EDUCATED. WE STAND
Join us October 3rd to learn about ‘Educated We Stand’ with Jennifer Jenkins. EDUCATED WE STAND is launching a national, non-partisan organization dedicated to safeguarding the integrity of public education. Its mission is to limit the influence of far right extremists and maintain evidence-based learning environments that foster critical thinking and prepare students to be engaged, informed citizens.
 
Our Plan Is To:
 
• Establish a national network of independent expenditure campaigns, campaign operatives, and resources to recruit, elect, and protect school board members who support factual broad based-public education — and defeat those who do not.
 
• Develop regional, state and national messaging to establish training for elected leaders, parents, and local organizations on how to counter extremist arguments and defend unbiased learning environments.
 
 • Create policy and legislation libraries for elected leaders and policy makers. The library will provide officials who support public education with research based, ready-made language to introduce and pass laws and policy directives which support academic freedom and objectivity in our schools.
 
• Operate media and communications to educate communities on the dangers of far-right takeovers of public schools. EDUCATED WE STAND will counter disinformation and misinformation through engaging social media content and national press campaigns.

Jennifer Jenkins
Chair, Educated. We Stand
Jennifer Jenkins is a mom, an educator, and a School Board member in Brevard County, Fla.
Jenkins has made national headlines for defeating, Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich for school board by nearly 10 points, in a district that Donald Trump won by double digits and for championing unbiased public education at great personal cost. Her powerful advocacy and national platform have landed her as Governor Ron DeSantis’ #1 target of Democratic officials to defeat in 2024. And her strong voice for LGBTQ+ rights in Florida schools made her a national target for extremists who have leveled threats on her life and harm to her family, including protests at her home, vandalism of her property, and threats to her child.

 

Jennifer has inspired millions by standing up to these vicious attacks and physical intimidation against her and her family, never giving up and maintaining the confidence that she represented the beliefs of the overwhelming majority of her community.

 

Jennifer lives in Satellite Beach, Fla. with her husband, a middle school history teacher for 13 years, and her daughter Olive, who is attending 2nd grade in Brevard Public Schools.
