Despite California’s dedication to innovation and notable economic standing, significant shortcomings in the state’s education systems are continuing to hold back our state’s prosperity and students of color, low-income students, English learners, and other underserved populations.
The Alliance for Candidate Engagement in Education is a group of prominent nonpartisan 501 (c) (3) education, civil rights, and legal advocacy organizations in California that are aligned on the educational equity goals of improving student outcomes and increasing access, quality, funding, and workforce investments in our early learning, TK-12, and higher education systems in our state. Together, we’re calling on all candidates to commit to real solutions and to ensure education and California’s students are at the forefront of the 2026 election.
