Our students are watching.

100 days ago, one national story began.
99 days ago, we began our story of solidarity—on the National Day of Racial Healing.

Since then, nearly 200 educators, admins, families and allies have registered for the 2025 PEDC Summit.

All welcome!

We had a great week advocating for student teacher stipends and increasing the educator workforce support in PA!

Many thanks to over 100 advocates & students who made it to #Harrisburg and to those who participated in their districts.

Thank you for focusing on education! Our coalition really appreciated meeting with you on Tuesday to talk about our educator workforce crisis. PEDC is growing and bringing ppl together expand the workforce, particularly focusing on more educators of color and culturally competent educators.
