• Keep the Promise: Fully Fund IDEA

  Disability rights are civil rights. Students with disabilities should not have to wait another generation for Congress to fulfill a promise that was made decades ago. Fully funding IDEA would improve outcomes for students with disabilities, strengthen public schools for all students, and honor the federal commitment made to millions of children and families.

  Tell Congress: stop the censorship & defend the public servants who protect our 433+ national parks

  America 433+  is a national public education campaign and civic call to action responding to the growing attack, erasure, and distortion of our shared American story. Our national parks are more than landscapes. They are places where people learn who we are, where we have been, and what we owe future generations. At the core of the mission of our nation’s 433 parks (and growing)  is the preservation of the histories, cultures, knowledge, and natural resources that belong to all of us. Tell Congress: stop the censorship in our 433+ national parks and defend the public servants who protect them.  The National Park Service was created by law in 1916 with a mission to steward and protect our nation's scenery, wildlife, natural resources, and historic treasures while ensuring they remain unimpaired for future generations. That mission remains as urgent today as ever. Across the country, we are witnessing efforts to remove, suppress, alter, or diminish access to public history, scientific knowledge, Indigenous perspectives, and cultural interpretation. At the same time, chronic understaffing, resource shortages, and attacks on public institutions threaten the ability of our parks to fulfill their public mission. America 433+ believes that public lands and institutions should tell the fullest story of this country. Protecting our parks means protecting public memory, scientific integrity, democratic access to knowledge, and the fullness of the American experience.

  Keep ICE out of Franklin Park School District 84

  We are proud parents of students enrolled in schools within Franklin Park School District 84. We are proud of the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity that makes up our school community and the village of Franklin Park. On August 15th, Governor Pritzker signed the Safe Schools for All bill (HB 3247) into law. Creating a SAFE ZONE policy is one way to make sure our community is in compliance.  Built upon legal protections that are already in place, including FERPA and the U.S. Constitution, SAFE ZONE policies have been passed in school districts from Colorado to Kentucky because they provide clear limits on when and how ICE enters the school and how school staff will support families.  Sign this petition to urge leaders to pass a SAFE ZONE Policy to keep our students and community safe. We welcome signatures from residents from Franklin Park and throughout Illinois.  ______ Somos padres orgullosos de estudiantes matriculados en las escuelas del Distrito Escolar 84 de Franklin Park. Estamos orgullosos de la diversidad racial, étnica y cultural que conforma nuestra comunidad escolar y la localidad de Franklin Park. El 15 de agosto, el gobernador Pritzker firmó la ley de Escuelas Seguras para Todos (HB 3247). Crear una política de ZONA SEGURA es una forma de asegurar que nuestra comunidad cumpla con esa ley. Basadas en las protecciones legales ya existentes, como la FERPA y la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, las políticas de ZONA SEGURA se han aprobado en distritos escolares desde Colorado hasta Kentucky porque establecen límites claros sobre cuándo y cómo la migra (ICE) entra a la escuela y cómo el personal escolar apoyará a las familias. Firme esta petición para exijir que los líderes aprueban una política de ZONA SEGURA para mantener seguros a nuestros estudiantes y a nuestra comunidad. Agradecemos las firmas de los residentes de Franklin Park y de todo Illinois. ______________ Jesteśmy dumnymi rodzicami uczniów zapisanych do szkół w Okręgu Szkolnym Franklin Park 84. Jesteśmy dumni z rasowej, etnicznej i kulturowej różnorodności, która tworzy naszą społeczność szkolną oraz całe miasteczko Franklin Park. 15 sierpnia gubernator Pritzker podpisał ustawę Safe Schools for All (HB 3247). Stworzenie polityki strefy bezpieczeństwa (SAFE ZONE )jest jednym ze sposobów zapewnienia, że nasza społeczność będzie z nią zgodna. Oparta na obowiązujących już zabezpieczeniach prawnych, w tym FERPA oraz Konstytucji USA, polityka strefy bezpieczeństwa ( SAFE ZONE )została przyjęta w okręgach szkolnych od Kolorado po Kentucky, ponieważ jasno określa, kiedy i w jaki sposób policja imigracyjne może wejść do szkoły oraz w jaki sposób pracownicy szkoły będą wspierać rodziny. Podpisz tę petycję, aby wezwać naszych liderów do przyjęcia polityki bezpieczeństwa  (SAFE ZONE)  i zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa naszym uczniom oraz całej społeczności. Przyjmujemy podpisy zarówno od mieszkańców Franklin Park, jak i z całego Illinois.

  Stop the Federal Cuts to Public Education!

  Congress is considering a proposal that includes over $7.3 billion in cuts to K-12 public schools, gutting programs for English Language Learners, afterschool programs, career & technical education, and teacher training—which then reduces programs for all students. These are cuts our students cannot afford. We call on our federal legislators to take immediate and proactive steps to safeguard the rights, safety, and educational opportunities of all students, by supporting legislation that affirms and funds access to high-quality public education for every child in every state. Sign this petition to make it clear that we are the majority and we demand a fully funded and equitable public school system.  Congress can stand up for the majority of kids who attend public schools, and reject these cuts. Tell our members of Congress: DEFEND and INCREASE funding for public schools, don’t dismantle it through constant cuts and chaos. Add your name now and tell Congress: Stop the Federal Cuts to Public Education!

  Urge the DPS Board to Demand Legislative Action Toward Fully & Fairly Funded Public Schools

  For decades, TABOR (the so-called Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) has restricted what the state can spend for schools. Now, federal funding and revenue changes pose additional threats to adequate, sustainable, and equitable school funding. If you agree that public education is the most important investment we can make in the future of our students, families, communities, economy, and democracy, then it's time to take action. Let's make sure the Colorado legislature takes concrete steps in 2026 to protect and promote public education. Join your fellow public school supporters as we call on our legislators to create and fund Colorado's Blueprint for Student Success — a multi-year plan to secure a vibrant public education system for decades to come. Sign this petition today to encourage the Denver Public Schools Board of Education to pass a resolution in support of fully, fairly funded public education and the Blueprint for Student Success. Together, we can Get It Done!

  Demand Public Hearings in Conway!

  This is taxation without representation. The superintendent and board are attempting to take a critical step for the district without consulting and informing stakeholders.

  Public School Strong: Defend Against the Trump Administration’s Attacks

  Public education is under attack. From attempts to defund public schools through voucher scams, to efforts aimed at censoring educators and whitewashing history, the Trump Administration and its allies are threatening the future of education as we know it. This past week, the media began reporting that the administration has even begun efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. We can’t stay silent. That’s why we’re launching a national petition to amplify voices calling for strong, fully funded, and equitable public schools. Sign this petition and send a letter to your Congressional representatives urging them to take immediate action to protect our public schools.
