Introduction

In Argentina and Mexico, parents and families succeeded in bringing together coalitions of diverse organizations and built national movements to secure the right to education for our children.

Launched in mid-2020, Padres Organizados was founded as a network led by mothers and fathers who mobilized in Argentina to reopen schools. In December 2020, #AlasAulas campaign brought 200 organizations together and mobilized more than 200,000 parents to ask for the re-opening of schools. Earlier this year, the movement was successful in achieving the opening of schools! Inspired by the success in Argentina, #AlasAulas Mexico was launched.

During this event, speakers shared the challenges, successes, and lessons around organizing and building power through these campaigns.
