NPE/NPE Action’s 2025 national conference - Public Schools: Where All Students Are Welcome. 

Advocacy Under Fire: Stand Up, Fight Back

This panel will identify the unique challenges of advocating for public education in a politically hostile environment and learn effective advocacy strategies to combat anti-public education policies and rhetoric. They will also explore ways to collaborate with like-minded stakeholders, organizations, and community members to strengthen advocacy efforts and gain insight into navigating legislative processes and holding policymakers accountable, even in unsupportive administrations.
