Mission

is to build and maintain a statewide, grassroots membership
organizaiton to engage in non-partisan electoral and legislative

academic achievement and capacity to envision a better
future.

care, and early and regular preventive care and supports.

To
learn and achieve in schools and early childhood settings
that are grounded in quality and equality.

be safe from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation,
and violence.
