AFC trabaja para cambiar la política educativa para que el sistema de escuelas públicas sirva todo niños de manera efectiva. Publicamos informes de políticas y análisis de datos, testificamos a nivel municipal y estatal, hablamos en la prensa para llamar la atención sobre los desafíos que enfrentan los estudiantes y las familias a las que servimos, y nos unimos a otros defensores, padres, jóvenes y educadores para pedir cambiar.
