Texas PTA is developing its advocacy priorities for the 90th Texas Legislature, and PTA members can help shape which issues they take to Austin.

The Texas PTA Advocacy Survey asks members to share what they see and experience in their schools, homes, and communities. You do not have to be a policy expert. You just need to bring your experience, your concerns, and your voice.

At Dream City PAC, we believe strong communities are built when people participate in the decisions that affect their daily lives. That includes making sure the voices of Arlington families, educators, and public education advocates are part of statewide conversations about the future of our schools.

If you are a PTA member, please take 15 minutes to complete the survey by Wednesday, September 9.

And do not stop there. Share it with other PTA members in your school community and encourage them to participate too. The more Arlington voices represented, the stronger our collective voice will be.

Public education policy is shaped long before legislators cast their votes. This is one of those moments when showing up matters.

There was a time when disagreement did not automatically mean division.

Community leaders could sit across from one another, listen, disagree, find common ground where it existed, and still work together on behalf of the people they served. That is part of democracy. And in a moment when so much of our politics is built around polarization, we believe listening matters more than ever.

We recently had the opportunity to hear Commissioner Alisa Simmons speak at Arlington Residents for Inclusion’s monthly meeting. What stood out to us was something simple but important: the value of being present in the community and listening to the people who live here.

Listening does not mean everyone agrees. It means people are heard. It means leaders remain connected to the experiences, concerns, and hopes of the people they represent. And it creates the possibility of restoring some balance to a county government that should be able to govern for all of Tarrant County, not just the people who agree with those in power.

This is also why listening is at the heart of Dream City PAC’s work. Our mission is to engage residents, build people-powered civic participation, and support leadership that reflects the values, needs, and voices of our diverse community. We believe strong communities are built when residents have a real voice in shaping the decisions that affect their lives.

That work means participating in community conversations, helping neighbors understand what is happening in local government, connecting voters with resources, and encouraging people to show up and make their voices heard at the ballot box and beyond.

Listen. Learn. Engage. Vote.

That is how we build a stronger Arlington and a stronger Tarrant County. It starts by showing up, listening, and staying engaged.

What happens when public education becomes a business? When public dollars move into private systems? When schools are expected to compete for students and funding? When school leaders are increasingly asked to operate like CEOs?

The future of public education is part of what Texas voters will decide this November.

Today, students across Arlington are heading back to school.

To our students: We hope this year is filled with curiosity, friendship, joy, and the confidence to discover just how much you are capable of.

To our teachers and staff: Thank you for welcoming students into your classrooms, caring for them, challenging them, and believing in them.

To our campus and district leaders: Thank you for carrying the enormous responsibility of creating schools where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

We hope each of you has a wonderful first day and a great school year. And as our children walk through those school doors today, the rest of us have work to do.

This fall, public education is on the ballot in Texas.

Our students deserve fully-funded schools. Our educators deserve the resources and respect they need to do their jobs well. Our communities deserve strong neighborhood public schools. And every child in Texas deserves access to an excellent public education, regardless of their ZIP code or their family's circumstances.

So today, we celebrate the beginning of a new school year. And this fall, we fight for the public schools, educators, and students at the heart of our communities.

Happy first day, Arlington. Here is to a great year.

Literacy and Justice for All.

Those are not just words on a t-shirt. They represent the future we believe every student deserves.

This fall, Dream City PAC is focusing our energy, advocacy, and resources on one issue: public education. We believe strong public schools build stronger communities, and literacy is at the heart of that work.

Literacy opens doors. It creates opportunity. It strengthens civic participation. It empowers people to advocate for themselves, engage with their communities, and build a brighter future. When we invest in literacy, we invest in Arlington.

Our new "Literacy and Justice for All" shirts are a way to show your support for public education and the students who rely on it every day.

Every purchase helps fuel our work to educate, organize, and advocate for leaders who will strengthen and defend public education across our community.

Wear your values. Start conversations. Stand with public education.

It was encouraging to spend time with people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives who all share the belief that public education is worth investing in.

This is going to take all of us working together, listening to one another, and keeping public education at the center of the conversation.

Today, community members showed up.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Tarrant County Commissioners Court meeting, spoke during public comment, submitted emails, made phone calls, shared information with your networks, and worked behind the scenes to advocate for equitable access to voting.

Because of your advocacy, the proposal to reduce voting locations was tabled. While this is not a final decision, it is an important reminder that community voices matter and that civic engagement makes a difference.

At Dream City PAC, we believe democracy works best when every eligible voter has a fair and practical opportunity to participate. Protecting access to the ballot is not a partisan issue. It is about ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to be heard.
