We are calling on educators, parents, students, and community allies to:
- Mobilize locally to defend public schools and the vital services they provide to kids and families
- Urge federal representatives: Don’t cut kids for tax cuts – oppose education funding cuts and block grants.
- Push state leaders: Say NO to block grants and NO to cuts in federal aid for schools.
