Millions took to the streets yesterday to be heard and that matters.

But the real work happens everyday in our communities. Get organized, lead with love, and move in solidarity.

We got us.

For community college students, “online classes are here to stay,” Daniel Seddiqui, a youth employment counselor, writes. But some “just aren’t getting the three-dimensional experience of college life that would help them become well-rounded professionals.”

SFUSD’s 2024-25 data release: mixed so far, but overall not exactly the best we can do for our students.

Unclear if SFUSD has learned anything about engaging the parent and student community BEFORE making massive decisions like this….

One of our founders, Meredith Dodson, just donated some of her education, activism, and leadership books to our staff & parent leader office.

What are some of your favorites that we should add to our library? #edequity #raisethebar #closethegap

Every Kamala voter in America watching Trump and Musk slapfight because electing the smart Black lady was too much to ask.

We are a sanctuary city. This is horrific for our kids and families.

“They needed someone who would inspire confidence,” -Meredith Dodson, executive director of SF Parents. “Maria Su was the only person who would instill that feeling of, ‘We’re going to be OK.’ She does know how to navigate the city system and the politics, and she does care deeply about kids.”

In Mayor @daniellurie.bsky.social words today:

“SF Parents helped change the culture and narrative of this City”

That’s right. And we’re not done fighting for SF’s kids. Thanks to everyone who made it out today for our spring celebration of our schools & parent wins!

Nice to see SF Parents (via cofounder Meredith Dodson) on the list of mighty SF solutions-bringers and influencers! This honor is for you, parent advocates!

Introducing The SF100: The Standard’s highly subjective, surely divisive list of who holds power, influence, and attention in San Francisco in 2025.

The staff of the Standard spent months figuring out who runs this place and whittled it down to 100.

Thanks to @sfparents.bsky.social board chair and SF public school mom Jennie Herriot-Hatfield for this important piece. Lazy haters of our public schools get them nowhere. Critique where it’s due, sure, but do your HW first.

We have so much to be proud of about our local schools.

Exactly. There’s always room for improvement. But it’s not the dumpster fire some typical haters like to assume it is. That was just the school board of 2020.😆

Good read. It's infuriating to listen to the insulting rhetoric about the schools. There are problems and those who stay aren't saying there aren't. However the answer isn't to throw one's hands up and insult the system without ever walking through the doors.

“…Many SF families aren’t running away. Many of us are here by choice, proud of our city and its public education system, & determined to make our schools even better.” 👏
-SF Parent Coalition board chair Jennie Herriot-Hatfield

If you’re not already deeply mobilized to oppose & stop these fascists, I truly hope this gets you there.

*Wins for SF kids* brought to you by yours truly, SF Parents:

Just tonight the SF Board of Ed approved evidence-based K-5 and 6-8 math programs to replace our outdated ineffective ones.

Time for SF to see some student gains in math. Thank you parents for your tireless advocacy the past 2 years🙏

So irresponsible of you.

Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy. His attacks on lawyers and law firms are damaging our boat. If he can simply defy court orders, the boat will sink entirely. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Ugh😟

Thank you for writing this!

I went to public schools and my children did. SFUSD is trying to be better beyondchron.org/why-parents-...
