USAction believes that every child deserves a quality public school education. To this end, we support full funding of federal education initiatives, promote greater access to afterschool programs and work to ensure every child's right to a quality public education regardless of his or her background.
 Fully Fund Education Legislation
We support full funding of education legislation, like the No Child Left Behind Act, to improve public schools, achieve educational equity and raise student achievement.
Support Afterschool Programs
We support efforts to ensure that all children and youth have access to high-quality, safe and enriching afterschool programs by the year 2010.
Promote Educational Equality
USAction opposes education reforms or public policies that disenfranchise any racial, cultural or ethnic group and otherwise deprive them of the public education to which they are entitled. We support proposals like the DREAM Act, to promote access to education for immigrant children who have been raised and schooled in our communities.
