An Open Letter

To: Sen. Smith, Sen. Klobuchar

From: A verified voter in Minneapolis, MN

February 19, 2025

I’m writing in strong opposition to the Trump administration’s plan to gut the U.S. Department of Education and slash federal funding for public schools. This plan would devastate millions of students—especially those in underserved communities. It would strip 26 million vulnerable kids of critical educational services, deny 7.5 million students with disabilities special education support, make college unaffordable for 10 million working-class families, and cut career and technical education for 12 million students. Exactly what about that does the Senator support? If none of it please fight this plan tooth and nail.
