Transforming California’s Education Systems
Throughout the Years
Our Mission & Method
At EdTrust-West, we navigate California’s educational policy landscape annually, pinpointing key opportunities to uplift students of color and those from low-income backgrounds. Based in Sacramento, we join forces with legislators, partner organizations, and community leaders, championing equity-driven bills. Our “Equity 8” selection highlights the most impactful legislative initiatives. Through dedicated advocacy, collaboration, and partnership, we aim to transform these proposals into law, fostering enduring change for our students.
