Trump has launched the biggest attack on public education in U.S. history, signing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. If Congress doesn’t act immediately, millions of students, teachers, and families will pay the price.
Democrats in Congress must go all in to block this order—using every tool at their disposal, from budget negotiations to emergency legislation. They can’t afford to wait. Email your Representative and Senators now and demand they fight back against Trump’s dangerous attack on education.
Fill out the form with your information (feel free to add an optional additional comment, if you like), and we'll make sure your email is delivered to your Members of Congress.
The email to your Democratic Members of Congress:
Dear Senator/Representative,
I am writing as a constituent to demand immediate action to block Donald Trump’s executive order dismantling the Department of Education.
This order puts billions in school funding, special education programs, and student loan assistance at risk. If Congress does not act quickly, students and educators across the country will suffer devastating consequences.
I urge you to:
- Publicly commit to opposing any budget that cuts public education funding—no compromises, no excuses
- Introduce and support emergency legislation to restore education funding and block Trump’s order. Congresswoman Jahana Hayes has already led the way by introducing the Department of Education Protection Act (H.R. 433) in January—I expect you to support this legislation.
- Use every tool available—public statements, floor speeches, media interviews—to expose Trump’s plan and hold Republicans accountable for enabling it.
This is an emergency, and we need every Democrat in Congress to fight back with full force. What are you doing right now to stop Trump’s attack on our schools?
