Protect Public Education—Get Involved

President Donald Trump has revealed his top education priori­ties through words and actions since his January inauguration. The list is a call to commitment for all who recognize public education as a pillar of American society.

The Trump administration agenda would harm public education from preschool to high school, colleges and universities, affecting students from rural regions to small towns to suburban and urban areas. Here is what he wants to achieve:

  • Cuts to federal funding for PreK‑12 students living in poverty and those with disabilities
  • Diverting public tax dollars to private and religious schools with a national voucher mandate
  • Gutting protections for vulnerable kids — children from immigrant families and LGBTQ+ youth
  • Eliminating federal funding for programs to help disadvantaged students attend college
  • Restricting students’ freedom to learn accurate history and read books from diverse viewpoints

Now is the time to organize locally — get involved to strengthen your union’s membership and build community and solidarity.
