What's Happening
We won't stand by while the attacks from the Trump/Musk administration threaten resources for our students. Our union has the power to demand that Congress protect funding for students and the Department of Education programs we all rely on, and to keep our school spaces safe from ICE Raids.
Dismantling the Department of Education, laying off thousands of dedicated department of education staff, appointing someone who has never spent a day teaching in a classroom to be our Secretary of Education…these are more than just headlines. They are direct threats to public education and the future of students and families across our community.
The Trump/Musk Administration is betraying public-school students and educators. Education is a non-partisan issue. Students in poverty and students with special needs deserve resources and support in our schools – we can all agree on that. The Trump/Musk Administration is targeting students and families in our communities with these vicious plans to dismantle public education. It’s unacceptable and we’re fighting back.
We’re launching an initiative with members, local chapter leaders, and both CTA and NEA Board of Directors to organize delegations to the 9 GOP Congressional member offices in California from April 11 to April 27, when representatives are in their districts. More information is forthcoming.
Additionally, we’ll be organizing with local chapters in San Diego, Los Angeles, Hanford, Sacramento, and San Francisco for rallies on May 17. Mark your calendars and SAVE THE DATE!
