Donald Trump just issued an executive order calling for the U.S. Department of Education to be dismantled and ceasing many of its activities.

Please email your elected officials in Congress right now and urge them to stop the destruction of the Education Department.

The consequences are real, and it’s students who will be harmed most.

Students in every community of our country—in rural, suburban, and urban areas—benefit from programs run by the Department of Education.

Dismantling the department will:

increase class sizes,
steal resources from our most vulnerable students,
take away services for students with ADHD, dyslexia, and other disabilities,
cut job training programs,
make higher education more expensive and out of reach, and
gut student civil rights protections.
We need your help to stop this power sieze so we can protect the incredible programs run by the Department of Education.

We can’t let billionaires take a wrecking ball to public education. Please write your lawmakers right now.

It is very clear these measures do nothing to support our students or equip them for their futures. This is an orchestrated plan to strip vital resources and federal funding from public schools and give them to private schools.

We won’t be silent as anti-public education politicians hurt our students, our families, and our communities across America.

Together, we will continue to organize, advocate, and mobilize so that all students have well-resourced schools that provide an honest, accurate, and inclusive curriculum that prepares them for the future.

In solidarity,

Becky Pringle
President
National Education Association
