Dear John,

Donald Trump just issued an executive order to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. He doesn't have the authority to do it outright—but if MAGA Republicans defund the Department, the result will be the same: fewer resources, larger class sizes, and less support for the students and educators who need it most.

The Department of Education is not just bureaucracy—it's a lifeline for millions of families:

✅ Administers federal student loans
✅ Supports over 25 million low-income students
✅ Provides critical funding for special education programs
✅ Enforces protections against discrimination in our schools

Let's be clear: this isn't just about policy—it's about values. Trump and his MAGA allies have launched a full-on culture war, using schools, diversity programs, and children's futures as pawns.

And they're doing it to bankroll tax cuts for billionaires.

But we know better. We know that a great nation doesn't gut its schools. A strong democracy invests in children, educators, and working families. That's what we've always fought for—and we're not bowing to a would-be king now.

Our kids deserve fully funded classrooms. Our teachers deserve respect. And our communities deserve a future.

Will you stand with me to stop Trump's attacks on public education—and move this country forward, not back?
