Protect Public Education – Our Voices Have Been Heard
Public education is at a crossroads, and your voice has never been more important. Thanks to the 650+ educators, parents, and leaders who signed on, we have made it clear that a strong and effective U.S. Department of Education is essential for ensuring equal opportunities, protecting student rights, and supporting schools across the country.
Today, we proudly submitted our letter to newly confirmed Secretary McMahon, urging a firm commitment to federal support for public education. This is just the beginning—we will continue to advocate for policies that empower students, educators, and communities.
Thank you for taking a stand! Stay connected for next steps and future actions.
Why Support the Department of Education?
The Department of Education plays a critical role in:
- Protecting students’ rights and ensuring equal access to quality education
- Providing essential funding to high-need schools and marginalized communities
- Administering student aid to make higher education accessible
- Supporting innovation that improves teaching and learning
- Strengthening partnerships that connect students with essential services like nutrition, healthcare, and internet access
The Department of Education DOES NOT decide what students are taught.
Without a strong Department of Education, federal supports are at risk.
