Join Us to Ensure Every Child in Our Community Can Read by 2024!

Channing ParhamOctober 15, 20250

In 2024, a staggering 7 out of 10 kids from the graduating class struggled with reading at grade level. This is a wake-up call for our education system. We must urge our members of Congress to prioritize the educational needs of our children for a brighter future. Together, we can advocate for policies that truly benefit our families and ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed. Let’s make our voices heard through @NatParentsUnion!
