We applaud today's announcement by the Department of Labor and Acting Secretary Julie Su that the Department is proposing to phase out the 14(c) program — which has allowed people with disabilities to be legally paid less than minimum wage. (1/3)

🚨 Congress is considering a bill to abolish the Department of Education! This is a reckless attack on public education that would devastate our schools and hurt millions of students. Trump cannot abolish this department without an act of congress and this would need 60 votes to pass the senate.
