Good morning from Washington, DC! We’re outside the Department of Education to protest the Trump administration’s moved to gut the department and slash federal funding for our kids. #EdMatters #ProtectOutKids

“Tell the Congress: Do your job!”

We have people up and down the block outside the Department of Education - and they’re demanding we stop cuts to education. #EdMatters #ProtectOurKids

We said cancel the debt, not cancel public education!

Time to show up in the streets to fight for public education. #EDMatters

8 - 10 a.m. Friday at the Dept of Ed (400 Maryland Ave SW in D.C.)

Kaitlyn Vitez worked for the Department of Education and was laid off this week by the Trump administration.

She explains why DOE staff are essential to getting people the answers, the resources, and the help they need to succeed.

46 years ago, our Department of Education was created.
It has always enjoyed bipartisan support.
I had the extraordinary opportunity to serve there, along with my amazing colleagues, for seven years.
To see DOE dismantled by Trump this year is beyond devastating.

The Dept. of Education (ED) enforces IDEA and Section 504, ensuring students with disabilities get the services they need. Without it, who holds states accountable? #EDMatters

Pro Tip: If your goal is to fix public education you don’t fire nearly 50% of the Department of Education. If you want to show that #EDMatters, you invest in education, don't dismantle it.

We'll see you tomorrow, DC.

Thank you, Secretary Duncan, for your leadership in education and support of #EDMatters!

I spoke to the @chronicle.com along with a host of other folks about the potential impacts of cuts to ED staff.

The work of civil servants only becomes visible when something breaks and there is no there to fix it.

protest against the department if education layoffs.

This administration hates education and it’s time to stand up.

Block grants are a scam that will defund public education.
Block grants means less money for public education, fewer resources for students, and no accountability when states shortchange kids.
