Hi John,

Attacks on the Department of Education and efforts to dismantle it jeopardize the resources, programs, and protections that give millions of students the opportunity to succeed.

Educators, parents, community leaders and elected officials are coming together tomorrow to stand up for students and public schools. 

Join the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), union allies and our community as we stand up to protect kids’ safety, education and futures at one of these two events:

EVENT #1: Elon Musk, Out of Ed!

WHEN: Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 11 a.m. 

WHERE: Department of Education
400 Maryland Ave SW
Washington, DC 

EVENT #2: Protect Students, Protect Public Schools Rally with AFT and union allies

WHEN: Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 4 p.m. 

WHERE: Independence Avenue and First Street SE

Washington, DC 

Together, we can build:

• Safe and inclusive schools where every child feels secure and supported.
• Strong public education that invests in every child, not just a privileged few.
• Our children’s future by prioritizing commonsense solutions that ensure their safety and success.

We intend to rally despite the snowy forecast, so please dress warmly. We hope you’ll join us to stand united and demand action.
