|  Happy New Year, JOHN! Like so many across the globe, we’re starting this year with goals — to be better, stronger, and more intentional about the future we’re building for ourselves and our communities. But while we’re focused on becoming the best version of ourselves, extremists are doing the opposite. They’re doubling down on efforts to ban books, intimidate educators, defund public schools, and take over local school boards. The calendar may have changed, but their agenda hasn’t. Educated We Stand exists to stop them. Donate today to help Educated We Stand take on extremist threats and defend public education in 2026. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: If one of your goals this year is to protect our schools and our democracy, we hope you’ll stand with us. Thank you for starting the year by standing up for what matters. — Karla Chair, Educated We Stand Paid for by Educated. We Stand. |
