Our Kids.
Our Voice.

With more than 1,800 affiliated parent organizations in all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico and membership of more than 1.7 million, the National Parents Union is the united, independent voice of modern American families. We channel the power of parents, families and kinship providers into powerful policies that improve the lives of children, families and communities across the United States.

Our organization is run for parents, by parents representing the true intersectionality of modern American families. Our work is guided by a set of values that prioritize parent leadership, empowerment, collaboration, and community building.

We fight for the priorities American families demand: a stronger economy that works for us, innovation in education and public school options that prepare our children for economic mobility, navigating AI and our digital future and addressing the challenges of a changing climate.

NPU is home of the longest running poll of parents and families in America and each year lifts the voices of thousands of parents in hundreds of communities across the United States about the issues and concerns that matter most to American families.

NPU has mobilized thousands of parents, families and kinship providers from every corner of the country to ensure their voices are heard directly in Washington D.C.
