Kansas Appleseed is a nonprofit advocacy organization that champions laws and policies that support vulnerable and excluded Kansans in order to build a state full of thriving, inclusive, and just communities.

We focus especially on issues affecting kids, immigrants, and the fair administration of justice.

To advance positive laws and policies, we research the details of a problem, its root causes, and workable solutions; we support the public’s voice in policy decisions through community organizing and grassroots engagement; and we shepherd policy solutions through the decision-making process at the state and local level.​

Kids

We believe every Kansas kid deserves a safe and secure childhood and a hopeful future.

Immigrants

We believe Kansas should continue to welcome immigrants, with full participation in our communities and with equal protection of the law.

Fair Courts

We believe justice cannot survive in Kansas unless our courts are fair, independent, and open to all.​
