An activist's job is not just to advocate for their community, but to take care of themselves. We cannot care for others without caring for ourselves first.

“We’ve created a world - very, very quickly, in 4 or 5 weeks - in which the level of American strength is incomparably lower.” Trump is making America far more vulnerable by abandoning allies, embracing enemies & destroying our democratic infrastructure at home.

Dismantling the U.S. Department of Education would hurt all students—especially those from lower-income families and students with disabilities—by cutting essential services, increasing class sizes, and slashing civil rights protections.

The Trump administration knows private school vouchers have failed in Congress and been rejected by voters, so they're using an executive order to push them through anyway—at the expense of 90% of students who attend public schools.
