Hi friend, this is Arne Duncan, former Secretary of Education under the Obama administration and a childhood friend of Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul.

For as long as I’ve known him, Kwame has always prioritized fairness and equality. 

So it was no surprise to me that when Trump signed his morally bankrupt executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, Kwame immediately sprung into action. He joined 20 other state attorneys general to challenge this unconstitutional order and protect our nation’s most vulnerable students. 

Economically disadvantaged children, rural students, students with special needs, college students who depend on Pell Grants — without the Department of Education, those most in need of support will lose vital educational opportunities. 

Kwame is firmly committed to continuing the fight for ALL students to have access to quality education and the opportunities it affords.

If you can, please fuel his work with a donation of any amount today. Every dollar helps him continue his work for justice as the people’s lawyer.

I am so grateful for Attorney General Raoul’s leadership and for folks like you who are supporting him in his fight to protect our children. 

Thank you, 

Arne Duncan 
Former U.S. Secretary of Education
