More throwback moments that remind us why this work matters. 🏛️ Parents must be at the center of education decisions not just informed after decisions are made, but part of shaping them from the start. That’s the heart of @dcpave #DCParentVoiceAndChoiceWeek. #ParentPower

Throwbacks from meetings in the Wilson Building 🏛️ For over 11 years, @dcpave parents have been organizing, advocating, and leading across DC. Parents belong at the table. If not, we’re on the menu.#purplewave #DCParentVoiceAndChoiceWeek
