An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend Public Education, Uphold Rule of Law

30 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Safeguarding public education and upholding the rule of law are of paramount importance. The decision to dismantle the Department of Education undermines Congress's constitutional authority and jeopardizes access to quality education for millions of students. I urge you to take decisive action by introducing legislation to preserve the Department and its critical functions. Eliminating this vital agency would inflict severe harm on students, teachers, and communities nationwide by stripping away essential funding, services, and civil rights protections. Public education serves as the bedrock of our democracy, and its dismantling cannot be allowed to proceed unchallenged. Congress must reassert its lawmaking powers, defend democratic norms, and prioritize the educational needs of the American people over partisan agendas. The future of our nation's children and their right to a quality education hang in the balance. I implore you to act swiftly and resolutely in protecting this invaluable institution.
