Educational opportunity for Latino children should be a national priority. Today Linda McMahon failed to denounce Trump's threats to dismantle U.S. Department of Education and dodged on DOGE’s access to student data. We thank Sens. Collins, Markey + Murkowski for putting students first.

Linda McMahon has failed to denounce Trump's threats to dismantle U.S. Department of Education. Today we join The Leadership Conference and civil rights allies to urge the Senate to vote 'no' on her nomination to lead Dept of Education. bit.ly/4h6I41j

The Trump administration’s action to essentially destroy the U.S. Department of Education is yet another short-sighted, reckless and destructive decision that will shortchange the future well-being of all Americans. Read our full statement: bit.ly/3DClMXu Janet Murguía

We rallied today against the Trump administration’s reckless actions to gut U.S. Department of Education. As an organization that represents the families of 1️⃣ in 4️⃣ students who are Hispanic, we demand Congress protect crucial programs and services for students. #EDMatters bit.ly/4huCLsx

This executive order is another reckless move by the Trump administration that threatens the education of millions of students. The reality is U.S. Department of Education, created by an act of Congress nearly 50 years ago, cannot be eliminated by President Donald J. Trump. unidosus.org/press-releases…

As Congress advances a federal budget this week, it's critical they protect Pell Grants. Half of Latino undergrads rely on them to afford college and climb the economic ladder. Cutting these grants would set families — and the U.S. economy — back. bit.ly/3EL8aK4

Nearly 80% of Latino students already work while attending college just to make ends meet. Adding requirements to qualify for Pell Grants creates barriers that limit low-income students’ access to quality education and widen the opportunity gap. bit.ly/3EL8aK4

U.S. Department of Education "When teachers, librarians, firefighters commit to giving back to public service careers, they're often less lucrative than the private sector. We have both a moral obligation & economic incentive to honor that commitment through loan forgiveness," —Magin Misael Sanchez of UnidosUS.

Despite strong opposition from Latino voters and the public, the House today passed a bill that would slash health care, food and education supports — hurting American families. bit.ly/3H5Ofq4 Janet Murguía

As we wrap up Pride 2025, check out out my new blog! Having came out during college, it as been incredibly validating to be able to research and name the dynamics queer Latinx college students face within and outside of the classroom. UnidosUS unidosus.org/progress-repor…

Pride Month might be over, but the fight for Latinx LGBTQ+ students continues, especially on college campuses. Our latest blog post reveals a truth many overlook: nearly 40% of these students have dropped out. 🔗 unidosus.org/progress-repor…

This isn't a question of resilience. It's a question of survival. • 88% face food insecurity. • 30% work full time. • 89% cite emotional stress. • Many are losing safe spaces to DEI rollbacks and center closures.

These students are brilliant and driven. But brilliance shouldn't be required to overcome broken systems. Students need affirming policies, basic needs support and inclusive leadership.

The budget reconciliation bill made one of the largest cuts to higher education in U.S. history which may force students — especially Latino students — to abandon advanced education degrees. Learn more in my latest blog unidosus.org/progress-repor… UnidosUS #highered

The federal budget passed earlier this year is another attempt to undermine educational access and limit opportunities. Our blog post outlines key provisions — and the devastating consequences this will have for Latino students across the country. unidosus.org/progress-repor…

I ran the DOL office that many of these ED programs are going to during the last administration. It's hard to describe how nonsensical what Trump is doing but I'll give it a stab

But education to the states I guess 🤷‍♂️

This has been what you get at multiple NCES sites for the past 3 hours, including IPEDS, Digest of Education Statistics, College Navigator, Common Core of Data. So, yeah, we need a fully staffed Dept of Ed.
