Our Schools USA Endorses Maliha Williamson for Riverside County Board of Education

CHINO, CA – Our Schools USA, a grassroots non-profit founded by parents, teachers and school board members dedicated to advancing quality public education for all students, has endorsed Maliha Williamson in her race for Riverside County Board of Education in Trustee Area 7. 

“Maliha Williamson knows that educating children works best with engaged parents and caring teachers working together to create a safe space for all children to learn,” said Christina Gagnier, a former school board member and co-founder of Our Schools USA. “Extremists putting their own personal political crusades ahead of educating our children have no place making decisions on our school boards or anywhere else.” 

"I am honored to have been endorsed by Our Schools USA,” said Maliha Williamson. “Our public education, our educators who support a diverse curriculum, and our children – especially those from underrepresented communities – are under attack.  We need to denounce the dangerous rhetoric going around and put the focus back on offering quality education and work on creating a safe environment for our students and our staff."

 Founded in February 2023, Our Schools USA is a grassroots non-profit that has grown to have chapters and partnerships with public school advocates in thirty states. Last November, Our Schools USA supported eighteen winning school board candidates in Pennsylvania. Our efforts have been covered by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, The Guardian, Daily Beast, Vice News, San Francisco Chronicle, Sacramento Bee, and more.
