Trump signed an executive order to shut down the Department of Education. While the GOP works for their billionaire donors, Americans in all 50 states must step up to protect our schools from right-wing attacks. Protecting students, parents, and public schools from funding cuts has never been more important. Popular policies like increasing public school funding, protecting financial aid and Pell Grants, and community libraries and research centers accessible are the bedrock to uplifting the middle class. With the federal government under Trump’s control, state legislatures are the only line of defense between the GOP's wicked agenda and access to the quality education every American child deserves. Only Democrats at the state level can protect public education across the country in 2025 and beyond. The DLCC is committed to electing Democrats at the state level all over the US. Add your name now to show your support for state Democrats standing up for public education.
