Happening Now! DC Education Budget Forum with DC Action Fair Budget Coalition DC Black Swan Academy CARE Washington, DC PAVE (Parents Amplifying Voices in Education) D.C. Area Educators for Social Justice

Tonight the DC community showed up IN FORCE with students, educators, caretakers across all wards sharing their hopes and deep fears about spending cuts and the coming budget. One overwhelming message- Mayor Muriel Bowser & Council of DC need to listen to community before making cuts!

GREAT first start w/ the FY 26 budget. Now we need the Mayor and Council to support PK-12- ✅ Fund new teacher contract ✅ Fund “Bridge the Gap” Experiential Learning Grants ✅ Fund Ed Wellness Grants & Teacher Retention ✅ Expand Community Schools ✅ Fund/ reform Safe Passage

EmpowerEd team spread out across the city to host 3 simultaneous morning workshops w/ school partners in Wards 4, 7 and 8 on: 🧑🏾‍🏫 Teacher Mentorship and Peer Support ✏️ Inclusion and Co-Teaching models 🧘🏾‍♀️Mindfullness and Chair Yoga We LISTEN to teachers and deliver what they need!

This is AMAZING WORK. So why would Chancellor Ferebee and Mayor Muriel Bowser want to cut their budget by over $1 million dollars before they move into a brand new building? Make it make sense. Support our students, support our educators and support our schools! Restore the funding now!

We’re moving and grooving with JOY at the #ShapingOurFuture DC Cross-Sector Social Justice Summit this morning as we gather to bring dynamic organizers, funders and more together to make an impact, fight back against new threats and do it all better because we’re TOGETHER.

It was great to meet with students from all across the city about retaining teachers, ensuring safe communities inside and outside of schools, and providing immersive learning opportunities for all. EmpowerEd

Let's be clear about what this means- a budget process that will be held during June, July potentially into August meaning far lower public engagement. As DC residents take a break and enjoy summer, the Council will make the final crucial decisions not under the public eye.

We are SO excited to announce the 2025 DC Teacher Voice Awards! We'll be joined by Congresswoman and former National Teacher of the Year Jahana Hayes to honor DC educators using their voices to improve DC schools DC & fight back against federal threats. Get your tickets:

A coalition of progressive groups, led by DCFPI and DC Jobs With Justice, claim in a new letter to Bowser that the mayor could avert the $400M she's planning in 2025 cuts with some other maneuvers, including drawing on reserve funds. Here's the full letter: dcfpi.org/wp-content/upl…

Educators showing up today in #Ward7 to let Phil Mendelson know we MUST prioritize experiential learning, educator retention, community schools & more in the budget. In a city of our wealth, it’s only a “tough budget year” if we fail to ask those w/ capacity to INVEST to protect
