Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

We are still working to recapture pre-COVID achievement and reverse declining trendlines that go back over a decade.
Tutoring is a piece of the puzzle, but we need much more focus and collective energy to address this challenge.
