Come make your voices heard and stand up for parents! We want to ensure that your legislator hears from you and why we support parental empowerment with Education Savings Accounts. The Parent Empowerment Coalition is excited to come together for parental rights with Governor Greg Abbott!
Join us on Tuesday, March 11th, to show your support for empowering parents.
Parent empowerment is built on the foundational principles of transparency, quality, respect, and choice, and we’re bringing together the community to focus on this vital need in our education system. Governor Greg Abbott has made education one of his top priorities this year, and we’re honored to have his support.
Kids are encouraged to join and come see democracy in action!
