Building a Powerful Kansas for all of us
As the Kansas chapter of Public School Strong, we organize for long-term political power to save public schools and fight billionaires. We do leadership development, relationship building, and voter contact anchored in our Emporia, Lawrence, and Salina chapters. Join us!
Whether you’re a lifelong rabble-rouser or taking action for the first time, Kansas For All is a place to grow your leadership, organize with your neighbors, and help build strong local chapters that can win lasting change for public schools and beyond. All in-person events and meetings include meals and childcare because parents are welcome.
Join Kansas For All: the Kansas chapter of Public School Strong
We’re Building the Political Home Kansans Deserve.
Across our state, millions of people believe in strong public schools, reproductive freedom, good jobs, and multiracial democracy. Kansas For All builds local chapters, develops leaders, and organizes neighbor-to-neighbor to give working-class Kansans a political home.
Our first priorities: creating an undeniable mandate to fully fund special education, create an equitable school finance formula, and expand early childhood education.
Our Communities Hold Untapped Power
For too long, Kansas’s small towns and rural areas have been places campaigns visit only when they need votes. But our communities are rich in trust, relationships, and local leadership. We’re making a long-term investment to turn that overlooked strength into grassroots political power.
We’re
Ready to Win
We have a plan to shift power from billionaire-backed extremists to everyday Kansans, starting with saving our public schools. We won’t just block the billionaires and their far-right agenda—we’ll build the power to win a Kansas that works for working people.
