What Does LUPS Support Mean?

Non-Endorsement Policy

The Coalition cannot endorse candidates due to its mix of non-partisan and partisan member groups. However, we recognize that community members will look to us for guidance on candidates who best champion public education.

Educating Voters

While the Coalition does not formally endorse candidates, we educate voters about pro-public education candidates who align with our mission and values and connect volunteers with their campaigns.

Types of Volunteer Support

Support may include encouraging volunteers to participate in campaign activities, posting links to candidate websites, publicizing candidate forums and other events through LUPS’s website and social media, and contributing volunteers’ skills to campaign management, such as communications planning, media management, and strategy-building.

Candidate Criteria

Lift Up Public Schools (LUPS) supports candidates for education-related public offices who demonstrate a clear commitment to advocacy for public schools and school systems that value:


  • A supportive, student-centered learning environment that fosters belonging
  • Respect for student and educator privacy rights
  • An accurate, anti-biased, and evidence-based curriculum
  • Vigorous defense of Title IX protections
  • Equitable access to safe, healthy, and modern school facilities and critical infrastructure, including technology
  • Strong public funding for publicly governed public schools

Disclaimer: Lift Up Public Schools (LUPS) is a coalition of civic education, partisan and non-partisan organizations and their members, that does not endorse candidates. LUPS educates voters (and potential volunteers) about pro-public education candidates and campaigns that align with our mission and values.
