Team:

Donald Trump is preparing to shut down the Department of Education, wiping out $5.5 billion in funding for New York schools statewide to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

This will hurt our children, especially those from lower-income families in rural, suburban, and urban communities.

• That means:
• 📉 Larger class sizes — fewer teachers mean overcrowded classrooms and less support for students and educators
• 👩‍🏫 Lost learning support — cuts to tutoring, special education, and behavioral and mental health services hurt student success
• 📚 Not enough learning tools — reduced access to books, labs, and technology
• 🎓 Fewer advanced learning opportunities — AP, gifted programs, Pell Grants, and college aid programs become less accessible
• 💰 Greater funding disparities — wealthy districts thrive while poor ones fall behind, widening the education gap

This must stop. The Trump administration is neglecting the needs of our children. Together, we have the power to defeat this administration's effort to dismantle our public schools to pay for even more tax cuts for billionaires.

As New York’s first mom governor, Governor Hochul takes any harm to our kids personally. She is fighting back to protect our kids and keep Trump’s reckless cuts from hurting New York families. But she needs your help.

Please, chip in today to help Governor Hochul defend our schools and students.
