Veva led the fight to protect Fresno Unified’s students and schools — standing firm with teachers against a plan that threatened 11 school closures and millions in lost education dollars.
Veva championed Measure H to bring real facility upgrades to Area 4’s schools — fixing aging campuses like Norseman and Birney and giving every student a safe, modern place to learn.
Veva Islas celebrates Fresno Unified’s expansion of its HBCU Step-Up program with a second partner school — giving McLane and Sunnyside students a free, direct path to college credit.
Long before Measure S, Veva was already sounding the alarm on student pedestrian safety — pushing the city and county to invest in the sidewalks, crosswalks, and signals our schools still need.
