The Reform Alliance took part in the 2020 National School Choice Week and what a week it was!

We were proud to host several events including a virtual town hall, a statewide rally, and a free movie screening of Miss Virginia!

We had a great time seeing THOUSANDS come out for the rally and Miss Virginia movie screening! Thank you to The Robinson Center and Riverdale 10 movie theatre for letting us use your venues. They were perfect for the occasions!

We were thrilled to have hundreds tune in to our virtual town hall! A BIG thanks to the Arkansas Supreme Court for letting us use their room.

What an inspirational letter from Shannon Lewis, a mom who saw school choice work for her child. Thank you for sharing your story, Shannon!
