National Parents Union
National Parents Union is a network of highly-effective parent organizations and grassroots activists across the country that come together to unite behind a set of common goals and principles to channel the power of parents. Our family advocates improve the quality of life for children across the United States and define the education conversation in the 2020 election cycle. NPU puts children and families at the center of education politics and policy. With delegates representing each of the 50 states, NPU disrupts the traditional role of parent voice in policy spaces and develop a new narrative that is inclusive of families from a wide variety of intersectional perspectives. For the first time ever, parents of color, low-income parents, special needs parents, single mothers and fathers, grandparents, formerly incarcerated parents, and parents in recovery will join traditionally represented parent voices to join a vibrant coalition. A coalition that puts the best interest of our children at the center of education policy conversations on a national level. National Parents Union empowers local organizations through skills building, direct organizational infrastructure assistance, and professional development to support local leadership and enhance effective grassroots efforts to build parent voice. This work is currently already happening informally through our individual networks. On any given day we are fielding questions and messages from our counterparts across the country about strategy and operations. There is a significant need for a national body that provides centralized technical assistance and encouragement and also harnesses the collective power of parent efforts in important national fights where teachers unions have a monopoly on the conversation.
