Building Parent Power to Transform Philly Schools

We are families fighting for the public education our children need. Together, we’re building the power needed to transform Philly’s public schools.

What we’re building…

An organizing home for parents and caregivers committed to shifting power back to our communities and winning systemic change in our schools.

Member-led chapters that prioritize the leadership of parents who are closest to education injustice.

Bridges that unite parents across race and class around a shared vision for the future of Philly schools.

Together, we’re building a home for parents to take collective action that transforms our schools and our city.

A diverse group of people wearing purple shirts joyfully celebrates outside the School District of Philadelphia building, raising arms in excitement and holding signs.
