Save Our Schools Arizona Network works to build the organizing capacity and electoral power of Arizona communities that are most often ignored by and underrepresented in existing state and local power structures. We organize year-round around the issue of public education because the whole community is often invested in and responsible for the success of their local schools. This is particularly true in low-income and underrepresented rural, Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities, where chronically underfunded public schools remain the only education option.
In 2025, our primary programs are community-led voter registration (including programs in schools and community health centers), action summits and townhalls hosted with a broad coalition of partners, and training leaders and advocates in our state (including a newly launched School Board Fellowship to provide support for newly elected leaders).
Save Our Schools AZ engages voters most disadvantaged by cuts to state education funding, including low-income and underrepresented rural, Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities. Our 18,000+ statewide volunteer network employs phone/text banking, roadshows, community tabling, digital ads, and relational organizing.
Save Our Schools Arizona Network is a non-partisan, community-based organization that strengthens and protects quality public education for every student, family, and community.
