Today we share a tremendous honor: Bellwether has highlighted FaithActs for Education as one of five “Building Parent Power” organizations in its recent national report.
We are proud to be selected alongside GO Public Schools, Innovate Public Schools, Kids First Chicago, and Parents Amplifying Voices in Education (PAVE). And we are excited to serve as a case study in parent-led advocacy and work. Through this report, organizations nationwide will learn from how we have organized, cultivated, and grown parent power.
As one parent leader shared in the report, “FaithActs has energized me to move forward. I was always upset with the disparity in education. I thought it was unfair that there were certain services that were not provided. FaithActs has opened up a wealth of
information and has given me the tools so that I can get the information, ask difficult questions, and work towards a solution.”
Since our inception in 2015, we’ve existed to amplify our people’s voices. We build power through community organizing and civic engagement. And we never move without our people.
