25 years of parent power. Countless policy victories.

From the School Climate Bill of Rights to the recent restoration of funding for the Black Student Achievement Plan, CADRE parents have shown what's possible when communities organize.

As we celebrate 25 years, we're focused on the next chapter: ensuring every policy victory leads to lasting change for students and families.

Because policy change is only the beginning.
