Public School Strong: Communities Protecting Public Education
Public School Strong: Communities Protecting Public Education
PENNSYLVANIA - Virtual
February 18, 2026 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM ET ***** EASTERN TIME *****
Education varies state by state, however Pennsylvania is largely a red state. So, tuning in to state specific issues helps us realize what COULD happen here and to prepare for the possibility of similar issues in Illinois. No need to reinvent any wheels! We can learn from them and help them in some way possible.
Public education and democracy are at a critical crossroads. Join PAWInS, Red Wine and Blue PA, and Public School Strong to explore the current moment — who and what public schools are up against — and why attacks on public education are happening. Learn about Public School Strong — their origins and the theory of change guiding their work to protect and strengthen public schools across PA. We’ll also introduce practical tools you can use locally, including the Public School Strong Organizing Platform, designed to help you take action, build power, and connect with others working toward the same goals. We’ll examine why schools are being targeted as part of an authoritarian playbook: weaponizing fear, undermining institutions, exploiting religion, targeting marginalized communities, rewriting history, dividing communities, and eroding truth. Whether you’re an educator, parent, student, or community member who believes in strong public schools, this event is for you.
