Andru Volinsky returns to WFC to share his just-published book, The Last Bake Sale.

At a time when public education is under attack, teachers are being laid off, and funding crises are hitting communities hard, The Last Bake Sale dives into one of the biggest questions in education today: Why is school funding in America so unequal?

Drawing from his decades-long fight as the lead attorney in one of the nation’s landmark school funding cases, Claremont (NH) v. Governor, Andru Volinsky tells this story like no one else can. After explaining how federal law developed to get us here, Andru uses New Hampshire—a state where the poorest communities pay the highest school taxes yet raise the least money—as a lens, Volinsky exposes the harsh realities of an unjust system that prioritizes privilege over fairness.

But this isn’t just a story about what’s wrong. It’s a roadmap for how we can make things better. From courtrooms to community action to political office, Volinsky shows how litigation, public engagement, and direct political involvement can drive real change in education policy and beyond.

Change can happen. The Last Bake Sale is proof—and an urgent call to action for anyone who believes in fair access to education for every child, no matter where they live.
