“Trump committed to dismantling Education Department as order looms”

Trump is planning to implement yet another move from the Project 2025 playbook: He wants to eradicate the Department of Education.

Brittany Pettersen believes every child deserves access to a high-quality public education. She knows firsthand the difference it can make – because of investments in public education, Brittany became the first person in her family to graduate from high school and college!

But Donald Trump wants to force public schools to lay off teachers and counselors, take away resources for students with disabilities, and slash programs like money for low-income schools and federal student loans.

As a proud product of Colorado public schools, Brittany won’t stand idly by as Trump works to abolish the Department of Education and throw students and teachers under the bus. And she needs you standing with her.

If you believe students and teachers deserve *more* support from our government — not less — sign your name to Brittany’s new petition today to help protect the Department of Education. More than ever before, we have to step up and use our voices to defend public education.

Thank you for making your voice heard.

Team Pettersen
