Hi JOHN,

After 60 years of operation, Lectorum Publications, the largest distributor of Spanish-language books in the United States, is being forced to close. This closure creates a gap in access to Spanish-translated books across the country.

Alex Correa, Lectorum’s CEO, explained why: “The most critical factor for us was the shift in federal funding policies for schools, in particular regarding Title I funds, intended in part for purchases of books in Spanish.”

For years, Title I funding helped schools purchase Spanish-language books so students could learn, grow, and see themselves reflected in their classrooms. Now, the Trump Administration has cut off that source, and the impact is immediate and painful.

JOHN, that’s why Educated We Stand is launching a 48-state strategy to stop extremists from gaining control of local school boards — the very places where decisions about curriculum, library access, equity, and student safety are made every single day.

But to confront these attacks head-on, we need the resources to organize, mobilize, and protect our kids — please chip in today.
