Strong Schools Action We are on a mission to engage elected officials, advocates, parents and voters in standing up for strong public schools.

We put students first, empower parents, and support educators. Together we will re-imagine what public education is in this country.

This is what it looks like when lawmakers see the future firsthand.

Dr. Ken Kemp brought Senator Adrienne White and Representative Bryce Berry to tour the Academy for Innovation in Medicine, Georgia’s first healthcare-focused STEM charter school, which opened its doors just days ago.

Thank you to Dr. Kristy Beam, Dr. Nikkita Warfield, and Eric González for opening your doors. Future healthcare heroes really do start here.

Partnered with Grady Health System, AIM blends rigorous academics with real clinical experience, so students can graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree, tuition free.

Walking the sim labs and classrooms, the conversation turned to what matters most: the school’s early wins, and the support its leaders need from legislators to keep building.

This schools is setting our students up for success in the real world. They even have uniform scrubs for Wednesday clinical.

When schools like this succeed, whole communities get healthier.

We kicked off our one year anniversary celebration 🎉 this week! For the first time since we launched, the whole team is in one room.

We’ve spent our first year building the Center for Strong Public Schools across multiple states, chasing legislative wins, endorsing champions, and deepening relationships, mostly by phone and email, moving fast in each of our states.

This week we finally came together in person. A chance to align on strategy, strengthen the relationships behind the work, and successfully build from the same playbook as we head into our next phase.

One team, one mission. And we’re just getting started.

Books don't care where you read them. 📚🌊

Back porch swing. Beach towel. Blanket fort in the living room. Hammock in the backyard. The passenger seat on a road trip. A shady spot at the pool. That corner of the couch with a little dip in it.

If your reader can sit there, they can read there. And sometimes the spot is what makes the story stick. ✨

Where's your kid's favorite reading spot this summer? Send us a photo of you reading and let's build a summer reading gallery! 📸💛

Reader's choice, always. 📖✨

Comics? Yes. Cookbooks? Yes. Magazines about horses, or dinosaurs, or how airplanes work? Absolutely. Chapter books they've already read three times? Still counts.

When kids pick their own reading, three things happen: they read more, they finish what they start, and they build a real relationship with the page. That's the game.

So this week, let them lead. Even if the choice makes you smile. 💛

The library called, and it said come hang out. 📚☀️

Free books. Story time. Cool air conditioning on the hottest days of the year. Summer reading programs, kids' events, and a librarian who genuinely wants to help your reader find their next favorite book.

If you haven't been in a while, this is your reminder. Bring the kids, get the cards, walk out with a stack of books for FREE. It's summer's best deal.

📍 Find your local library and go this week. Then come tell us what your reader picked out! ⬇️

We’re proud that our sister organization, the Center for Strong Public Schools, is among the 93 education, civil rights, and disability organizations standing in opposition to bills that would dismantle the Department of Education.

For nearly 50 years, the Department of Education has represented our nation’s commitment to educational opportunity. For more than a year, the Trump administration has worked to illegally dismantle it. These efforts are already creating confusion and disrupting support for students, families, and schools across the country.

Congress has made it clear that there is no authority for these actions. Parents, students, and educators continue to reject the efforts to politicize our nation’s classrooms at the expense of our students’ future.

We urge federal lawmakers to reject this legislation and instead focus on strengthening public education for all.

Summer's flying, but there's still plenty of runway. 📚☀️

Whether it's 20 minutes before bed or a chapter on the porch, keep the pages turning for the kids in your life this summer. The stories they read now become the imagination, curiosity, and confidence they carry back into the classroom in the fall.

No pressure. No rigid plan. Just books, in whatever moment fits your family. 💛

🚨They backed down.

Georgia House Republican leaders announced they will NOT redraw the state’s political maps during the special session. The redistricting proposal is dead — for now.

This is a victory. For activists. For organizers. For every Georgian who showed up, spoke up, and refused to let them turn back the clock.

Georgia just did what South Carolina did. People pushed back, it didn’t work, and now this changes how states across the entire country handle redistricting going forward. That is historic.

The session is not over. We are watching. But today we celebrate.
