 John,
After signing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE), Trump’s administration is gutting the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the very agency responsible for investigating racial discrimination in schools.
He’s already cut more than 40% of OCR staff.
And now, their investigations? They’re stalling.
Parents are complaining that their critical civil rights complaints aren’t being investigated.
That means schools accused of violating students’ civil rights—discriminating by race, gender, disability—are slipping through the cracks with no oversight, no consequences, and no justice.
We’re watching the slow, deliberate unraveling of civil rights that generations of Black organizers fought for—and we refuse to be silent.
Before you keep scrolling, will you pitch in right now to fuel our fight for educational justice?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
This is a direct attack on Black youth, Black educators, and Black futures.
The administration is betting that we won’t notice—or won’t fight back. But we see it for exactly what it is: a calculated attempt to roll back our rights under the guise of “efficiency” and “reform.”
Black students deserve safe, equitable schools where they can be supported, especially if they have disabilities. When the government abandons that responsibility, we show up stronger—and we build something even better.
With your help, we’ll do just that.
In solidarity,
Black Lives Matter
Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It’s time we thrive.
As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.
A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.
Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
