K-12 funding already approved by Congress is being withheld from Kansas public schools. State and local education officials say vulnerable populations will feel the most impact.
After $43M withheld from Kansas schools, these key programs could be cut

Currently vacillating between being extremely grateful to my partner for being willing and able to donate plasma to support my classroom and being enraged that it’s necessary.

The reason teachers are using Amazon lists for #clearthelist is because it is the most accessible with all products needed. Do we like relying/using Amazon, not at all. But it is unfortunately what works. For me in Canada, we also don't have any other options that we can turn to.

Keep calling your Republican members in the House of Representatives. And call your Republican governors, too. Let them know how much these cuts will hurt kids and community members.

Call your rep. 231-400-0602

Call your governor. www.usa.gov/state-governor

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would rip healthcare away from 17 MILLION Americans, including 265,000 of our neighbors across Missouri.

All while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt—just to give more tax breaks to billionaires like Donald Trump.

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked:

50th in classroom funding
49th in starting teacher pay
7th highest in gun deaths
6th highest in maternal mortality

Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.
