2013: Hope, Action, Results foreword by betsy devos chairman, alliance for school choice Every day, hundreds of thousands of children across the country wake up and head to a school of their parents’ choice—a choice that would not be available for many of those students if not for the work of the Alliance for School Choice and our allies in the educational choice movement. It is those lives that we impact, the untold children who know nothing about what we do, but with educational choice, they have access to the environment best suited for their academic needs. Yet for every one of those students with a choice, there are countless students who are denied the right to educational freedom. And that’s why our efforts matter: Not yesterday’s victories, but tomorrow’s triumphs—the many hundreds of thousands of children who will reach their potential because we continue to break down the barriers to educational choice and opportunity.

This is why our cause has evolved—no longer are we simply education reform advocates, nor are we mere proponents for change. Together we are part of an education revolution— a revolution that results in parents, especially those who have children trapped in failing schools, having choices. And, only through educational choice can we unleash the power of bold innovation to transform the lives of these children to give them hope for a much brighter future. We are confident that ultimately our revolution will succeed, because we give voice to millions of children and parents who are asking for nothing more than the fundamental right to a choice that will give them equal access to the quality education they deserve. Thank you for another tremendous year educational choice victories and for joining us in our EdRevolution!
Sincerely,
Betsy DeVos, Chairman Alliance for School Choice
