There is over $4.8 billion for afterschool and summer programs in California from state and federal funds. Less than 2% of that funding goes to high school students, even though research shows that older youth benefit greatly from these programs, improving students' mental health, academic performance, safety, and well-being. This video was produced, filmed, and edited by young people from the David's Harp Foundation, a youth arts mentorship program in San Diego.

In the 2020-21 school year, more than 25 million children and youth – roughly half of all elementary and secondary students in the United States – attended schools in school districts that lacked dedicated funding to identify and support students experiencing homelessness. This significant funding gap increases the likelihood that many children and youth experiencing homelessness will not be identified, and even in cases where they are identified, that they will not receive the educational protections and services that can stabilize their education and their lives. Ensuring access to these...

• Instructional work, where math or English-language-arts teams, including instructional coaches, special-education teachers, and English learner/multilingual teachers, work to improve the quality of instruction within classrooms.

Illinois is dead last when it comes to the percentage of education dollars provided by the state to its cities. Ludwig believes adding $1.7 billion dollars would not only bring Illinois up to the national average, but could substantially reduce gun violence as well....
