The administration's proposed funding freeze for education and social welfare programs is deeply concerning. Access to quality education is crucial for the future success of our nation's youth and the overall well-being of our communities. We cannot allow vital programs that support learning and development to be compromised or defunded. I urge you to take a stand against any efforts to cut funding for the Department of Education. These proposed cuts threaten to undermine the progress we have made in ensuring all children, regardless of background, have access to educational opportunities. Robust funding is essential for maintaining strong public schools, supporting teachers, and providing resources for students from low-income families. Education is an investment in our future that pays dividends through a skilled workforce, engaged citizens, and economic growth. Slashing education budgets is remarkably short-sighted. I ask that you prioritize protecting and increasing funding for the Department of Education to uphold our commitment to providing every child with a quality education. The stakes are too high to compromise on this issue.
