for a better tomorrow are linked with them.”

Nick Sanders
“It feels very core for me both as a parent and grandparent and as a reflection of my background in early childhood education and the moral values of my faith.”

Andrea Moselle
“I continue to show up in support of equity in resources for our state’s children because some are my grandchildren, some are children and grandchildren of students I taught in my career in Philadelphia public schools, and some live on my block right now. Their world is my world.”
