Powering Community Leadership for Stronger Public Schools.

We organize, advocate and take action to improve education for every student in Denver.

At Denver Families Action (DFA), our primary focus is developing community leadership and engaging directly with voters to build long-term power for public school families. We invest in the next generation of education advocates through hands-on training, leadership development, and organizing efforts that empower families, educators, and community members to lead the conversations and campaigns that matter most.

As part of this work, we also endorse bold, student-centered candidates for the Denver Board of Education—those who reflect the values and priorities of the communities they serve. Our ultimate goal is a public school system where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive.

Endorsements

Denver Families Action makes public endorsements on school board candidates, ballot measures, and education policies that align with our values of educational equity, student success, and community voice. Each endorsement is informed by what we hear from families and reflects our commitment to advancing a school system where every student can thrive.

We evaluate candidates and initiatives based on their understanding of the challenges facing Denver Public Schools and their ability to present a clear, community-rooted vision for the future.

Active Endorsement Work

We are currently engaged in the 2025 Denver Board of Education election. Check out our endorsements page for more information on the process and our endorsed candidates.
