Everyone deserves access to higher education
Congress is considering proposals that will strip critical funding from our colleges and universities to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy, making a college education more unaffordable for all of us and completely unobtainable for some, just to give billionaires another handout.
Tell Congress: No Cuts To Education
The Trump administration’s plan to gut federal support for public schools and give tax cuts to billionaires at the expense of loans for students to make college affordable and health care services for those who need it the most (including disabled children) sends a terrible, symbolic message.
Send a letter to Congress right now and tell them: No cuts to education!
Trump’s Broken Promises to Working People
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to stand with working people and tackle the challenges they face. He vowed to make housing more affordable, lower grocery prices—especially for basic staples like eggs—and reduce the overall cost of living. But since taking office, Trump has failed to deliver on these promises.

Stop Elon Musk from stealing Americans' tax and other private data
Elon Musk and his minions are taking Americans’ private personal and financial data, in one of the biggest data hacks in U.S. history. Now that he’s gone to the Department of Education, he has access to the critical personal data of millions of people—anyone who has taken out a student loan or filled out a student aid application (the Free Application for Federal Student Aid). That FAFSA data includes Social Security numbers, tax returns, information on personal assets and more.
