Michelle Dunn, Cincinnati Federation of Teachers: JD Vance is our neighbor. what he and Trump are doing right now, cutting education & healthcare to enrich the wealthiest, isn’t what any of us voted for - Democrat or Republican. We are asking him, our neighbor, to stop these cuts. #ProtectOurKids

❤️ We need to #ProtectOurKids from drastic federal #education cuts, including the possible elimination of the US Dept of Ed. I wore #RedForEd today as an AFT AFT Michigan member to stand up for our teachers and kids!

On March 4, we came together. Across the country, in towns big and small, educators, parents, students, and community members stood up for our public schools, our kids, and our communities. #ProtectOurKids

We're celebrating 50th years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act! What does IDEA mean for students? ✅ Individualized learning plans ✅ Early intervention ✅ Inclusive classrooms ✅ Protections & advocacy ✅ Pathways to independence #IDEA50 #ProtectOurKids

NH Republicans have already slashed ~$20M from the university system, which will trigger tuition hikes for the first time in 6 years—now they’ve voted to cut the Governor’s Scholarship Fund, claiming low-income students are 'not traditionally deserving of charity.' #NHPolitics

We will always fight to protect our kids and they need to have a U.S. Department of Education to make sure public education and our students are given all of the educational opportunities they need and deserve. AFT

Virtually every leading First Amendment scholar in the country--conservative and liberal--has joined this statement warning that the Trump administration's threats to Columbia University risk deterring and suppressing constitutionally protected speech. academeblog.org/2025/03/20/a-s…

President Trump just signed an order dismantling the US Department of Education. Please read AFT-NH President Deb Howes' statement here: nh.aft.org/news/statement… AFT

I wouldn't be where I am today without my public education. I'm going to do everything I can to defend the Dept. of Education, protect funding for our schools, and ensure all students, including those with IEPs, receive the support they need to thrive. cnn.com/politics/live-…

Dismantling the Department of Education will leave kids behind, strain local budgets, and put good union jobs at risk. None of this makes sense for America’s working families.

Watch Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸💪🏿👩‍🎓🟣🇺🇦 on CNN explain why shutting down the Department of Education would hurt the kids who need support the most—and how it’s really a push to divert funding into vouchers. #ProtectOurKids youtu.be/tnfC6QvBFso?si…

America’s unions get the job done! A federal judge for AFSCME, @AFTUnion and Alliance for Retired Americans’s lawsuit has blocked DOGE and Elon Musk’s access to millions of people’s Social Security data. We will always fight to protect working people. abcnews.go.com/Politics/hitti…

For the first time in modern history, a president is abandoning the federal role in education. Slashing resources means failing an entire generation. That's why @aftunion members are fighting to #ProtectOurKids. youtu.be/U8hWA1riQkI?si…

While Democrats have been working proactively to support our students, what have Republicans been doing?  Voting to lift the income cap on vouchers to send our taxpayer dollars straight to the wealthiest families in private schools.  Welfare for the wealthy. #NHPolitics

100 days of broken promises.

NH voters oppose universal school vouchers. Now is time for the NH Legislature to listen. #publicfundsforpublicschools
