Your tax-deductible donation will help support the work of our team, including Alex at the legislature and State Board, Rupen on literacy, Derick on equity, Liz on early childhood, Hannah on postsecondary access, and Caroline throughout our rural counties — all building public support for public education in North Carolina.
