This is not a drill. Call or write your representatives in Congress. The U.S. Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Speak live or leave a message. Save the U.S. Dept of Education to save our students, our schools, and our country’s future.

🗓️SAVE THE DATE: May 3, 10AM EST, ONLINE

📣Our Spring 2025 Gathering’s conference theme is one word: UNMUTE.

📣It is a call to action for anyone who has been trying to regain their footing and voice in this whirlwind of devastating news we encounter daily.

More details to come.

Facts are Facts.

The U.S. Dept of Ed does not and legally cannot “control schools.”

States already do that.

Shutting the U.S. Dept of Ed means ripping $$$ from your local schools. Lowering opportunity for students. Oh, and maybe raising your local taxes.

Fight myths with facts.

While the Trump Administration rescinded guidance on immigration actions in schools (1/20/25), it does not change the law. Facts are facts. Students, regardless of immigration and housing status, have constitutional rights and legal protections.
