Great to see some of our parents leaders pushing parents to get out there to vote.
If you're a voter, you're a changemaker. And if you inspire those around you—from your spouse to your MARTA seatmate—to prioritize Georgia’s youngest children at the polls, there’s no telling how far your contribution will travel! Early Childhood Changemaker, Denise Cambridge, shares her get-out-the-vote magic in our latest @Saportareport column. Click here to read: geears.org/news/carrying-geo…

We’re hosting another Parent Chat! 👋
On Thursday, November 5 at 7 PM ET, the Navigate School Choice team will be live for a conversation about Open Enrollment, also known as Public School Transfer, and transportation.
We’ll talk through some of the questions families may have along the way, including how public school transfers work, what to know about lotteries and waitlists, and transportation options to consider.
Each Parent Chat is a chance for families to learn more about the school choice topics that matter to them and get practical information to help navigate their options.
Know a parent who might find this helpful? Please share it with them!

Over 25 parents filled a room to talk about school quality and better outcomes for our students in Valdosta. This is parent organizing at its core. Proud of the team that made this event happen and created space for parents to come together, speak up, and advocate for their students.
Early voting has begun in Georgia! Make a plan to vote: there are several important races on the ballot. Find out where to vote at mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

Great opportunity for parents and educators to advance their advocacy skills in a community of other changemakers.
I'm clearly biased, but the participant reviews of this fellowship are off the charts.
"Advocacy can be lonely and so this community has been essential."

Congratulations to cohort 4 FIRE fellows for recently completing their fellowship!
Made up of parents from across the country, this class of fellows spent the past several months learning new ways to raise their voices on behalf of students, and to bring those new skills back to their own communities to transform education.
We're so excited to welcome a few Georgia FIRE fellows to our work. Congratulations!
Congrats to Cohort 4 of @FiftyCAN’s FIRE program! From Hawaii to Massachusetts, these leaders are building skills to become even stronger advocates for students and families.
