President Trump’s Department of Education is threatening to withhold
federal funding from states that refuse to end diversity, equity, and
inclusion programs designed to promote equal access to education in our
nation’s schools.

So last week, I filed my 15th lawsuit against this administration to fight
back.

over anti-DEI funding threat to schools

The Trump administration is holding $7.9 BILLION hostage from California
children and schools unless state and local agencies terminate lawful
efforts to ensure equal access to education for all of our students.

This is yet another illegal power grab by Trump to cut funding that was
already approved by Congress. With this order, Trump and Secretary Linda
McMahon are abandoning our kids.

If Trump gets his way, our state could lose billions in funding that pays
for:

* Financial support to ensure that students from low-income families
have the same access to high-quality education as their peers;
* Special education services for students with disabilities;
* Recruitment and training of highly skilled and dedicated teachers;
* Programming for non-native speakers to learn English;
* Support for vulnerable children in foster care and without housing.

This is an attack on our children and yet another attempt by Trump and his
administration to break the law.

this. If you have my back, can you pitch in $5 to our
people-powered campaign so I can stay focused on fighting these threats to
California’s children?
