The mission of The Parents’ Campaign is to ensure a brighter future for Mississippi children by promoting better public schools through parent advocacy. We inform parents of legislation that affects our schools, help them identify and contact their own legislators, and report to them about how their legislators vote on bills that determine the level of education offered their children. By giving parents a means by which their voices can be heard, we are working together to change our state for the better.
