John, we’re mobilizing. ✊
As Trump and Elon Musk continue their attacks on the Department of Education, we’re standing up for what’s right. The push to dismantle the DOE is more than just politics — it’s a direct attack on our futures.
The DOE funds Pell grants, free school lunches, and protects kids from racial discrimination. Last year, we worked with the DOE on a safe storage campaign to prevent shootings at schools. Trump and Elon Musk want to destroy all of it.
If they’re successful, it would lead to overcrowded classrooms, fewer resources for vulnerable students, cuts to services for students with disabilities, and more. And this is just the beginning. Students are already afraid of gun violence at school. Do we really need to add to their fears?
Last week we joined our friends from the NEA/AFT teachers unions, Sunrise, and so many others at a rally at the Capitol to demand that Trump keeps his hands off our schools.
We refuse to stay silent, John. We know things are only going to get worse, so we cannot become complacent.
Onwards,
March For Our Lives

Your Personal Invite To the Movement Fund 💌💙 At March For Our Lives, we call our monthly supporter program The Movement Fund. Why are monthly recurring donors so important? The amount of one-time individual donations we receive as an organization varies vastly from month to month. Without a steady stream of monthly donations coming in our door, it would be impossible to accurately plan our budgets, create long-term strategies to win a future free from gun violence, plan and execute on-the-ground organizing efforts, recruit and train more gun safety champions, and more. |
