The Trump administration wants to make painful cuts to education and healthcare in order to slash taxes for billionaires.
Join us on March 4 and stand up to protect our kids!
On Tuesday, March 4, educators, students, parents and community allies will stand up against assaults on public education and on opportunity for America’s youth. We are calling on lawmakers to strengthen, not undermine, our local public schools and the services they provide to children, families and communities.
Join us on our March 4th to Protect Our Kids Day of Action.
🚨 The Trump administration’s plan to gut the U.S. Department of Education and slash federal funding would devastate millions of students—especially those in underserved communities. 🚨
If enacted, these cuts would:
❌ Strip 26 million vulnerable kids of critical educational services.
❌ Deny 7.5 million students with disabilities the special education support they need.
❌ Make college unaffordable for 10 million working-class families by slashing Pell Grants and student loans.
❌ Cut career and technical education for 12 million students, threatening their job opportunities.
It’s time to fight back! 💪
We are calling on parents, teachers, friends, and neighbors to:
✅Mobilize locally to defend public schools and the vital services they provide to kids and families.
✅Urge federal representatives: Don’t cut kids for tax cuts—oppose education funding cuts and block grants.
✅Push state leaders: Say NO to block grants and NO to cuts in federal aid for schools.
Together, we can protect our kids and fight for their future!
