Alpha Families Take Their Voices to Sacramento – Advocacy in Action<\/strong>
<\/strong>Last month, Alpha Public Schools families made the journey from San Jos\u00e9 to the state capitol for Parent Voices California’s 2025 Stand for Children Day. Our parent leaders got the chance to meet Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens and the staff of Assemblymember Ash Kalra to share their personal stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Voice Heard, Every Story Valued<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What made this advocacy trip particularly powerful was the commitment to ensuring every parent could fully participate. Alpha staff served not only as supporters but as translators, making sure that language was never a barrier to being heard. Every story, every concern, and every hope for the future was communicated clearly and valued equally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was especially meaningful to walk alongside our parents not just as a supporter, but as a translator, making sure every voice was heard, understood, and valued<\/em>,” shared by an Alpha team member who accompanied the group on the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Partnership for Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advocacy trip represents the power of partnership between Alpha Public Schools, Parent Voices California, and LUNA – Latinos United for a New America. Together, these organizations are creating pathways for parents to engage in the political process and fight for the systemic changes their families need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Alpha families speak, legislators listen. Their stories carry the weight of lived experience and the hope for a better future for their children. This trip to Sacramento proves that our school community extends far beyond classroom walls, we’re raising the next generation of leaders while empowering today’s parents to create the change they want to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
