Who We Are
We’re a grassroots organization of people across Ohio who refuse to accept that our public schools should be squeezed, defunded, or dismantled.
We organize. We vote. We hold elected officials accountable.
Because here’s the truth: the people we send to the statehouse, the governor’s mansion, and the school board decide whether our kids get teh schools they deserve.
Every budget. Every funding formula. Every tax policy that starves our schools. Every decision about who gets resources and who doesn’t — that comes from someone we elected.
If we don’t show up, the people who DO show up will keep rigging the system against our kids.
Who Should Join?
You.
You don’t have to be a parent. You don’t have to be a teacher. You just have to believe that every kid in this state — no matter their zip code, their skin color, or their family’s income — deserves fully and fairly funded public schools.
Join us if you are:
A parent tired of overcrowded classrooms and disappearing art, music, and counseling.
A student who knows what your school actually needs better than any legislator.
An educator or school staff member watching your paycheck shrink while your workload doubles.
A grandparent, aunt, uncle, or neighbor who knows that public schools hold our communities together.
Anyone who’s been told that “we just can’t afford” to fully fund our kids’ schools — when we can. ‘
If you’ve ever looked at a school budget and wondered who decided your kid’s future was a line item, then this is your organization.
Join People United for Public Schools
The next election is already shaping up to be a fight over our kids’ schools. Every seat in the statehouse, every school board race, every ballot measure on taxes and funding.
