Friends, we just secured a major win for California students and schools.

Trump’s Department of Education tried to take back hundreds of millions of dollars in academic recovery funding that states were awarded following the COVID-19 pandemic. That money was being used to help struggling students catch up — especially those hit hardest by school closures — through after-school and summer learning programs, educational technology, and mental health support.

So we sued.

And today, the Trump administration backed down.

We protected more than $200 million for California schools. Without this win, all of that would have been at risk.

This is why we fight. When Trump breaks the law and puts Californians at risk, we take him to court.

Help make sure we can keep fighting — and winning — these critical battles by chipping in today. Your support directly powers our work to hold Trump accountable and stop him from breaking the law at Californians’ expense.
