Statewide education policies significantly impact millions of students, families, and communities, influencing educational equity and justice. At EdTrust-West, both legislative and budget advocacy are central to our mission. We employ diverse strategies, from assisting community members in connecting with elected officials to collaborating with state education leaders on policies that bolster educational equity.

Our primary goal in legislative and budget advocacy is to champion equitable solutions for our state’s students of color and multilingual learners. Explore our advocacy work, follow our positions on bills, and discover how you can be part of our journey!
