Public education is the bedrock of our communities and the key to a brighter future for millions of students.
John,
Last night, Donald Trump issued an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.
Closing the Department of Education would require an act of Congress, but already the impact of the announcement is being felt across the country.
The administration’s crusade against public education is nothing new. Trump and his GOP cronies are attacking public education to divert essential resources from students, teachers, families, and communities to fund tax breaks for the ultra-rich.
This reckless act threatens the quality of education for children in every community — whether rural, urban, or suburban.
And that's not all, John.
Nearly half of the department’s staff have been fired — a blatant attack on public servants who work to ensure our students have the resources and support they need to thrive.
We refuse to take this lying down. Right now, we should be investing in our children’s future — not robbing them of the education they deserve.
Will you speak up today and send a letter to your members of Congress demanding that they stand with students, teachers, and parents, and reject any attempt to gut our children’s education?
Send the Letter ➡️
Thank you for taking action, John.
In solidarity,
— LeftNet
