Legislative Roadmap

Our state-by-state strategy builds momentum toward national change.

Phase 1: Beachhead States (2026-2027)

Target 5-8 states with favorable conditions: Texas, Florida, Nevada, Kentucky, Oregon, and Oklahoma. Build partnerships with state educator organizations and introduce model legislation.

2

Phase 2: Momentum States (2027-2028)

Expand to 15-20 additional states, leveraging Phase 1 victories. Create regional clusters and use media coverage to build pressure on neighboring states.

3

Phase 3: National Campaign (2028-2031)

With 15+ state victories, launch the federal campaign. Introduce the Educator's Bill of Rights Act in Congress with bipartisan sponsors. Target appropriations for the Violence-Free Schools Fund.
