It's why American Cancer Society has a c3 and a c4.

wrong

It’s mostly right. C3s can engage in advocacy but cannot do any kind of political activity. So a C3 can advocate on a certain issue but can’t make any materials about how a candidate voted on that issue in the past.

There seems to be some major jealousy in Arlington with how well organized we are.

I think you're mistaking disgust for jealousy.

Then why are you even talking about them?

OP here. I am curious about their intentions with their new lobbying abilities.

And what connections do they have with the other parent groups? It it another attempt to astroturf?

It’s happening in FCPS plus one Koch-affiliated group is even based right here in Arlington.

There is a thread on AEM where the APE founder answers these questions. Go find it.

Funded only by parents of children currently enrolled in Arlington schools?

I'm not jealous, but I am suspicious, because these seems like gathering of the most annoying, entitled white parents on AEM. Or possibly formerly on AEM; I don't keep up with it especially closely.

They are currently on AEM trying to convince other parents not to sign up for screening testing. Not a group I want to donate to.

You do realize that whomever is in AEM saying whatever, is not speaking for APE, right? Many in APE are *not* in AEM so have no clue what you're alluding to. When APE rarely posts in AEM, they make it clear it's from APE.

This is what APE says whenever it goes too far.

Watch the 3 APE members' speeches in Open Comments to the School Board last night. They're very clear when they're speaking on behalf of APE. In fact, the former SB candidate/APE board member addressed that distinction last night in her comments.

Now that you mention Miranda it's very interesting that a former candidate is starting a lobbying group to fundraise and influence elections. TT spoke too and he was her biggest supporter / obnoxious mouthpiece.

Will APE be funding Miranda's next run?

Not APE but I do hope she runs. The SB group think is not serving APS well.

I'm a pretty crunchy, pinko liberal, and my spidey sense isn't really going off here. I'm guessing that these are a bunch of slightly high-strung parents that want to see their high-achieving kids not lose their competitive edge over kids from parts of the country and privates where schools remained open.

Great questions.

What is APE's position on masking, screening/testing, CRT, etc.?

Crickets from APE here.

Telling.

I think you have to wait longer than 20 minutes before you call crickets. It’s a rule.

Yes, it's very telling. Telling that they have something other than message board stalking going on in their lives.

Still crickets. So I'll just go ahead and assume what APE's members have already said their positions are:

anti masks
anti screening testing
anti quarantines
anti equity initiatives
pro school vouchers

You know, that’s just the worst of dcum right there. Assume someone’s positions so you can dismiss them out of hand. Make it up, pass judgement and abuse them for things you created yourself. It’s completely obnoxious.

We left APS this year for private; a move I never would have made. And now my husband is pro voucher. and a dem

And yet the organization has shown no signs of advocating any of these positions. Individuals can have their own opinions without representing a whole group.

I wouldn’t assume that, but I would like to hear from APE about those topics.

They were authorized by APE to speak on APE's behalf. They were a few of our numerous volunteers and members. For those who are interested, please join our Facebook group to see about important APS analyses and APE social events.
