Words from Our Supporters

  • Honesty is terribly important. After a nearly 40 year gap, there is finally a funded organization with people who can dedicate their time and expertise to magnifying the critical role of public education in our democracy, with a clear eyed focus on the value of every person - a foundational quality of public education - and a core set of values that are essential in a democracy.

    — Susie Kaeser

  • Working with Honesty has been helpful in helping connect a local organizer with allys across the state, all with a shared vision. It helps us understand the legislative landscape we’re working in and where/how to try to apply pressure. I value having a trustworthy resource like Honesty

    — Sarah Myers

  • As a candidate for school board in 2023, I spent a lot of time diving into Honesty's resources as I navigated the landscape of education in Ohio. The tools provided were incredibly beneficial throughout the campaign and in my first two years serving our district. Our statehouse is the primary driver of the direction of public education in Ohio. Volunteering with Honesty, joining coalition calls, and being part of the School Board Alliance have been paramount in growing my ability to advocate for our students, teachers, and staff, as well as communicate complicated challenges in education to community members.

    — Lindsey Wyckoff

  • Honesty Team… WOW! I’ve learned so much and would not be serving my community the same way without this group. You create spaces where people show up authentically. You’re a true convener—and that’s rare.

    — Community Partner
