As the school year begins, teachers are facing growing challenges due to Trump-era funding cuts.

Now more than ever, we must stand with teachers and show them how much their work is appreciated and how critical it is to our children's future!

Will you be one of the 10,000 people Letitia James is asking to sign her thank-you card to teachers?

Friend, Donald Trump and his administration had their targets set on the most vulnerable students of America from Day One, when they sought to dismantle the Department of Education.

Just weeks before the new school year, they unlawfully froze billions in federal education funds – including $463 million that New York students and educators were counting on. 

These cuts threatened after-school programs, teacher training, mental health services, and classroom resources that our educators, students, and families rely on.

But Attorney General Letitia James took swift legal action, and now, after our lawsuit, the federal government has reversed course and released the funding in full.

This is a major victory – not just for New York, but also for students and educators nationwide. But as federal funding cuts continue to threaten educators in other parts of the country, we must show that they have a coalition of activists fighting for them.

AG James has launched a special thank-you card – collecting 10,000 signatures to uplift the educators who show up for our students every single day. Add your name to our card before 11:59 p.m. tonight to thank our teachers for all they do.

Together, we can ensure that every child in New York receives the high-quality education they deserve.
