We support people, especially young people, to prepare for and speak out at their local school board meetings. School boards are one of the main places where political attacks on our rights begin. They are also one of the only places where regular people can stop them.
SEE Alliance is building a multigenerational coalition to activate young voters, shift local power, and secure the 2026 elections. No experience is necessary. All you need is a desire to protect democracy and a willingness to take action. You can learn more about why school boards matter below. If you are ready to get involved now, we will help you take the first step.

Why School Boards?
School boards are where real people can make a real difference. They control what gets taught, which books stay on shelves, how students are protected, and whose stories are included or erased. They are also one of the few places in government where anyone can speak, organize, and influence change—without needing money, status, or experience.
Here’s why we focus on school boards:
-
The impact is immediate.
Of all levels of government, school boards are where individuals can have the most direct influence on policy and decision-making.
-
They bring people together.
Data shows that school boards are one of the last public spaces in the United States where people are willing to come together over shared values, despite differences in political ideology.
-
They engage young people in democracy.
When students get involved with school board organizing, they’re more likely to vote, stay politically engaged, and lead for life.
-
They’re the front lines of the education crisis.
Book bans, curriculum censorship, and attacks on public education often start at the school board level. Defending education means showing up here first.
-
They strengthen civic engagement.
Raising awareness and organizing around school boards leads to greater participation in local elections and long-term involvement in all levels of government.

SEE Our Story
With over 2,000 young organizers leading the charge, we’ve reached more than 1.2 billion people through press and social media, and over 25 million through in-person actions, organizing, and community power in the streets.
Our "Say Gay" campaign and our victorious lawsuit against Governor DeSantis and the state of Florida defeated the Don't Say Gay law, mobilizing 25,000 high schoolers, 45,000 supporters, and sparking action in all 67 Florida school districts.
We reached over 7 million voters through issue-driven campaigns, created a youth journalism hub with 30 monthly reporters, and digitally engaged students in 51 of Florida’s 67 districts.

SEE grew from a high school club of 12 friends to a statewide movement of over 2,000 student organizers. From here, it the movement has grown every week.
2023
We launched Walkout 2 Learn, one of the largest youth-led protests in U.S. history, activating over 300 college and high school camouses in a single day of action, garnering 870M+ press impressions.
In 2025 and 2026, we’re going all in. Midterms on Our Terms is our largest campaign yet—a youth-led, data-driven movement to flip school boards, defend democracy, and make sure the next election serves the people, not the powerful. We’re training thousands, flooding meetings, launching mass canvasses, and turning viral momentum into real power. This is how we take our future back.
